A wholly thrilling, beautifully shot sequel to a sci-fi classicJanuary 01, 2000
Now that enough time has elapsed since the release of 2010 for outraged 2001 fans to calm down, it can be seen that, while there was no decisive creative reason for Hyams' sequel to exist, it's not a bad movie.October 23, 2004
A good-looking, sharp-edged, entertaining, exciting space opera.April 20, 2009
...a good, well-made, tightly-knit, nicely-acted science-fiction sequel, yet one that clearly lacks the vision and scope of its illustrious predecessor.January 04, 2010
A much slicker, studio-friendly job than the first one was, with its much more famous cast, and its easier aesthetic.August 03, 2011
It can't hope to compete with Kubrick, but if you can distance Peter Hyams's picture from its formidable forerunner, you'll find a thoughtful and sometimes unforgettable science-fiction fable.November 03, 2008
A hodge-podge of bits and pieces.June 09, 2009
What is 2010 but a conservative Cold War "message" flick.February 09, 2006
Hyams' sequel to Kubrick's big daddy of sci-fi movies may not have the novelty of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but it is still a better film than anyone could have dared to expect.August 30, 2004
A lot of care has gone into it, but it has no satirical substructure to match that of the Kubrick film, and which was eventually responsible for that film's continuing popularity.August 03, 2011
Flash: There is intelligent life in outer space. More, anyway, than in this amiable footnote of a movie.August 03, 2011
It has all the right plot elements, dramatic tension, and eye-popping special effects. The performances are uniformly good, the space-adventure scenes are excitingly handled, and the reappearance of HAL 9000 and Dullea is downright eerie.
