Review of 2010 (1984) by Will A — 24 Aug 2012
It's not a bad movie. But it's not that great. It's entertaining and suspenseful at times. But I don't find myself comparing it to Kubrick's "2001." Mainly because it doesn't feel like a sequel, it feels more like a spin-off. There are some familiar characters and places, but this film is much more formulaic than it's predecessor.
The special effects are great, especially considering the year it was made. The acting is convincing. Although I did find Schneider's lead performance outshined by Mirren and Lithgow. The ending may upset some, but I found it fitting. The ending was marginally above adequate, just like the movie.
"2001" was a space epic. "2010" is just a space movie.
