mvie mu-1000086: 2010: The Odyssey of My 200th Review

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:25:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Goatius - I don't have any particular affinity for this film. I've seen it a few times now over the years, and was really intending on holding off reviewing it until next year, just for the synergy of it. But, lo and behold, my 200th review snuck up on...

mvie mu-1000086: 2010: Hyams' sequel to 2001 isn't at Kubrick's level but still good

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 14:49:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author alexdg1 - In the years after the 1968 release of Stanley Kubrick's landmark science-fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey, he and collaborator Arthur C. Clarke were asked many questions about how it was conceived, how the realistic special effects...

mvie mu-1000086: A worthy sequel to Kubrick's masterpiece

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:27:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chad9976 - It's impossible to discuss Peter Hyams' "2010: The Year We Make Contact" without comparing it to its predecessor, Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey." This film incorporates many of the essential elements of the original, but it is not the...

mvie mu-1000086: Hyams' 2010: The Year We Make Contact

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:47:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nicndere - Ever since as a youngster fan of sci-fi, I always had grown to dream of all of mystery and fantasy. I caught a glimpse of lots of sci-fi magazine and article spreading on the shelves, I have had recalled I only picked up one or two from the pile, quickly...

mvie mu-1000086: Delivers the goods

Fri, 29 Sep 2006 18:18:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heaveninblue - I agree on the fact that this movie is very different from its predecessor. But, was it supposed to be like 2001? Hyams and Kubrick work in different ways and off course the result is not the same. However, 2010 is and excellent movie which continues the...

mvie mu-1000086: Not like its predecessor, but what could be? Very good

Sun, 10 Sep 2006 17:50:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dolphinboy - Before 1968, science fiction movies, with a few exceptions (e.g., The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet), were farces, or close to it. Then, in 1968, filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and author Arthur C. Clarke got together to turn...

mvie mu-1000086: 2010: The Year 2001 Turned Hollywood

Sun, 5 Sep 2004 02:46:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author forrest_rice - How can anyone defend this monstrosity? People say that as a sequel to "2001: a Space Odyssey" it's not that great, but on it's own it's very good. I am sure this is untrue, and I have no idea why anyone can't see that. First of all, you will greatly...

mvie mu-1000086: Now only seven years away. . .

Mon, 3 Feb 2003 20:28:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thewasp - This morning, a co-worker and I were talking about the Columbia disaster, which most of us who live in north Texas (including me) actually heard with our own ears and couldn't connect with the shuttle before the media had time to report what was...

mvie mu-1000086: 2010: A totally different kind of movie

Wed, 20 Nov 2002 12:29:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Kidnykid - 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT is purportedly a sequel to 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Certainly, there are connections between the two. Dr. Heywood Floyd (Roy Scheider in this film incarnation) and a team of American and Russian colleagues go to the space...

mvie mu-1000086: Give it a chance

Wed, 6 Feb 2002 00:15:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lunchbuddy - Forget that 2001 was directed by Kubrick and that 2010 couldn't possibly live up to it, that's a good start.

It is 2010 and the Discovery is sinking towards Io, a moon of Jupiter. Heywood Floyd, who put together the first Discovery mission,...

mvie mu-1000086: One Sequel That Really Works

Thu, 29 Nov 2001 01:39:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ecn71270 - Let's face the reality. There will NEVER be another film like 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY for as long as we live.

That said, however, "2010", released in 1984, however different it may be from its predecessor, is still an excellent sequel to...

mvie mu-1000086: I've Been to Europe But Not Europa

Sun, 26 Aug 2001 10:08:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author quasar - Silence. This movie starts with complete silence. Slowly, very slowly the familiar strains of Thus Spake Zarathustra whirl in, dramatic bold music wired into our brains to be associated with space exploration. Then an eerily familiar voice comes...

mvie mu-1000086: Contact? Well, not quite...

Wed, 13 Jun 2001 01:54:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author telynor - I love this film. It's one of the few science fiction films out there that doesn't rely on gun battles, draws on what we know now, and doesn't talk down to you either. I love that.

The really sad part is that it's supposed to be a sequel to...

mvie mu-1000086: The Sequel That Isn't!

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 15:26:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author john_malaise - In 1968 Stanley Kubrick released 2001: A Space Odyssey to the world. It was stunning visually and musically. An Intellectual movie, there was a great deal of underlying meaning to the film. With special effects which hold their own, even today,...

mvie mu-1000086: 2010 - Poor Hal!

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 10:35:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author swoeste - I first went to see "2010 The Year We Make Contact" in 1984. I had high hopes for it, since it promised the return of several notable characters from 2001, including the Commander, and HAL, the evil computer who had sabotaged the...

mvie mu-1000086: A Excellent Sequel to 2001

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 22:50:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rfish - Even though this movie has been out for several years, it is worth a rainy day viewing. The plot is simple without many twists but it is done in such a way as to make you relate to the characters. 2001 was more of a cult film than than 2010. This...
