Trivia:
The score was originally composed by Tony Banks (of Genesis), but Banks' score was ultimately dropped & has never been released. David Shire was brought on board to do the final score for the film. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the Soviet Space Council's Dimitri Moisevitch tells Dr Heywood Floyd "This is very bad for my asthma", Moisevitch in his heavy Russian accent unaccountably pronounces "asthma" in the usual American way, "azma", instead of in the Russian way, "astma". more

If Clarke's a part of it, it's good enough for me, 13 December 2000
5/10
Author: Anders Åslund (anders.aslund@xpress.se) from Karlstad, Sweden

I measure sci-fi flicks after the amount of correctness and scientific expertise (with the exception of fun but brainless sci-fi such as "Armageddon" or "Starship Troopers"), and if something is good enough for Clarke or Sagan, it's good enough for me.

This sequel to "2001" is much less of a mystery and is not so tedious. It follows the book very well, right up to the fantastic ending that thrilled me beyond belief when I read it. I actually wish for the rest of the series to be made into films as well, especially 2064, which is a fantastic space adventure with crash landings on the forbidden moon, mentioned in "2010", a rescue mission and a chance to get a closer look at the biological experiment that the makers of the monolith have undertaken by "lighting" Jupiter, the failed second star of the Solar System.

A good film, no more, no less, and though overshadowed by it's infamous prequel, it is a tad easier to watch.
