I caught 2010 on VHS in middle school, I think, shortly after first discovering 2001, and do recall enjoying it, but all I really remember is flashing panels and lots of dialogue- ha! Definitely due for a revisit.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-42263190942656328582011-12-27T04:14:52.815-05:002011-12-27T04:14:52.815-05:00While all of your points are valid, I respectfully...While all of your points are valid, I respectfully submit that there is indeed a way to make a version of "2001" that explains everything and yet remains fun and watchable. It's just that this film isn't it (although it gets effort points for the Tim Robbins "Dance the Night Away" sequence and the part where he's apparently turned to stone like people do in space). Peter Hyams' "2010," however, is the right way to do it. Scheider, Lithgow, Balaban, awesome cold war dynamics, one of those giant fields of satellite dishes!
