Review of 2010 (1984) by Elmer A — 12 Jun 2014
Arthur C. Clarke's Odyssey series continues with the sci-fi thriller 2010. Picking up where 2001 left off, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition is sent to Jupiter to recover the Discovery space-shuttle; which was lost while on a mission to explore the mysterious Monolith.
The film has a solid cast lead by Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, and Helen Mirren. And, the special effects are pretty good; capturing the wonder and grandeur of space. However, the script's a little too expository; in contrast to the last film, which was all enigma and ambiguity.
A true space odyssey, 2010 delivers the excitement and adventure that was lacking in 2001.
