Why?
- jedberg 3y agoIt's a reference to the movie/book 2010: Odyssey Two, by Arther C. Clarke. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010:_Odyssey_Two https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010:_Odyssey_Two
- vonjuice 3y agoI know the film sequel is shunned (and I presume rightfully so) but does the same apply about the book?
- jedberg 3y agoI’m probably not the best person to ask. I loved all four books and both movies. I actually saw 2010 before 2001 and dare say I kind of prefer 2010. 2001 is beautiful art but the pacing is slow. 2010 is a solid 80s sci-fi flick.
- vonjuice 3y agoSlow is good, it's covering spans of millennia. This is not the book-endorsement I was looking for but I won't shun it either.
- bitwize 3y ago2010 will never be as good as 2001, but it is a really solid film. And it exonerates HAL in lovely form.
