Unless you screen it in a Cinerama venue you can not 'recreate' the original experience.
Folks like Nolan are hung up on the idea of 'film' ..
I wish we would go back to the term " motion pictures ".
The art form is about individual frames of imagery projected on a screen that create the ILLUSION of motion. 'Film' is just one way of transmission. Like the zoetrope which used paper or flip books.
Do we want to hear music on wax cylinders?

Exactly. I can almost certainly guarantee that Kubrick would have used digital cameras and display systems... but only once the technology and visual quality had matured to the point where it was comparable to, or had surpassed, that of film. Arguably, we're there. The technical aspects of film making were hard practical matters for Kubrick in the pursuit of his asthetic. Zero nostalgia.
Both Sidney Lumet and Martin Scorsese endorsed digital. That's good enough for me by a long chalk.
Kubrick was the first director to employ Dolby Noise reduction - A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
Ebert confused digital VIDEO with hd digital. The former did look awful but it wasnt what digital cinema was all about.

Well said, Mr. Marshall. Scholars often do talk about the history of "the moving image," which can be traced well back into the nineteenth century and beyond.
As for the concluding question . . . No, but there seem to be people who want to hear music on . . . Well, let's not go there!
I wont go there  .
No one seems too upset about digital photography.
The art is the same, only the tools are different.

Continuing the 50th anniversary celebration of Stanley Kubrick’s science fiction masterpiece “2001: A Space Odyssey,” Warner Bros. Pictures is bringing the film to more than 350 IMAX theatres across North America for one week only, beginning on August 24. This marks the first time ever that moviegoers will have the opportunity to view the seminal film on the largest possible screen, creating a truly immersive experience. The announcement was made today by Jeff Goldstein, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
The IMAX engagement comes on the heels of the widely successful “unrestored” 70mm film release of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” which was overseen by acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, a lifelong admirer of Kubrick.
As part of the week-long IMAX release, four select theatres will be showcasing the feature on IMAX 70mm film: AMC Universal Citywalk IMAX, Universal City, AMC Lincoln Square IMAX, New York City, AMC Metreon IMAX, San Francisco, and Ontario Place Cinesphere IMAX, Toronto. The IMAX 70mm film print, to be shown exclusively in these four locations, was created from the recently released “unrestored” 70mm print—a true photochemical film recreation struck from new printing elements made from the original camera negative with no digital tricks, remastered effects, or revisionist edits. The additional IMAX theaters will be presenting a brand new 4K restoration of “2001: A Space Odyssey” in IMAX with Laser and IMAX Xenon projection formats.

IMAX is not 'wide screen', it is 'tall screen'
So, seeing it there isn't really that big a deal. They will have to letterbox the image

I think this IMAX release is great. Many more people will get a chance at a big screen viewing.
