- ikesau 3y ago2010: Odyssey Two, Arthur C. Clarke's sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey
- CuteDinosaur 3y agoSeems pretty. Will read soon.
- twoodfin 3y agoThe film version is flawed but still well-worth anyone’s time who got this deep in the thread & enjoys hard, near-future sci-fi. My theory is that 2010: The Year We Make Contact is a lot like Blade Runner, pre- the various Ridley Scott re-cuts. Drop the voiceover, tweak the ending to be less literal / sentimental, fix some of the FX matting, and you’d be left with one of the best serious SF films since 2001.
- ck2 3y agoSurprised they haven't made 2061 with modern FX and budget so they can market it as a trilogy. Must be too busy rebooting batman over and over for the 100th time I guess.
- pndy 3y agoI enjoy both; 2010 is more an action piece wrapped with this period-specific visuals, coming also with burden of the real-world Cold War. While 2001 is a cinematic masterpiece that ended times of this naive pulp-scifi with its metal pointy rockets and damsel in distress tropes. The only thing I really really don't like the paint-psychodelic visual that Kubric used instead of Clarke's "Grand Central Station of the galaxy". I really wish the remaining books would be turn into movies and so the Clarke-Baxter' A Time Odyssey series.
