I absolutely applaud this film for not attempting to be “2001”, it’s the opposite in most respects. But it’s also pointless as a result. It’s a plot driven retread for the majority of it, and while the finale is interesting, it’s too littleI absolutely applaud this film for not attempting to be “2001”, it’s the opposite in most respects.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It can't be easy being a sequel to one of the greatest movies of all time.

2010 is a decent movie, but it doesn't even try to recapture the epic scope of the original. While I think it should be judged on its own merits (and there is a lot of merit to this movie), it's still hard to see it as more than a huge missed oportunity.

It was nice seeing the Discovery again. Keir Dullea as a now omnipresent Dave Bowman is probably the pest part of this movie. HAL gets a nice little redemption arc, which was surprisingly touching.

This movie isn't bad, it just had a lot too live up to. The final result is entertaining enough, but there's a reason it isn't as well remembered as its presecessor. I wouldn't be surprised if some people didn't even know this film existed.

It's a fine science fiction movie, but a Space Odyssey movie should be a lot more that just "fine".
