Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe phrase "My God, it's full of stars" was not a part of 2001: Avaruusseikkailu (1968), but was a part of the original novel. In it, the "stargate" monolith was found not floating in space near Jupiter but on the surface of Saturn's moon Japetus (also known as Iapetus). As Bowman flies over the monolith, it suddenly changes from a towering slab to an infinite tunnel (the famous psychedelic tunnel as it's seen in the movie). As this happens, he utters the final phrase which was recorded just before his missing: "The thing's hollow! It goes on forever, and... oh My God, it's full of stars!"
- GoofsNo pods should be in the pod bay in 2010. 2001: Avaruusseikkailu (1968) showed 3 pods. All were lost. The first was lost with Poole's body. The second was lost when Bowman blew the exploding bolts to enter the airlock. The third transported Bowman into the worm hole/monolith. When the crew enters the pod bay in 2010, one pod is is still sitting in it's storage area. (Although ignored in the movie, this is explained in the book (section 4, chapter 24). Dave Bowman is supposed to have retrieved pod #3 on remote while preparing his departure.) It is entirely possible that Bowen could have remotely piloted the pod back to the Discovery.

Review
Featured review
Watch this movie if you want to understand the previous one a little bit better
I never knew a sequel was made of "2001: A space odyssey" until a few months ago. When I finally had watched this film, I understood why. "2010" is anything but a bad movie, but it doesn't offer the same remarkable innovation its predecessor did. Nevertheless, this film has some great special effects which are, just like "2001", way ahead of its time. Watching this film, it's hard to believe that it's already more than 15 years old! Because this film sets off immediately where the previous one ended, you're involved the second you start watching! As a result of this, "2010" sheds some serious light on many unanswered questions of "2001: A space odyssey". This alone makes the story of "2010" very appealing, because one wants to know the true meaning behind the mysterious monolith.
The only let down of the film is that the characters are quite thin and the acting isn't always very convincing. Add to that one or two scenes that can be a bit monotonous and you know why I think "2010" is not as good as "2001".
Even so "2010" is worth-watching thanks to breathtaking special effects and a storyline that'll make the previous movie a little bit more understandable.
