Editorial Review:No director could ever have hoped to repeat the artistic achievement of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and nobody knew that better than Peter Hyams, who made this much more conventional film from the first of three sequel novels by Arthur C. Clarke. Whereas Kubrick made a poetic film of mind-expanding ideas and metaphysical mysteries, Hyams shouldn't be blamed for taking a more practical, crowd-pleasing approach. In revealing much of what Kubrick deliberately left unexplained, 2010 lacks the enigmatic awe of its predecessor, but it's still a riveting tale of space exploration and extraterrestrial contact, beginning when a joint American-Soviet mission embarks to determine the cause of failure of the derelict spaceship Discovery. Having arrived at Discovery near the planet Jupiter, the American mission leader (Roy Scheider) and his Russian counterpart (Helen Mirren) must investigate the apparent failure of the ship's infamous onboard computer, HAL 9000, as well as the meaning of countless mysterious black monoliths amassing on Jupiter's surface (an interpretation Kubrick originally left up to his viewers). Meanwhile, Earth is on the brink of nuclear war, and an apparition of astronaut David Bowman (Keir Dullea) appears to repeatedly promise that "something wonderful" is about to happen. The DVD includes an interview with Arthur C. Clarke, an eight-page booklet, and original trailers for 2001 and 2010. --Jeff Shannon

Arthur C. Clark's 2001 left us with many unanswered questions. From the epic proportions of the mysterious black monolith to the disturbance in the patterns of evolution; 2010 is adhering to more sci-fi than its predecessor. The movie adaptation, while keeping the plot bobbling trims out much of the stuff from this amazing book. A must read for all sci-fi fans.

I expected an incredible looking and sounding movie on blu-ray but didn't see much of a difference from the DVD version which is also poor quality. The blu-ray video is very grainy. This is the poorest blu-ray transfer I've seen yet. This was a total waste of money. The same goes for 2001.

First of all let me state that I love this movie. It's obviously different from the original 2001, but it's nevertheless a very satisfying sci-fi flick. In fact what amazes me to this day is how they created such great special effects for a movie as old as it is. I still like what they were doing in that department back then over all the fake looking CGI(yes, it all looks fake if you pay attention) stuff we use today.
With that said, this movie desperately needed a remastering and sadly ... Read More

I'd like to know why there are so many Blu-Ray reviews when this product listing is for a standard DVD format?

I got 2001 as the first Blu-Ray movie I purchased... and that PQ was excellent thruout! So, being apparently naive, I made additional purchases of Blu-Ray movies and television among which was this 2010 movie. I had read the poor reviews and the only reason I did buy this product was that, when I put my DVD version of this movie into my BR player to try out the upscaling... I was quite disappointed as the picture was shrunk on the screen and I had to use zoom to get it widescreen. However, in using the ... Read More
