If you're referring to the movie itself

SPOILER: show

The climax seems ambiguous by design and everyone interprets it differently with respect to their belief system. Which is unlike Nolan's endings which are usually limited to two outcomes.

(More information about the third act)
SPOILER: show
When the protagonist overcomes the odds and makes it to Jupiter, he's pulled into a "vortex" and a trippy psychedelic sequence begins, watching weird cosmic occurrences that he's not able to wrap his brain around because the human mind is restricted to three dimensions. Without going into much detail, the protagonist passes away and gets reincarnated into "the star child", the next evolutionary step for our species. He's then guided back to earth by one of the monoliths, similar to the one that's shown in the beginning of the movie.



And if you're wondering about the formats, Digital IMAX is limited to two 2K projectors working in tandem. 70mm film retains more information due to its size and analog nature. The colors and blacks are richer. While it can't be quantified, enthusiasts / nerds suggest that the resolution is comparable to that of 12K.
