    Some questions are answered...

    '2010' sets out to reveal the answers to many things we have been wondering after watching '2001 A Space Odyssey' and does a nice job although not in quite such a 'classic cinema' way as the first story.

    It's nearly a decade since the strange goings on near Jupiter. The US and the Russians decide to forget their differences to go and find out what happened to Dave Bowman, Hal, and crew..plus, there are new developments of a larger scale to investigate...

    Good performances all round here apart from maybe a couple of dodgy Russian accents from British actors!

    If you enjoyed '2001' and were left wondering afterwards, this film is for you.

    Way Better....

    I watched 2001 and thought that was a load of .... so it was with slight persuasion i decided to watch this. This movie is about 100 times better than 2001. It has actors, an understandable story line, and it kept me interested. I didn't even have to fast forward any part of the movie, unlike 2001. I think someone should use this as a base and remake the first one, even if it is a classic. I'm glad i watched it.
