It feels more like an action oriented movie than a guilty pleasure of cinematography like the 2001 was. The design of the sets makes it a piece of its times - not mention the subplot about two superpower on the edge of nuclear annihilation that affect the combined crew of Leonov. And that perhaps also contributes for 80s movie - the "hidden" message for the audience that we're only the tenants on this planet and maybe we should rethink our actions. 2001 is a great movie but I never liked the LSD driven oil paint visuals at the end instead of a journey through the "Grand Central Station of the galaxy" depict in the Clarke's book There were plans for 2061 movie but seems things stuck in the development hell.
