As long as you're not expecting anything even remotely like 2001 in regards to Stanley Kubrick's style of directing, you'll probably enjoy this follow-up film. Taking place after the original film, we find Roy Scheider's character, Dr. Heywood Floyd, being visited by a ghostlike Dave Bowman from the original film. Dr. Floyd is on a mission to Saturn to find out what happened to Dave. Meanwhile back on Earth, the world is on the bring of nuclear war. Dave then informs Dr. Floyd that "something wonderful" is about to happen. It's a good film though not nearly as cerebral as 2001 or likely to be subject to as much discussion afterwards as to what it means. Oh, and yes, the HAL 9000 is in it as well. Definately worth a look.

2010 is of course a followup to the classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. While the original 2001 had very little dialog, 2010 suffers from having too much, plus narration. It's just too talky, which keeps it from having the sense of wonder of the original film. Nothing could live up to 2001. Even taking that into account, 2010 is a good film, but not a great one - which is why I could only give it 4-stars. Still, it is an enjoyable movie.

More than 15 years since 2001: A Space Odyssey, 2010 tries to answer what happen to spaceman Dave Bowman, his starship and it's AI computer HAL 9000. Another movie from my early adulthood that I found a treasure to watch again.
