2010: The Year We Make Contact

Post by wautd »

That movie will be on here tonight. I've never saw it, and untill recently ive never heared of it (i always tough there was never been a sequel of 2001: A Space Odyssey) so i guess it isnt "that" great.

Is it worth watching it?


comments plz (try to keep the spoilers low ;))

Um, it's worth watching at least once. But don't expect to be "wowed" by it.

ERm.... why isn't this in OSF?

BTW - I have seen both 2001 and 2010, though both of them confused the hell out of me. Perhaps I should see them again.

2010 is less confusing than 2001,it doesn't have a 20 minutes of WTF is going on at the end.

At least it got much more story, and no 15-minuets light-only-sequences.

I haven't seen the movie, but the book is pretty good. I just wish they would make 2061 and 3001 into movies.

Fat chance of that. 2061 was a little lacking in action, and 3001 was even more so.

As for 2010, its definitely a good flick.

It's alright, but it's not amazing. The russian ship looks like an Omega though, that little novelty kept me entertained enough to keep watching. :P

I know. :(

But I'd pay to see 3001 just to see the monolith blockade of Lucifer at the end.

More like the Omegas look like Leonov, given their respective dates. ;)

I liked 2010, but it might feel a bit dated now with the end of the Cold War.
