'2010' is the type of film that, if you come across it, you'll leave it on, and you'll be happy to. It's more of a "Fun Hang" to watch than the original. It just doesn't have any status as this major "Piece of Art" that Kubrick's did. As a kid though, I "Got" what was going on much more of what was going on in '2010'--I dunno if that's good OR bad; it was just, again, an "Easier Hang" as a movie. '2001' needs you to be a true Film Buff to really wrap your head around some of what Kubrick is pulling off.

@@ZoolGatekeeper Bob Balaban's performance in that scene is really quite good, and the script is saying a lot, actually about the human condition (or even more accurately "The living condition") and this Man of Science grappling w/ it in a life or death moment. When he's shutting SAL down earlier in the film, and she asks "Will I dream?" he assures her for sure. All intelligent life dreams when they sleep; he takes it as a matter of course. But with HAL, he knows, what's going to happen to HAL is going to mean Death, no matter what, and whether HAL is a genuinely "Intelligent Life Form" or not, HAL is going to die. And since Dr. Chandra sees HAL as his progeny, he wants to be honest with HAL (especially since forcing dishonesty on HAL was what proved so disastrous in '2001'). There is a moment of heartbreak when HAL asks him "Will I dream?" and Dr. Chandra has to admit, really, to HAL and to himself "Honestly, I don't WHAT happens to any of us when we die!" and has to tell HAL, quite sadly: "I don't know, HAL...." Just thinking of the scene has me going "Damn, Bob, fine job there!"

I disagree about being SK being sore about it. Kubrick, being Kubrick, had no interest in doing a sequel, especially a conventional Hollywood style sci-fi adventure. He'd said everything he had to say the first time around and had long since moved on. The "I don't care" comment sounds like stereotypical Kubrick; "make it your own" is the great man inside the genius speaking. I think he recognized that Hyams was a worthy successor for this material and was telling him, "don't just make a bland studio picture, son; put your heart into it. I know you can. Do me proud."

1 - you mean “noncorporeal” every single time you talk about Bowman. 2 - it’s unclear if you realize that’s Europa at the 6:00 mark. 3 - 2010 is *highly* regarded for its VFX work, both its miniatures and its trailblazing CGI use in Jupiter’s clouds (its also the first depiction of Jupiter’s ring as seen during the aerobraking maneuver). They even rebuilt the dang Discovery model from film images because both the original model and its plans had been destroyed. It’s the last hurrah for old-school model work. 2001 is peak Kubrick, but 2010 is much more human. Those of us old enough to remember the Cold War could easily imagine tensions ramping up like they do here. Anyone else have to watch The Day After in class?

Once again, I feel 2010 is lost in a review that just simply acknowledges that it's a better film than initially received. It is not. It is a fantastic film that in some ways is better than 2001, and in others it is inferior. I get that you made this point, but as always you stroke the ego if Kubrick. I personally feel that 2010 is more of a human drama which is why the acting and dialogue takes center stage. The effects aren't inferior, they just aren't choreographed like 2001's. The reason is for time. 2001 wasn't so much concerned with narrative as it was with composition and art. 2010 had to take up all the narrative debts left over from the first film, while projecting itself even further. It had to flesh out HAL-9000 of all things. That was probably the hugest narrative challenge, because the first film just painted him as a psychopathic AI. Here in 2010 once it is explained what happened, they then develop HAL a bit more and the scene between HAL and Dr. Chandra towards the end is one of the most tearful and endearing ever between a person and a piece of hardware. That's a tribute to the filmmaker who had to write and direct the film. There's alot more to explore and I feel that this film stands apart from the first, not because its inferior, but because it truly is it's own film, while feeling like a sequel.
@RaikenXion4 жыл бұрын
I have to dissagree with you, as you can see it any praise heaped on Kubrick for what he achieved with 2001 you see as stroking his ego, no the man deserves that praise and admiration. He managed to make a "Film" outside of the Hollywood studio and influence, that has so much symbolism and layers to it. It is a truly great and very intelligent sci fi film. 2010 is a nice movie, a "human drama"? yes, a great human drama maybe but it just doesnt touch 2001 and i feel anyone choosing to step up to that plate and make a sequel to Kubrick's 2001, owe it to themselves to try and match that same level of greatness. I'd agree with you on one thing that 2010 is definitely it's own film, it doesnt copy or follow any of the story-structure of 2001 and thats a good thing. But its just the overall set design and directing style, the camera work that really falls short. None of it has that gravitas that 2001 has. The best way i can describe to you what im trying to say and exactly how i see 2010 compared to 2001 is by giving you this example. Ridley Scott's 80s Blade Runner adap, then Denis Villenuve Blade Runner 2049 sequel. That imo is truly a great sequel as good as the first, it is it's own movie, its not a copy-paste of the original, it has many elements from the original, it captures that same feel and style but tells a completely different story tat builds on what the original did and has a truly great plot-twist. BR 2049 also took risks and it truly did not make the money the Hollywood studio may have expected, mainly because it was not the typical conventional movie or movie sequel mainstream audiences are accustomed to and i love it for that. All in all, Blade Runner 2049 is a "true sequel" while still feeling like "it's own film". The visual look, tone, quality set design and budget are all there and the subtext which is everything i feel 2010 greatly lacks. Denis Villenuve manages to make his OWN film, with his own style while staying completely true to everything Ridley Scott once achieved with his original "Blade Runner", this is something i feel Peter Hyams fails at with 2010.

Bruce Laborin 2001 was an artistic film. 2010 is an entertainment movie. These are different categories. But within those categories, 2001 is a masterpiece, and 2010 is merely great. There are a lot of great movies but very few masterpieces of film. So you are comparing an artistic masterpiece of film, to a great movie. There is very little story in 2001. The pace of 2001 is excruciatingly slow by the standards of the 1980s. There is almost no exposition, and audiences were left confused. By contrast, 2010 is well paced, the story is accessible, and there is sufficient exposition to bring the audience along for the ride.
@brucelaborin21244 жыл бұрын
@@Ojisan642 Pretty much my point that I made. Two different films, and the guy in the video was making it sound like 2010 was the overstated sequel that doesn't fit. I don't agree, which is why I made the point of saying they're both great films, but on different sides of the same railroad tracks. It's like comparing Inglorious Basterds to being the inferior bastard retarded sibling action/comedy side of the holocaust, and Schindler's List being the praise worthy drama side. Both sides of this fence do the same thing, from different perspectives. I think its a false celebration to make on one side over the other. I enjoy 2001 everytime I see it, but when I said to the commentator that 'always he celebrates Kubrick', it was because he was making a terrible point of degrading Peter Hyams and his work with 2010. I wish to break the auteur mentality of films, because not every film needs to be, or can be, a masterpiece. We run the risk of everybody seeking to make a masterpiece, and making poor films, instead of great sequels like 2010. To prove this point, Martin Scorcese derided the Marvel films as not being true films, and I disagree. Their storytelling is everybit as legitimate as his films, and some Marvel films even have a "Masterpiece Impact" on an audience, but because the great Martin Scorcese didn't direct them, he expects that we should slurp on his cock and agree with him for it. I refuse to see comic books, or smaller scoped films that further a story, as being inferior just because an auteur didn't direct them. Auteurs have the eye, and not every director has the eye, which is why Masterpieces exist. The rest of the film world is composed of great films, average films, and poor films. Most are just trying to find that hit, while great filmmakers just want to make great pieces. But the masterpieces stand apart, and should, but that doesn't mean that the filmmaker at the next step down should be deconstructed as a bastard retard wannabe. Peter Hyams just set out to tell the sequel that deserved to be told, and didn't set out to top Kubrick. And because of it, we have some great moments of pathos, not just great photography. That's the difference of a masterpiece from a great film. A masterpiece gives you a delayed reaction that sometimes can take the place of confusion. It might require you to investigate. A great film will hit you in the gut and trigger a certain response that you completely understand, and makes you remember it for that kind of reason. Both 2001 and 2010 are remembered by people for these different reasons. Anyone who steps on Hyams for not being Kubrick is the fool. Thats where this guy who made this critique is. Just another fool throwing petals at Kubrick's feet, at the expense of Hyams.

I was asking for years why we don't send more missions to explore the most likeliest place off Earth that could harbor life and instead looking at unlikely places like Mars and Titan? Even in early 1980s the knowledge of how much likeliness of life was still low compared to 20 years later.

You seem to misunderstand the making of this film. Hyams deliberately shot every scene on the Discovery in the opposite way to Kubrick, mostly in order to focus on the characters rather than comparatively dull nature of spaceflight (the inverse of Kubrick's technique), but also to differentiate the visual style in general. A very important part of the production was making sure 2010 would stand on its own, a difficult task considering its predecessor. Comparing the effects of 2010 with a Doctor Who episode is accentuating the negative far too much, especially considering 2010 pioneered computer graphics as well as 70mm model work. 2010 it's also far more known than you think. The film was not only rather big in its day, but also experienced a renaissance in 2001 and 2010. If anything, it has become more respected as it has aged. Your take comes across as someone who just discovered the film, and assumes no one else has. Not everyone is as young as you, and you do yourself a disservice framing an essay from that perspective. You also mix up "corporeal" with "non-corporeal". Don't do that.

I agree; 2010 is a good movie. I saw 2001 when it came out back in 1968. I was nine and had no idea what that movie was about. Later, in high school, I read the novel, and while it explained the original story, I was still lost. I saw 2010 at one of the theaters on base when it came out and immediately bought the novel. Many of my questions about 2001 were answered in both the sequel and the novel. Both films are in my iTunes library, and even after all these years, 2001: A Space Odyssey, while I still don't fully understand what Kubrick / Clarke is trying to convey, the photography is beautiful. I can't help but think the juxtaposition between that imagery and "timeless" music (as you say) and how it affects the individual is the real meaning behind 2001. 2010 gives us a new hope, if you'll forgive the shameless connection to modern sci-fi film and an empire that is restarting the Cold War.

The part on "2010" that always sticks out in my mind is when Floyd does a perfectly normal one-gravity run onto the bridge of the Leonov (which is in a non-rotating part of the ship) to persuade Capt. Kirbuk (why her name was changed from the book's "Orlova" I don't know) to do the perturbation burn with Discovery as a booster, and demonstrates by using two pens which are suddenly floating in weightlessness above the chart table. Perhaps Hyams was "drinking his wheeskey from Kentucky."

The *only* reason some of the 2010 optical effects look "cheap" is because the 1080p version most readily available is (for lack of a better word) over-exposed. The blacks are gray and the matte separations and densities are obvious in a way that were invisible in theaters. In short, it needs the kind of restoration and remastering that Outland got - for all the same reasons and to all the same positive results. If you have the capability, lower the gamma or simply drop the blacks a bit and increase the contrast. This will get you closer to the values and densities audiences saw in the theater. I remember my friend saying at the time "...what did they do, shoot on location in f*cking space?". 2010 remains one of the best motion-controlled, optically composited science fiction films of all time - along with films like Blade Runner and Empire Strikes Back.
@tripsadelica3 жыл бұрын
I agree somewhat but I think that when you look at 2001 which did not use motion control at all then 2010 comes across as second rate both in the direction of the space scenes and the quality of the effects work. 2010's art direction was woeful as were the decisions to use picture tube monitors for workstations (when 2001 had shown flatscreens and pad computers) and the tacky costume designs. As to your list of optically-composited scifi films of the time...add to that list, Star Trek-The Motion Picture. Apart from the visible matte lines around the Klingon battle cruisers at the start of the film, the rest of the effects work (the Enterprise and V'ger) is top notch and cannot be matched by CGI to this day.

I saw 2010 (which I believe to be an great film) in a movie theater with an excellent sound system in 1984. The scene where the American/Russian space ship performs the aero braking maneuver in Jupiter's upper atmosphere is absolutely stunning. The fear of the unknown (the maneuver had never been tested before and could go wrong) exhibited by the actors playing the astronauts is palatable. The sound effects of the braking maneuver, swelling in a slow crescendo from a slight vibration to a roaring and deafening thunder is literally breathtaking. It might very well the best, most realistic special effect I have ever experienced in a movie theater, and this was 40 years ago! I have later seen the movie (including this particular scene) on the small screen (well, still 70 inch, not that small) but it doesn't even come close to what I experienced in 1984. One would have to do another theatrical release in a top-notch movie theater to experience this scene the proper way.

It's really too bad 1984 had Dune and Terminator within months, because the sequel deserved to be seen by more people. There's particularly an amazing vertigo-inducing scene in it when poor Lithgow has to drift over to the Odyssey with Baskin. I'd never felt the floor drop out from under me like I did in the theater in that moment. My biggest hang ups about it are the USSR references that could have been just generic Russia stuff instead, but they couldn't have known it would be gone so soon obviously, and the added "use them together, use them in peace" line.

I agree that some scenes were cherry picked, but even the ones picked honestly still looked great in 2010. Peter was clearly giving us the proper elements to solidify this as a legit sequel, yet also clearly changing the lighting and even the mood so that it didn't seem like he was just trying to clone Stanley's directing style too much. I think where a lot of people still struggle are with scenes like 12:52 where the lady (forget her name) was leaning forward and glaring at Roy Scheider with the other old boy's silhouette sits silently between the two. This is clearly an attempt to clone not only Kubrick's style, but even further indeed- some view this as Hyam actually attempting to steal some of his very hallmarks which put Kubrick in a league of his own. I think it's this subtle yet distinct liberal "borrowing" on Hyam's part that caused such a clear line to be drawn among so many of Kubrick's fans. To trash the 2010 a little is their way of saying to Peter, "You can try on his pants and try to act like him, but you'll never be Kubrick son". That's my two cents on it anyhow, and personally I'm glad Peter did the film as I think it was clear Kubrick would have never been interested. So if fans of the original movie were going to get a sequel at all- this is about as good as anyone can expect imho. Honestly, now that I think about it, I could even see both the original 2001 and 2010 being remade with justice today if the job fell in the right director's hands- like a Robert Zemeckis in his prime, perhaps.

To whatever extent 2010 has become forgotten (and as much as he exaggerates it here, the fact remains that it is a much less well known film than 2001), that line seems to have stuck in the cultural memory long after the rest of 2010 was largely forgotten, to the point that I suspect many believe it actually is from the original 2001 film.

As an old fella who saw 2001 at the cinema in 1968, I say 2010 has been forgotten simply because - although it was pretty good - it wasn't as ground-breaking. Some of the appeal of the original was due to the amazingly convincing effects, which were so clean and free of artefacts that people left the cinema wondering how this movie had been made at all. By 1984 things had moved on, and good effects were easier and cheaper to do and no longer caused wonder. The films are different in concept too. 2001 is mostly an effects movie with a bit of a story. 2010 has a conventional, linear story and uses effects where it has to.

I generally hate sequels because most of the time they're excuses to milk a popular IP. But in this case, the first movie was an adaptation from a book that itself has three sequels, so making 2010 was just completing the task of adapting that material. That's the reason I was also fine with Doctor Sleep.

I think the original novel of 2010 is a much more realistic take on how international conflict would go down today. In the novel, America still do hitch a ride on a Soviet spacecraft, but the antagonist was China. They built a spacecraft that was faster than any other in an attempt to rush to the Discovery, using only enough fuel to get there with plans to refuel with water from Europa to return. But when they landed on Europa to refuel, they were attacked by the lifeforms below the ice. There was no conflict between the US and Russia shoehorned into the film.

A fair review. Good job. I still love 2010 and watch it every now and then. I find it to be a much darker film than 2001, with a fairy tale ending, which is a strange combination but it works. My favorite scene is when HAL is relaying messages from Bowman to Floyd. Floyd: "Well tell whoever it is that I can't accept that unless I have proof." HAL: "The answer is: 'I understand. Look behind you.'"

As a young person who is a huge fan of the entire 2001 franchise, this video had me in the first half. 2001 was such a captivating movie that it made me purchase and read all four of the novels in the series (the last two which I would say are a lot more "forgotten" than 2010, novel or film), and after reading 2010 and discovering the film, my love for the series grew even more. While 2001 is a movie I watch time and time again for the visual experience, 2010 is a comfort film of sorts. I grew up fascinated by space and 2001 captures the beauty of it, but 2010 captures the humanity of space travel. Laughing at some of the visual effects in 2010 is a fun pass-time (that one scene where he grabs that pen out of mid-air gets me every time), but to disqualify a film centered around a narrative rather than visual appeal because of some of its visual effects is kind of weird. I think 2010 captures the characters in the novel so well, and as other people have mentioned, the final 20 minutes of the movie have moved me to tears before. It's such a relevant exploration of how a character painted as a villain can quickly turn into one deserving of sympathy, and that as humans we believe that, if we create something that is "perfect", then its failures are not our own fault. Regardless, it makes me happy to see 2001 and 2010 content on my recommended page- I initially watched the film because of a fan-made music video for a song I love. Even though I don't agree with some of your points, cool video :)

If I ever had the money, which I probably never will, I would buy the rights to and try my best to write a worthy screenplay for 2061 (the first of two more sequel books that weren't made into movies), and ask Christopher Nolan to revise and direct it. 2001 is, and will always be, one of the best movies ever made, but I also LOVE 2010! Please watch this movie, it is so worth it!

Good movie. A little flawed even without comparisons to 2001. A little clunky, some awkward dialogue, as well as some clumsy expository dialogue, such as when we hear Floyd speaking in the form of a "letter" to his wife or when his kid is asking questions at the breakfast table to explain the Floyd family backstory to the audience. The effects are spectacular on the big screen - it won an Oscar for it. All in all, I agree with Ebert - it's a very well done space opera and a good movie, just as long as you're not looking for more of Kubrick's 2001. Hyams is a good director and his film before 2010, "Outland" -essentially "High Noon" in a science fiction setting, is excellent.
