I never compare apples to oranges. 2010 is now deservedly considered a classic science fiction film. Once you understand that 2001 stands alone in its greatness, you can appreciate the sequel for what it is. A faithful adaptation of the work of one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. I enjoyed the theme of rebirth and resurrection, a constant throughout the film, especially HAL's.
You can't compare 2001 and its sequel. 2010 never purported to have the cinematic artistry of Kubrick's piece yet 2010 at least had a screenplay,plot and some great acting from the likes of Scheider reprising the role of Heywood Floyd and also Helen Mirren and John Lithgow - you could relate more to the characters also. I personally love 2010 though I see the merits of 2001 and its groundbreaking nature.

I totally agree with your comment.
@Vejur9000 i agree with everything about your statement...except the film being faithful to the book. In the film, the Soviet and Americans are protrayed as distrusting one another and that the world is on the brink of World War III. In the book, this was not so, in fact Floyd was highly respected by the Soviet crew. And they completely ignored the Chinese landing on Europa and the tragedy of the Tsien.
@bentotheclarke The monolith is trying to start life on Europa. Dave Bowman knew this and told Hal 9000 to send a message to Earth that ment that the new planets of Jupiter were their's for the taking, except Europa. The Monolith doesn't want humans there. They might tamper with the life its making.
@priestpega Most disappointing comment ever, this sequel is actually BETTER than most sequels.
I actually like the more acclaimed 2001 film also (the ONLY one in my family who likes it), but I too find 2001 BORING at times, while 2010, is very watchable from start to finish. Despite it's dated Cold War theme, on it's own 2010 is a wonderful movie, better than most of today's films.
They projected back then that we would be on all these conquests through space with robots and motherships. Here it is 2010.. the biggest advances we is the cel phone.. and perhaps the flat screen TV.
The first movie I ever saw with Helen Mirren in it. Because of that, and how insanely talented she is, I honestly thought she was Russian for about ten years!!
@ForceMaximus84 - LOL! funny. And you know she really is of Russian descent. Mironoff is her actual surname. Perhaps that's why the accent was so well done!
@faze3todd and how do you know that they wont kill us!? let me tell you my feelings are that thngs are going to get pretty weird in the next 2 years.. be open to any posibilities or else you are going to go insane.
Its too bad the Bluray as had a poor remix! Yes I have the original first edition on region 2 DVD six-track Dolby stereo! The bluray has had the stereo left and right discrete folded onto the monaural surrounds SIGH! Also the centre phantom stereo front has been folded onto the centre discrete, I kid you not! Thus the Bluray has fake stereo surrounds! The film was originally produced in (70mm Dolby format 42) not (70mm Dolby format 43).
I know! I always wondered what The Terminator or Back to the Future would look like if those movies were made today but with the same scripts and actors (obviously the same asge they were in the movie)
okay , Y'all its 2010 , lets get it together ya you too Roy Schieder , get the lead out , you said this is the year we make contact ? I'm waiting , LOL !!!!
As sequels go and for what it's worth, I consider it a decent companion.
I dare not compare it to the style of Kubrick's vision of "2001: A Space Odyssey", but would, instead, view it from Hyam's personal interpretation from Arthur C. Clarke's novel '2010: Odyssey Two'.

Its the year 2011
we are still stuck on Earth
fighting over waterholes and oil wells
we still don't have a moon base and the best thing we have is the ISS
the furtherest planet man has gone to is the Moon
and the mean of transport is by flying there using dead plants as fuel
