    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.
