Review of 2010 (1984) by Angel M — 28 Jan 2010
This stays true to the First !! And That is sooo nice It is as good If not beter .. You Have to rilly have liked the first to Understand and enjoy the second..9 Years Later A crew Is sent .. The Discovery One is found abandoned but undamaged, orbiting Jupiter close to the moon Io.
After space walking over to it, Curnow reactivates its on-board systems, and Chandra restarts the HAL 9000 computer ("HAL"), which had been deactivated before the Monolith had been found. The Monolith is then rediscovered in the Lagrange point between Jupiter and Io.
Cosmonaut Max Brailovsky travels to it in an EVA pod, but is killed by a burst of power that emerges from the Monolith and heads into outer space towards the Earth..A series of scenes follow in which Dave Bowman, who has been transformed into an incorporeal being, travels to the Earth.
He appears on his widow's TV screen and says his final goodbyes and visits his terminally-ill and senile mother in a nursing home, combing her hair, much to her delight, as he had done during his boyhood.
She is found dead in her bed shortly afterwards.
