Review of 2010 (1984) by Spencer P — 26 Apr 2015
Somewhat decent follow up that does not quite fill the big shoes of the iconic film, 2001.
It lags in the second quarter of the film with character interactions, and suffers a cheap, tacked-on ending.
That said, it approaches some interesting concepts at the opening, and builds suspense with the ominous, newly regenerated HAL 9000.
Sadly, it takes the easy way out by explaining away much of its predecessor film, then settles into being a straight forward drama turned suspense movie with little wit or awe or nuance - a waste.
Man, I guess I just did not like this movie.
It had the opportunity to be great, but it missed out in rather small ways to be simply adequate.
Ok for one time thru, but that's about it.
