The one thing that made this movie so underappreciated was that it was a sequel to a film directed by the great Stanley Kubrick. Peter Hyams had some enormous shoes to fill. This film is a classic in its own right.
It's utter trash. "It's full of STARs(R)". Boy this was the worst film ever until Gravity cane around. Now Clokney produced 'The Midnight Sky'. It's even worse! WTF!?
@@pcuimac I disagree. I saw this movie before I saw 2001 and was enraptured through all of it. When I finally got around to seeing 2001, I was disappointed that it wasn't more like this one, and that it was much harder to follow. However, I eventually came to appreciate it for what it is.
@@Discrimination_is_not_a_right Yes very different films. 2001 is almost like a 2.5 hour performance art piece, and 2010 has a lot more action and pacing. Both great in their own way.
At first I was a little disappointed. But, having seen it a few more times since then, I've come to appreciate it. It has some nice, tingly moments as well.
If you ever watch 2001 & 2010 back to back, you'll witness a masterpiece. 2010 was an absolutely awesome movie. Did a great job of explaining 2001, and the acting was supreme!
@@cornfilledscreamer614 Too many people want simple, obvious explanations rather than using their intuition and imagination to fill in the blanks in a story.
I agree, however it is dated by the cold war aspects, they should have used China instead of Russia and tried not to include aspects that dated the film - like Kubrick did. It was/is a better story.
@@scottpoerschke8807 there was a 1950's nuclear war film called "On the beach" where China and the U.S went to war. It was remade in 2000. In the 50's a China U.S war was plausible but in 2000 the idea seemed silly. Now the idea seems very plausible again. These world politics things go one way then the other like changes in the wind. I don't think it distracts from the 2010 story.
dont get me wrong 2001 is an absolute masterpiece and classic, but i LOVE 2010 and i find it more rewatchable. and it stirs an enormous well emotions in me.
I was 11!!!!! My dad was a 2001 nut! I remember we saw a trailer for this in the theater and I looked at my dad like..... whaaaaaa? My dad also had no idea that a sequel had been made. Great memory.
genuinely underrated, usually only remember for Jaws & French Connection, both brilliant films, but Blue Thunder and Sorcerer are fantastic too and he's excellent in both
If you enjoyed this film, I highly suggest reading the book. There are some elements there that don't make it into the film. There is also a final bit that propels the reader far into the future for a very interesting reveal.
I agree - 2010 is a great book. it got a bit goofy in the later books with Clark pulling a Duncan Idaho with Dave Bowman. I would like to know where Clark intended to go with the sinister alien plot.
@@theharbinger2573 What was the story with Clark again? Been a while since Iv read them. Edit. I see. Arthur c. Clark lol How do you mean about the aliens? Is it about the message sent back to kill us all. I thought when they mention seeing a star/planet going super nova and the possibility of this being aliens was interesting and I wanted to know more.
Just about all of A.C. Clarks books are incredible... he is a sc-fi legend after all. 2010 the book, is way better then the movie of course, but the movie did a good job adapting the story for the screen. "They became farmers in the fields of stars; they sowed, and sometimes they reaped. And sometimes, dispassionately, they had to weed.” RIP ACC. You are missed.
I think the omitted parts from the book are what stops me from really enjoying this film. They focussed more on the mechanics of getting there and less on the mystery.
Seeing this in the theatre when it came out was an experience. I saw it at a Theatre in Times Square on a Saturday afternoon, and there was a full house. When HAL was reactivated and spoke again there was a great round of applause.. This was a good effort, the visuals were Oscar nominated, great cast, and a good story that moved well. Peter Hyams did a nice job as director, with Kubrick's blessing and while not as monumental as 2001 it makes a worthy companion piece.
The film is utter garbage. Reactivating HAL was scarilege. The scene when the new garbage collector ship came up against the 2001 ship was gold! You could easily see that 2010 was a trash can movie compared to 2001.
As a teen who found home video exciting in the 80s, I enjoyed it plenty on a CRT television screen (very appropriate in this case if you get the reference). I was positively spellbound and chilled by the probe investigating chlorophyll scene and loved the intensity of the aerobraking sequence and the kiss by that doll of a young Russky! Who could forget the panicked breathing of the engineer doing his maiden space walk.
People are basically stupid...learn to live with it. You are correct in your assessment of this film, and it's very good. I always enjoyed Roy Schieder's performances and John Lithgow. Two very good actors.
I saw this in the theater in 1984, and I still have the original VHS. How can you go wrong with Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, and Helen Mirren! This is a very very well done Sequel!
Me too. In one of the old theatres in center city. Soundtrack was intimidating..I remember. good Year. Saw witness and met Harrison ford while shooting on callow hill street..and Beverly hills cop..which stops projecting in middle then resumed after Ten minutes...memories
It always amazes me how when a piece of art that is remarkable on it's own is called forgotten because of an association to something related that was more popular. It's not forgotten. Just not as popular and well known. Thanks for making this just the same. I'm sure there are people out there that wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
Awesome underrated sci-fi movie. Explains why Hal acted the way he did. Only wish they included the Chinese landing on Europa which was in the book as it was an awesome moment.
Actually, this is a movie that I rewatch maybe once or twice a year. It has it's own feeling about it, it has brief moments of humor. A FANTASTIC cast was assembled for this movie, and they deliver.
It's the delivery. Hal's awesome but needs to work on his social queues. I think I MASSIVELY enjoyed Bomb 20, from Dark Star - who's got ridiculous personality and is easily one of the happiest people aboard the Dark Star, although why you would make a thermostellar bomb with an enthusiasm for solipism is my big question - th-cam.com/video/qjGRySVyTDk/w-d-xo.html
I never understand why they dropped the line "Look behind you" in the german dub. When i saw the movie on DVD for the very first time in summer of 2000, being able to see it in it's english original for the first time, i was baffled.
@@DCHurlford1 yeah i may agree but blade runner movie is not 2001 it cannot be it is brilliant as alien for example or some few other nothing to compare to 2001 i hope it can be easily understood as in jazz rock music you have mahavishnu orchestra and the rest or frank zappa and the rest. the rest can be cool fixed hot brilliant but never like those Kubrick is Kubrick as john mclaughlin on gtr clear ?
Something that tends to be overlooked in _2010_ is the character of SAL 9000, the counterpoint to HAL. The actress chosen to voice SAL had a burden of providing a performance to echo that of HAL's without being a simple copy, and as we can see it worked. If you check the credits for SAL 9000 you'll see "Olga Mallsnerd", but that's actually Candice Bergen. (Her father, Edgar Bergen, was a famous ventriloquist, with one of his characters being Mortimer Snerd.)
@@paulberks5609 Yes. Both HAL and SAL needed to sound _like_ a human being yet very paced, methodical, like a machine. Partly due to the time frame in which they were filmed, to convey the expectations of the viewer, but also in the unemotional calculating way required to make HAL's part in the story work. "Nothing personal, Dave, I just need to do these things to fulfill the mission objectives." That's something I was glad they were able to explain in _2010,_ the why behind HAL's actions.
I saw 2010 first. I always adored it. I thought the tone was closer to Clarke's writing (much less metaphorical and visual than 2001) which some people _really_ dislike. I thought the film had a fantastic atmosphere that really pulled on my young imagination.
HALs self sacrifice was one of the most moving movie scenes I have ever watched. I didn't see a computer coming to a logical conclusion, I saw a sentient being making a choice for the benefit of other sentient beings. I don't mind admitting that it brought a silent tear to my eye.
Ditto , the childlike Hal asking 'Will I dream'(is there life for me after death) , was a profoundly moving existential statement. Is this all that I am or is there more?
@@sillyone52062 Dr Chandra had used what he termed a 'tapeworm' to erase HALS memory of those events in order to allow him to function again. I suspect that HAL had no awareness of such deeds at the time.
The scenes between Bob Balaban and HAL still give me a lump in the throat, as do the scenes with Bowman and HAL. Superb film....in fact, you got me, going to watch the Blu-Ray now! !!
The original film 2001- A Space Odyssey was based on a short story "The Sentinel", written by A.C.C. many years before. He re-wrote and expanded it for the film. 2010 was a long-awaited sequel, and was definitely worth the wait.
Beautifully made visuals, you can see the craft behind this picture. The actors are really good too. The whole film gives me such a warm and adventurous feeling. 🙂☺
I'm of that small minority of people that prefer 2010 to 2001. I think this is one of the best science fiction masterpieces of all time, in a small circle of near perfect greats that includes Contact and the Martian. Hopeful, Hard sci-fi. Gravity and Interstellar would be lesser (but still good!) entries on this list.
Same. I like 2001 but the first 15 and last 15 minutes are more trippy than entertaining. That said the middle part on the Discovery is very good. But 2010's the good one for me. I saw it as a child and even though I hadn't seen 2001 the intro does a great job of summarizing the first movie. It's just a great movie all around. "Will I dream?" is such a gut punch of a line from Hal.
Same, Kier Duella was a great lead utterly wasted by meaningless filler scenes with nothing happening in 2001. Heywod bought a much needed human element to the sequel.
Excellent promotional piece. Nicely assembled. One of my favorite movies. I missed hearing John Lithow scream "It's shrinking! IT'S SHRINKING!" and then Floyd yelling, "Grab something! NOW!"
Absolutely stunning work! Well done! I dare say I'm a little misty-eyed right now. This fantastic short montage gave me what we all need right now: Hope. Thank you.
1:52 How the hell was there a pod in the pod-bay room? One was lost when HAL killed Frank. One was lost when Dave entered through the emergency entrance. And the third one was lost going through the star gate. Plus after 10 years Space Station V was not yet completed? Looked just like it did in 2001.
Hugely underrated movie! Hyams deserves a lot of credit and showed massive guts for taking this on. Who would have wanted to take this on after Kubrick's masterpiece? It no doubt helped immensely having Clarke around for advice but still.....Hyams delivered! Well written, directed, and acted with some fantastic SFX.
Never thought I would see an edit so good. I watched the movie once as a teenager in 2002. I remember key details for sure and other stuff time just took away but my opinion is that the pacing and some key elements are just plain wrong. Fortunately this edit fixed everything and gave me goosebumps. Will make my wife watch it. She won’t like that much I know. I can’t consider 2001 hard sci fi as 2010 is and people who isn’t into sci-fi just tend to say nah to these movies.
And that is what level 4 on the Kardashev scale society looks like. There is nothing past a level 4, they are intergalactic, immortal and the closest thing a finite being came All Powerful. To us humans they were appear as gods.
This is beautifully edited. I found 2010 deeply moving when it came out, a time when our culture was steeped in cold war anxieties and legitimately-based fears of a nuclear conflict.
@@rickc2102 Any time I watch this movie, it brings back memories of that time. I was in High School. 1984 was such a great time for me! I miss the 80's and the movies that came out then!
I saw this in a packed theater on its opening weekend. The crowd was engaged and responsive, invested in the story. It was an amazing film and a worthy successor to Kubrick's masterpiece. For some reason I always recall the scene where the ghost of Bowman is brushing his elderly mother's hair. Or perhaps it was his wife, I cant remember. And also, the scene where HAL asks if he will dream. The FX were great for the era it was made. Definitely in my all time top 25.
I remember reading the book my freshman year in college, one weekend in February when we were all snowed in the dorm during a blizzard. The movie was great!
As an addendum to my post of two years ago, the impressive (by 1984 standards) laptop that Roy Scheider is seen using wasn't a prop. It was a real working prototype developed by Apple. Amazing how far ahead of the game they were even then, although I can't vouch for the battery life!
It was a commercially released product--an Apple IIc with a flat-panel display that was sold separately (I was unclear on whether the flat panel got a commercial release or was just a prototype, but apparently they did sell some). The IIc didn't have an internal battery at all, it was intended as a portable desktop computer, but you could buy third-party external packs.
@@kennieg I remember him using it on a beach. I know LCD portables did exist back then as the Husky was taken aboard the space shuttle around that time , but nothing as sophisticated as the one we see in the film.
I remember watching this as a teenager, and I was enthralled by it. A fitting sequel to 2001, and there's a real parallel with the tensions between the United States and what in the movie is still the USSR with America and Russia in reality today. The design of the Soviet ship, the Leonov, is really impressive and I wonder if something like it would be plausible. I have to watch this again.
The problem is, making quality scifi is expensive, but studios don't take risks with expensive movies, they rather aim them at the intelligence level of general idiots. Best we can hope for is hbo miniseries adaptations when quality cgi becomes cheap enough.
You needed to see this in a theater. IMAX would have been awesome. The high quality of actors was fantastic 2061 with 3001 should have been done. The rumor was Tom Hanks was involved in a research effort to get this made.
I've seen this twice: once either when it came out or on video. And again about 10 years ago from Netflix DVD in the mail. I don't know if I'd pay to see it if it returned to theaters for an anniversary or something, like I did _Aliens._
@Sandal_Thong Loved Aliens but needed to see the Directors cut on ABC Sunday night movie to see whole thing an extra 17 minutes. It gives the whole story and a scene chopped out that was needed in the time-line
@@richardmckinnon8791 Right. I was hoping to see the Laserdisc version of _Aliens_ again with the extra scenes, so it was a bit of a letdown. Still, it did have a lot of great lines that I had in my memory that I wasn't entirely sure came from that movie.
i read both 2001 and 2010, and the two extras to that awesome story, i strongly recomend to read them all, and then the ones from the chinese author Liu Cixin, talking about aliens in those terms, is amazing, and somewhat scary, but, we have to think into those themes.
I was 16 the first time I saw both 2001 and 2010. I was browsing the sci-if aisle and the titles just called me. I am so glad they did. I watch both regularly and always recommend them. Nothing really compares. They are a big part of my life and a huge influence on my art and writing.
If you ever get the chance, try to see 2001 in an IMAX theater. I don't say this lightly, it is a religious experience. I've seen the film maybe 2 dozen timesor more on everything from a 13" black and white TV i had when I was a kid, to a 70" big screen to a full movie theater screen, and nothing - nothing - compares to seeing it on IMAX.
I saw 2010 in 1985 when a theatre in my town was re-opened, I was overwhelmingly impacted by such an idea of a whole planet transformed into a sun by a superior intelligence. Years later in 1989, I rented 2001, so that was the first time I watched it. Today I got both in blu-ray, those are my most appreciated jewels
Having only just recently read the novel, i have to say that im even more impressed with the film. It doesn't try to retread the exact same story as the book, but instead takes the same basic premise...and builds its own themes and story around it. IMO this allows it to stand on its own merits independent of the written material. In this way i feel that 2010 TYWMC succeeds for the same reasons as the film adaptation of The Hunt for Red October. Its a shame that 2010 had such big shoes to fill. If it were a stand alone film it would likely be hailed as a great sci-fi classic. Unfortunately, because it could not match the artistic scope of its predecessor, it has been relegated to the status of underrated footnote. A shame, as its a favorite of mine
This popped up in my recommendations and I was:"Wait, they made more of 2010?" Then I realized you meant that the 2010 movie somehow was forgotten... You live in another reality than mine... :)
An excellent film which I have seen on a number of occasions, I recall the red colour always used to bleed badly on VHS ! This is a minor classic in the dark deep shadow of a masterpiece. Well worth checking out - and remember its back to the days of the Cold Wars people.....
Hal had the most comfortable voice I ever heard in my whole life probably forever, i tried to find the actor voice if he might done some audiobooks but nothing!.
I haven't forgotten it. Have seen multiple times. Not 2001 and, wisely, producers and director didn't want to attempt a 'sequel' of sorts to upstage it. But, as a 'stand alone' it's a good movie. Good cast.
We could use a good look at this movie again....every world leader should watch this...we are so small....and yet we seem to be teetering now on a cliff we swore we would stay far away from....
Scheider is a great actor, but not for this film. Kubrick had it right when he used nobodies in the first film. He didn't want actors to distract from the story. Hyams needed big names to fill seats, so...
This is a great film in its own right. It addresses all of the ideas in 2001 and moves the story forward with a fascinating conclusion. Well acted and directed, this film deserves a lot of love from the sci-fi communities. I have always held it in great regard. It was definitely of its time, drawing on the political narrative of the 80's, but I think its well handled. Great to see it getting some mention now. Well worth a watch!
This movie is up in the top 3 of my favourite sci-fi movies.. And since I watched it, every time I'm the first to pull away from the traffic lights I always think to myself.. "ignition, full thrust" 😂
Actually this is a rather good film and the storyline makes perfect sense, tying up a lot of loose ends. The effects still look really good for a film made in 1984, there's a young Helen Mirren in it, the director went to a lot of effort to recreate the ship from the original film and you get to see one of the first ever modern looking laptop computers years before most people saw them.
@@trevorbrown6654 So I went and looked this one up. The Apple IIc was released April 24 1984. The film came out December 7 1984. In the film the IIc could have been a prototype. It did have the short lived small LCD screen attached to it. Not sure when filming took place, so it might have been a prototype, but it basically looked exactly like the IIc that was released.
My god... goosebumps!! I know and loved this amazing movie since my earliest childhood (was the first Hyams i ever watched) and this abridged cut really REALLY does an amazing job both explaining what it's about and also making you wanna watch the movie. Back then i saw "2010" before i watched "2001" and was always curious about what happened prior to the events of "2010". Two very different movies and they yet belong together. It still is an absolutely masterful sequel. Still worth watching.
I remember this flick. Solid movie. It could never be as good as 2001 but it was still a great movie. It was a blast to see sets from 2001 being used in 2010.
For the kids who weren’t there; When this movie was made..2010 was In the future! . When I was a kid, 2001 was so far in the future, people couldn’t imagine living long enough to see it. . The Soviet Union still existed. By 2010… it was gone. . This was the first movie in which we heard Morgan Freeman’s voice used. Even though he played a character talking on a computer. His voice sounded good. Which led to him being used in voiceovers… which we will all remember him for. . That pansy Doctor guy played a role for which he will play for ever after. He kind of played it firstly in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Which is why he was cast in this. . Roy Schneider again playing the guy who knows what’s up… but nobody will listen too. . The Russians all seem very familiar. . John Lithgow gets excited and yells. It’s his thing. . I enjoyed it.
There was a scene in this movie where Dr Floyd sits on a beach with a laptop (Apple IIe I think) and sends messages without any visible connection. In 1984, that was sci-fi.
J'ai vu ce film seul en 1987 dans une des 2 salles de cinéma de Cholet (49). expérience totalement mystique pour le Cosmologiste de quintessence que je suis depuis ma naissance. bien sur 2001 (1968) est le film de science fiction de référence néanmoins.
it's nice to see someone show this much love for 2010. it's a sequel to Clarke's version of 2001, which is a very interesting idea, and the only way to do a sequel to 2001 properly was to make it a wildly different kind of movie. I love both, but if i were to pull one of them out to watch right now it would be 2010.
Continuity-wise, it's in an odd place. In a sense, it's a sequel to a version of "2001" that never existed: one whose broad plot details (the location of the big monolith, the design of the ship, the struggle between Dave and HAL) are more in line with Kubrick's film, but which in tone and intent is more like Clarke's novel. That "2001" is the novelization Clarke would have written if he'd given his book one more rewrite after the movie was complete. And in the novel of "2010" you can see him actually doing some bits of that rewrite.
I would have been 7 when I saw this in the cinema. My mother took me in the train to see it in Belfast. I bought the magazine that came with it, I don’t think they do that for movies anymore. It had a profound effect on me, and I still get goosebumps even when I see clips from it. Thank you for producing this and posting.
Tony Banks, the keyboardist of the band Genesis, was originally hired to create music for this movie. They changed their minds as time went on, but he has since recorded the music he made for it.
@@shepardbook I saw it on Amazon a while ago on CD. Don't know if it's available anywhere else. Haven't heard it myself. Maybe I should. Tony definitely has the chops for orchestral arrangements.
...I remember reading the next book in the series....the Monolith's creators decided that humanity was too violent, and orders the Monolith to kill off humanity. The virtual HAL program (internalized within the Monolith) helps upload a computer virus to destroy the Monolith before it can complete it's instructions.
@@huskerjpg so the reactionary president who quotes Lincoln while having his finger ON the button (but at least treating his cabinet ro a decent lunch) they used ACC for that guy's face? Now I really have to re-watch 2010.
I seriously doubt it. Maybe middle aged and older people (I'm 45 myself), but younger ones probably not. To be clear: I wish it were otherwise. It's deserves a wider audience.
It wasn’t until I read the books that I even thought to look for a sequel. Even then I bought the last second hand copy off an obscure seller on Amazon. It’s very good.
This is one of my favorite Top 10 movies of all time 💯💯 I love this movie it’s an amazing sequel and it wasn’t tryna be 2001 it was its own movie and it complimented Stanley Kubricks 2001 to completely different films but it’s good in its own right very underrated and unappreciated film. 2001 series is my favorite Sci Fi
I loved 2001: A Space Odyssey, both the book and the film. Probably my favorite science fiction of all time. Both the book and the film 2010 were worthy sequels to those great works.
As much as 2001 was visually stunning (even today), it was based around a short story. When I re-watch it, I skip most of the ape scenes and the stargate scenes as I felt they were just padding out the film too much. 2010 by comparison was a full length story with a lot of concepts to get over and a sharp comment about the US/Soviet relationships of the era. 2010 is very much an underrated classic.
2010 was better than 2001 in my opinion. It had so much character and flair and love and hardship and toil and it was so uniquely HUMAN. It was like 2001 matured and grew a personality.
2001 is like HAL; slow, monotonous, drawn out, borderline impossible to comprehend, yet a timeless classic. 2010 is like the human _talking to HAL;_ emotional, fearful of what might happen, and making sense of the situation at hand.
Just watched this yesterday, it makes the first one a bit less scary since we understand the motivations of the aliens better but I feel like it does a good job expanding alot of the mysteries and doesn’t try giving us answers.
For me, this was never a forgotten sequel, I remember seeing it at the cinema, I also remember buying it on DVD (one of my first) & also as 1080P HD digital download. A very very underated film.
"It is important that you believe me. Look behind you." Gives me goosebumps every time!! The best line in the whole movie, and they cut it out of this clip. 🙁

Better in my opinion, less meaningless filler.

genuinely underrated, usually only remember for Jaws & French Connection, both brilliant films, but Blue Thunder and Sorcerer are fantastic too and he's excellent in both
If you enjoyed this film, I highly suggest reading the book. There are some elements there that don't make it into the film. There is also a final bit that propels the reader far into the future for a very interesting reveal.
I agree - 2010 is a great book. it got a bit goofy in the later books with Clark pulling a Duncan Idaho with Dave Bowman. I would like to know where Clark intended to go with the sinister alien plot.
@@theharbinger2573
What was the story with Clark again? Been a while since Iv read them.
Edit. I see. Arthur c. Clark lol
How do you mean about the aliens? Is it about the message sent back to kill us all.
I thought when they mention seeing a star/planet going super nova and the possibility of this being aliens was interesting and I wanted to know more.
I read the book as a kid.. got about 4/5 done.. I wish the Chinese side-story was in the film..that I was disappointed..
Just about all of A.C. Clarks books are incredible... he is a sc-fi legend after all. 2010 the book, is way better then the movie of course, but the movie did a good job adapting the story for the screen. "They became farmers in the fields of stars; they sowed, and sometimes they reaped. And sometimes, dispassionately, they had to weed.” RIP ACC. You are missed.
I think the omitted parts from the book are what stops me from really enjoying this film. They focussed more on the mechanics of getting there and less on the mystery.
Seeing this in the theatre when it came out was an experience. I saw it at a Theatre in Times Square on a Saturday afternoon, and there was a full house. When HAL was reactivated and spoke again there was a great round of applause.. This was a good effort, the visuals were Oscar nominated, great cast, and a good story that moved well. Peter Hyams did a nice job as director, with Kubrick's blessing and while not as monumental as 2001 it makes a worthy companion piece.
Peter should have made it in one of the legendary British studios where the best quality sci fi is traditionally made.
@@jamesfrench7299 Hard to argue with that, some of the absolute best science fiction came from British studios.
The film is utter garbage. Reactivating HAL was scarilege. The scene when the new garbage collector ship came up against the 2001 ship was gold! You could easily see that 2010 was a trash can movie compared to 2001.
I'd pay good money to see this in a theater! I grew up on this movie, never seen it on a big screen. An absolute masterpiece, in my opinion.
As a teen who found home video exciting in the 80s, I enjoyed it plenty on a CRT television screen (very appropriate in this case if you get the reference).
I was positively spellbound and chilled by the probe investigating chlorophyll scene and loved the intensity of the aerobraking sequence and the kiss by that doll of a young Russky!
Who could forget the panicked breathing of the engineer doing his maiden space walk.
In 1985 as a kid, I remember a small theater saying 2010 on marquis. In 2010, I frequented that same theater as an adult.
Great movie. It's a shame so many feel the need to directly compare it to 2001. It complimentary to 2001, not a REMAKE.
People are basically stupid...learn to live with it. You are correct in your assessment of this film, and it's very good. I always enjoyed Roy Schieder's performances and John Lithgow. Two very good actors.
I have never forgotten this film. I've loved it since it first came out. I've seen it about 50 times. It's in my top ten movies of all time.
I've seen it so many times, that my name should be in the ending credits
I saw this in the theater in 1984, and I still have the original VHS. How can you go wrong with Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, and Helen Mirren! This is a very very well done Sequel!
Me too. In one of the old theatres in center city. Soundtrack was intimidating..I remember. good Year. Saw witness and met Harrison ford while shooting on callow hill street..and Beverly hills cop..which stops projecting in middle then resumed after Ten minutes...memories
easy to go wrong with lithgow hes a buffoon
It always amazes me how when a piece of art that is remarkable on it's own is called forgotten because of an association to something related that was more popular. It's not forgotten. Just not as popular and well known. Thanks for making this just the same. I'm sure there are people out there that wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together. Use them in peace.
I remember getting all watery eyed upon seeing those words, isn't it strange how things like that can effect you!
I just wonder how long before someone had a quick look ....
Goosebumps everytime
Earthlings would be like my younger brother: "I'm not on your moon. I'm just orbiting it..."
Humans: attempt multiple landings anyway.
The scene, “turn around”, that always got me.
Awesome underrated sci-fi movie. Explains why Hal acted the way he did.
Only wish they included the Chinese landing on Europa which was in the book as it was an awesome moment.
It wound have been great to see this scene.
I want that also..
I'm afraid it would screw the pacing, though subplot was badass.
Actually, this is a movie that I rewatch maybe once or twice a year. It has it's own feeling about it, it has brief moments of humor. A FANTASTIC cast was assembled for this movie, and they deliver.
There's a moment when HAL says "look behind you" or something like that to Dr Floyd. Still gives me the creeps! A hugely underrated film.
It's the delivery. Hal's awesome but needs to work on his social queues. I think I MASSIVELY enjoyed Bomb 20, from Dark Star - who's got ridiculous personality and is easily one of the happiest people aboard the Dark Star, although why you would make a thermostellar bomb with an enthusiasm for solipism is my big question - th-cam.com/video/qjGRySVyTDk/w-d-xo.html
Same! That moment always gave me chills!
Same here.
I never understand why they dropped the line "Look behind you" in the german dub. When i saw the movie on DVD for the very first time in summer of 2000, being able to see it in it's english original for the first time, i was baffled.
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 Scariest part in the whole movie!
one of the best sequels ever made.
Better than Tron Legacy?
@@cloudstreets1396 legacy is as good as the 1st one with same narrative weirdo and not a movie for all not so simple to approach
This and Blade Runner 2049 were two outstanding follow ups to classic originals.
@@DCHurlford1 yeah i may agree but blade runner movie is not 2001 it cannot be it is brilliant as alien for example or some few other nothing to compare to 2001 i hope it can be easily understood as in jazz rock music you have mahavishnu orchestra and the rest or frank zappa and the rest. the rest can be cool fixed hot brilliant but never like those Kubrick is Kubrick as john mclaughlin on gtr clear ?
@@cloudstreets1396 tron legacy is a tech demo with no plot and characters
Something that tends to be overlooked in _2010_ is the character of SAL 9000, the counterpoint to HAL. The actress chosen to voice SAL had a burden of providing a performance to echo that of HAL's without being a simple copy, and as we can see it worked. If you check the credits for SAL 9000 you'll see "Olga Mallsnerd", but that's actually Candice Bergen. (Her father, Edgar Bergen, was a famous ventriloquist, with one of his characters being Mortimer Snerd.)
I loved SAL's soothing voice.
@@paulberks5609 Yes. Both HAL and SAL needed to sound _like_ a human being yet very paced, methodical, like a machine. Partly due to the time frame in which they were filmed, to convey the expectations of the viewer, but also in the unemotional calculating way required to make HAL's part in the story work. "Nothing personal, Dave, I just need to do these things to fulfill the mission objectives." That's something I was glad they were able to explain in _2010,_ the why behind HAL's actions.
I remember Mortimer.
A depiction of a panic atack in space gave this film an extra layer of unexpected realism.
This movie was good enough to be it's own story instead of a sequel. Love it still.
"my god its full of star" goosebumps!
I could listen to that on a loop all day. It rings different each time-chills, awe, deal, wonder, dread, hope. Brilliant.
I saw 2010 first. I always adored it. I thought the tone was closer to Clarke's writing (much less metaphorical and visual than 2001) which some people _really_ dislike. I thought the film had a fantastic atmosphere that really pulled on my young imagination.
HALs self sacrifice was one of the most moving movie scenes I have ever watched. I didn't see a computer coming to a logical conclusion, I saw a sentient being making a choice for the benefit of other sentient beings. I don't mind admitting that it brought a silent tear to my eye.
on this path you may also consider picard TNG season 1 finale i refer to last meet between picard and commander data
@@XanAxDdu Oh, I teared up at that.
Ditto , the childlike Hal asking 'Will I dream'(is there life for me after death) , was a profoundly moving existential statement. Is this all that I am or is there more?
I saw it as HAL making amends for his misdeeds.
@@sillyone52062 Dr Chandra had used what he termed a 'tapeworm' to erase HALS memory of those events in order to allow him to function again. I suspect that HAL had no awareness of such deeds at the time.
The scenes between Bob Balaban and HAL still give me a lump in the throat, as do the scenes with Bowman and HAL. Superb film....in fact, you got me, going to watch the Blu-Ray now! !!
The original film 2001- A Space Odyssey was based on a short story "The Sentinel", written by A.C.C. many years before. He re-wrote and expanded it for the film. 2010 was a long-awaited sequel, and was definitely worth the wait.
Beautifully made visuals, you can see the craft behind this picture. The actors are really good too. The whole film gives me such a warm and adventurous feeling. 🙂☺
"my god its full of stars" 1:18 is SOO creepy to me. really terrifying i dont know why. its so vague and the way he says it. nightmare fuel to me haha
I'm of that small minority of people that prefer 2010 to 2001. I think this is one of the best science fiction masterpieces of all time, in a small circle of near perfect greats that includes Contact and the Martian. Hopeful, Hard sci-fi. Gravity and Interstellar would be lesser (but still good!) entries on this list.
i am one of those people. I certainly enjoy 2010 more than 2001
Same. I like 2001 but the first 15 and last 15 minutes are more trippy than entertaining. That said the middle part on the Discovery is very good. But 2010's the good one for me. I saw it as a child and even though I hadn't seen 2001 the intro does a great job of summarizing the first movie. It's just a great movie all around.
"Will I dream?" is such a gut punch of a line from Hal.
@@Argumemnon Such a great line!! Such a great movie!!1
You're not alone.
Same, Kier Duella was a great lead utterly wasted by meaningless filler scenes with nothing happening in 2001. Heywod bought a much needed human element to the sequel.
Excellent promotional piece. Nicely assembled. One of my favorite movies. I missed hearing John Lithow scream "It's shrinking! IT'S SHRINKING!" and then Floyd yelling, "Grab something! NOW!"
Absolutely stunning work! Well done! I dare say I'm a little misty-eyed right now. This fantastic short montage gave me what we all need right now: Hope. Thank you.
1:52
How the hell was there a pod in the pod-bay room?
One was lost when HAL killed Frank.
One was lost when Dave entered through the emergency entrance.
And the third one was lost going through the star gate.
Plus after 10 years Space Station V was not yet completed? Looked just like it did in 2001.
2010 is a great movie! i've watched it tons of times.
Hugely underrated movie! Hyams deserves a lot of credit and showed massive guts for taking this on. Who would have wanted to take this on after Kubrick's masterpiece? It no doubt helped immensely having Clarke around for advice but still.....Hyams delivered! Well written, directed, and acted with some fantastic SFX.
Pretty sure that the person on the left at 1:30 feeding the birds is Authur C. Clarke.
Never forgotten!! I watch 2001 then 2010 at least once a month!
Never thought I would see an edit so good.
I watched the movie once as a teenager in 2002. I remember key details for sure and other stuff time just took away but my opinion is that the pacing and some key elements are just plain wrong.
Fortunately this edit fixed everything and gave me goosebumps.
Will make my wife watch it. She won’t like that much I know. I can’t consider 2001 hard sci fi as 2010 is and people who isn’t into sci-fi just tend to say nah to these movies.
And that is what level 4 on the Kardashev scale society looks like. There is nothing past a level 4, they are intergalactic, immortal and the closest thing a finite being came All Powerful. To us humans they were appear as gods.
This is beautifully edited. I found 2010 deeply moving when it came out, a time when our culture was steeped in cold war anxieties and legitimately-based fears of a nuclear conflict.
Fascinating that Clarke thought that the USSR would still be a country and a threat by 2010, showing that even visionaries cannot imagine everything!
@@davidpartridge8484 what soviet country was is still not solved by history it seems to be today.... may we say it is a conflictual country
Still love this movie! Wonderfully made, fantastic acting, and superb special FX! One of the best sequels made.
And the first laptop computer, and the Ford Probe IV, and Roy Goddamn Scheider.
@@rickc2102 Any time I watch this movie, it brings back memories of that time. I was in High School. 1984 was such a great time for me! I miss the 80's and the movies that came out then!
I saw this in a packed theater on its opening weekend. The crowd was engaged and responsive, invested in the story. It was an amazing film and a worthy successor to Kubrick's masterpiece.
For some reason I always recall the scene where the ghost of Bowman is brushing his elderly mother's hair. Or perhaps it was his wife, I cant remember. And also, the scene where HAL asks if he will dream. The FX were great for the era it was made. Definitely in my all time top 25.
My God. It's full of stars!
Watch Glass Onion. There is a moment when… 😉
I remember reading the book my freshman year in college, one weekend in February when we were all snowed in the dorm during a blizzard. The movie was great!
You can really see what inspired the design of Babylon 5's omega class destroyers.
Agamemnon
Very true, I remember seeing them in B5 & shouting " HEY, 2010" at the tv.
Awwww Babylon 5. Best space opera EVER.... I even bought the model space ships.

1:29 The man sitting on the bench on the far left of the frame is none other than Arthur C. Clarke.
As an addendum to my post of two years ago, the impressive (by 1984 standards) laptop that Roy Scheider is seen using wasn't a prop. It was a real working prototype developed by Apple. Amazing how far ahead of the game they were even then, although I can't vouch for the battery life!
It was a commercially released product--an Apple IIc with a flat-panel display that was sold separately (I was unclear on whether the flat panel got a commercial release or was just a prototype, but apparently they did sell some). The IIc didn't have an internal battery at all, it was intended as a portable desktop computer, but you could buy third-party external packs.
As I recall, in the film it could also communicate wirelessly- years before WiFi was a thing.
@@kennieg I remember him using it on a beach. I know LCD portables did exist back then as the Husky was taken aboard the space shuttle around that time , but nothing as sophisticated as the one we see in the film.
Read a bit more, GUI and mouse's and portrait displays were there before DOS.
I remember watching this as a teenager, and I was enthralled by it. A fitting sequel to 2001, and there's a real parallel with the tensions between the United States and what in the movie is still the USSR with America and Russia in reality today. The design of the Soviet ship, the Leonov, is really impressive and I wonder if something like it would be plausible. I have to watch this again.
I've never forgotten this. One of my favorite sci-fi movies as a kid.
WOW! It makes me want to see this movie, which is something since I've already seen it like a hundred times! Amazing!
There's a TON of great Clarke novels that should be made into movies.
The Fountains of Paradise, the Rama series, Childhoods End and A Fall of Moondust would be my picks.
it’s only a matter of time. They WILL get made
Villeneuve is making Rama
Songs of Distant Earth
The problem is, making quality scifi is expensive, but studios don't take risks with expensive movies, they rather aim them at the intelligence level of general idiots. Best we can hope for is hbo miniseries adaptations when quality cgi becomes cheap enough.
This reminder just reduced me to tears. I must see the whole thing again immeidately!
You needed to see this in a theater. IMAX would have been awesome. The high quality of actors was fantastic 2061 with 3001 should have been done. The rumor was Tom Hanks was involved in a research effort to get this made.
He was indeed...!
I've seen this twice: once either when it came out or on video. And again about 10 years ago from Netflix DVD in the mail. I don't know if I'd pay to see it if it returned to theaters for an anniversary or something, like I did _Aliens._
@Sandal_Thong Loved Aliens but needed to see the Directors cut on ABC Sunday night movie to see whole thing an extra 17 minutes. It gives the whole story and a scene chopped out that was needed in the time-line
@@richardmckinnon8791 Right. I was hoping to see the Laserdisc version of _Aliens_ again with the extra scenes, so it was a bit of a letdown. Still, it did have a lot of great lines that I had in my memory that I wasn't entirely sure came from that movie.
i read both 2001 and 2010, and the two extras to that awesome story, i strongly recomend to read them all, and then the ones from the chinese author Liu Cixin, talking about aliens in those terms, is amazing, and somewhat scary, but, we have to think into those themes.
I was 16 the first time I saw both 2001 and 2010. I was browsing the sci-if aisle and the titles just called me. I am so glad they did. I watch both regularly and always recommend them. Nothing really compares. They are a big part of my life and a huge influence on my art and writing.
If you ever get the chance, try to see 2001 in an IMAX theater. I don't say this lightly, it is a religious experience.
I've seen the film maybe 2 dozen timesor more on everything from a 13" black and white TV i had when I was a kid, to a 70" big screen to a full movie theater screen, and nothing - nothing - compares to seeing it on IMAX.
I saw 2010 in 1985 when a theatre in my town was re-opened, I was overwhelmingly impacted by such an idea of a whole planet transformed into a sun by a superior intelligence. Years later in 1989, I rented 2001, so that was the first time I watched it. Today I got both in blu-ray, those are my most appreciated jewels
Having only just recently read the novel, i have to say that im even more impressed with the film. It doesn't try to retread the exact same story as the book, but instead takes the same basic premise...and builds its own themes and story around it.
IMO this allows it to stand on its own merits independent of the written material. In this way i feel that 2010 TYWMC succeeds for the same reasons as the film adaptation of The Hunt for Red October.
Its a shame that 2010 had such big shoes to fill. If it were a stand alone film it would likely be hailed as a great sci-fi classic. Unfortunately, because it could not match the artistic scope of its predecessor, it has been relegated to the status of underrated footnote. A shame, as its a favorite of mine
Man on the bench feeding pigeons in front of The White House, early in this clip, is Arthur C Clarke
This popped up in my recommendations and I was:"Wait, they made more of 2010?" Then I realized you meant that the 2010 movie somehow was forgotten... You live in another reality than mine... :)
An excellent film which I have seen on a number of occasions, I recall the red colour always used to bleed badly on VHS ! This is a minor classic in the dark deep shadow of a masterpiece. Well worth checking out - and remember its back to the days of the Cold Wars people.....
Ive never heard of this, that is sad... Thank you
There are actually four books.
The last two remain unfilmed: 2061 and 3001
I saw this in a Theater, I remember the Breaking sequence was so loud the screen cover on the Speaker fell off. New Jersey
Was waiting in the lobby in a line for this movie's next showing, and when the scene where the Odyssey's rockets are started the whole lobby shook.
Hal had the most comfortable voice I ever heard in my whole life probably forever, i tried to find the actor voice if he might done some audiobooks but nothing!.
Holy shit, this looks great. It's so forgotten, I didn't even know it existed.
I haven't forgotten it. Have seen multiple times. Not 2001 and, wisely, producers and director didn't want to attempt a 'sequel' of sorts to upstage it. But, as a 'stand alone' it's a good movie. Good cast.
2010 is a masterpiece both in story telling and movie making. The intricate plot is intriguing and accessible.
We could use a good look at this movie again....every world leader should watch this...we are so small....and yet we seem to be teetering now on a cliff we swore we would stay far away from....
I was always a fan of Roy Schneider.
Scheider, not Schneider.
@@Scuba72Chris Thanks
Helen Mirren as a Russian. 😊
@Philip Gomez Oh, that's why she was so good at russian in the movie.
Scheider is a great actor, but not for this film. Kubrick had it right when he used nobodies in the first film. He didn't want actors to distract from the story. Hyams needed big names to fill seats, so...
I love the BOOMs. Every one of them. Somehow gets the scale and importance of how big this all would be better than just the scenes themselves.
This is a great film in its own right. It addresses all of the ideas in 2001 and moves the story forward with a fascinating conclusion. Well acted and directed, this film deserves a lot of love from the sci-fi communities. I have always held it in great regard. It was definitely of its time, drawing on the political narrative of the 80's, but I think its well handled. Great to see it getting some mention now. Well worth a watch!
1:30 Cameo appearance by Arthur C Clarke, feeding the birds at left.
I remember seeing the miniatures on the MGM lot when they were shooting it.
The Russian ship miniature was part of the studio tour when I went there.
This movie is up in the top 3 of my favourite sci-fi movies.. And since I watched it, every time I'm the first to pull away from the traffic lights I always think to myself.. "ignition, full thrust" 😂
Actually this is a rather good film and the storyline makes perfect sense, tying up a lot of loose ends. The effects still look really good for a film made in 1984, there's a young Helen Mirren in it, the director went to a lot of effort to recreate the ship from the original film and you get to see one of the first ever modern looking laptop computers years before most people saw them.
The Apple IIc.
@@deckard2665 It must have been an experimental model as I don't think anyone had seen one that looks like that before.
@@trevorbrown6654 So I went and looked this one up. The Apple IIc was released April 24 1984. The film came out December 7 1984. In the film the IIc could have been a prototype. It did have the short lived small LCD screen attached to it. Not sure when filming took place, so it might have been a prototype, but it basically looked exactly like the IIc that was released.
@@deckard2665 I'm surprised that it was available that far back. Shows how far ahead of the curve apple were

My god... goosebumps!! I know and loved this amazing movie since my earliest childhood (was the first Hyams i ever watched) and this abridged cut really REALLY does an amazing job both explaining what it's about and also making you wanna watch the movie. Back then i saw "2010" before i watched "2001" and was always curious about what happened prior to the events of "2010". Two very different movies and they yet belong together. It still is an absolutely masterful sequel. Still worth watching.
I remember this flick. Solid movie. It could never be as good as 2001 but it was still a great movie. It was a blast to see sets from 2001 being used in 2010.
I wish someone had finished the story and made movies on the rest of the series, 2061 and 3001, not to mention Rendezvous with Rama.
Rendez vous with Rama was a project with David Fincher and Morgan Freeman
For the kids who weren’t there;
When this movie was made..2010 was In the future!
.
When I was a kid, 2001 was so far in the future, people couldn’t imagine living long enough to see it.
.
The Soviet Union still existed. By 2010… it was gone.
.
This was the first movie in which we heard Morgan Freeman’s voice used. Even though he played a character talking on a computer. His voice sounded good. Which led to him being used in voiceovers… which we will all remember him for.
.
That pansy Doctor guy played a role for which he will play for ever after. He kind of played it firstly in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Which is why he was cast in this.
.
Roy Schneider again playing the guy who knows what’s up… but nobody will listen too.
.
The Russians all seem very familiar.
.
John Lithgow gets excited and yells. It’s his thing.
.
I enjoyed it.
I watch it at least once a year. Though not as artistic as its prequel, it has quality written all over it. An excellent film through and through!
There was a scene in this movie where Dr Floyd sits on a beach with a laptop (Apple IIe I think) and sends messages without any visible connection. In 1984, that was sci-fi.
This film is almost the most underrated sequel of all time. A very good film and fills in plot holes left from the original.
plot holes of the original LOL hahahahahahaha

Condolences on your idiocy
J'ai vu ce film seul en 1987 dans une des 2 salles de cinéma de Cholet (49). expérience totalement mystique pour le Cosmologiste de quintessence que je suis depuis ma naissance. bien sur 2001 (1968) est le film de science fiction de référence néanmoins.
it's nice to see someone show this much love for 2010. it's a sequel to Clarke's version of 2001, which is a very interesting idea, and the only way to do a sequel to 2001 properly was to make it a wildly different kind of movie. I love both, but if i were to pull one of them out to watch right now it would be 2010.
Continuity-wise, it's in an odd place. In a sense, it's a sequel to a version of "2001" that never existed: one whose broad plot details (the location of the big monolith, the design of the ship, the struggle between Dave and HAL) are more in line with Kubrick's film, but which in tone and intent is more like Clarke's novel. That "2001" is the novelization Clarke would have written if he'd given his book one more rewrite after the movie was complete. And in the novel of "2010" you can see him actually doing some bits of that rewrite.
I would have been 7 when I saw this in the cinema. My mother took me in the train to see it in Belfast. I bought the magazine that came with it, I don’t think they do that for movies anymore.
It had a profound effect on me, and I still get goosebumps even when I see clips from it.
Thank you for producing this and posting.
Tony Banks, the keyboardist of the band Genesis, was originally hired to create music for this movie. They changed their minds as time went on, but he has since recorded the music he made for it.
Is there a place where one can hear it? I found David Shire’s work wanting. Really didn’t care for it...
@@shepardbook I saw it on Amazon a while ago on CD. Don't know if it's available anywhere else. Haven't heard it myself. Maybe I should. Tony definitely has the chops for orchestral arrangements.
...I remember reading the next book in the series....the Monolith's creators decided that humanity was too violent, and orders the Monolith to kill off humanity. The virtual HAL program (internalized within the Monolith) helps upload a computer virus to destroy the Monolith before it can complete it's instructions.

Underrated? Probably. Forgotten? No, absolutely no! Everyone who loves Science Fiction has seen and are fully aware of 2010.
I seriously doubt it. Maybe middle aged and older people (I'm 45 myself), but younger ones probably not. To be clear: I wish it were otherwise. It's deserves a wider audience.

This is one of my favorite Top 10 movies of all time 💯💯 I love this movie it’s an amazing sequel and it wasn’t tryna be 2001 it was its own movie and it complimented Stanley Kubricks 2001 to completely different films but it’s good in its own right very underrated and unappreciated film. 2001 series is my favorite Sci Fi
I loved 2001: A Space Odyssey, both the book and the film. Probably my favorite science fiction of all time. Both the book and the film 2010 were worthy sequels to those great works.
As much as 2001 was visually stunning (even today), it was based around a short story. When I re-watch it, I skip most of the ape scenes and the stargate scenes as I felt they were just padding out the film too much. 2010 by comparison was a full length story with a lot of concepts to get over and a sharp comment about the US/Soviet relationships of the era. 2010 is very much an underrated classic.
2010 was better than 2001 in my opinion. It had so much character and flair and love and hardship and toil and it was so uniquely HUMAN. It was like 2001 matured and grew a personality.
It's certainly easier to follow.
Yes, better. Completes the gaps of Kubrick's film. Makes its own chapter in the process.
Better.
2001 is like HAL; slow, monotonous, drawn out, borderline impossible to comprehend, yet a timeless classic.
2010 is like the human _talking to HAL;_ emotional, fearful of what might happen, and making sense of the situation at hand.
Most underrated and underappreciated movie ever! Special effects are as good as the first one. 2001 Still a better movie but 2010 is a masterpiece!
This was a good movie. I think Peter Hyams did a good job. Definitely underrated
Just watched this yesterday, it makes the first one a bit less scary since we understand the motivations of the aliens better but I feel like it does a good job expanding alot of the mysteries and doesn’t try giving us answers.
For me, this was never a forgotten sequel, I remember seeing it at the cinema, I also remember buying it on DVD (one of my first) & also as 1080P HD digital download. A very very underated film.
Where did you download the 1080p format?

Gives me goosebumps every time!! The best line in the whole movie, and they cut it out of this clip. 🙁
