Trivialidades:

Some of the products in the film no longer exist at the time of its supposed happening. For example, as of 2001-- let alone 2010-- Pan Am was no longer a global airline.

Goofs:

Factual errors: It is stated in the movie that the monolith has dimensions 1-4-9. It's width to height ratio is indeed 4 to 9. However, the thickness is far less than one fourth of the width.

Quotes:

Walter Curnow: If it has to taste like this, I don't care if my electrolytes are imbalanced or not.

Actually, it's very good!

Of course it comes nowhere close to the brilliance of "2001: A Space Odyssey", but I don't think that ever was the makers intension. I believe that "2010" was made to tie up the loose ends and answer some of the questions that "2001: A Space Odyssey" left.

While "2001: A Space Odyssey" was more a visual movie, "2010" actually has many dialog but that doesn't mean that the movie isn't visually spectacular. The sets look beautiful and the special effects also have improved a lot.

The story is easier to follow and therefor the movie is more better to watch for a wider range of people then "2001: A space Odyssey" was. And I even think that this movie is pleasant to watch even if you haven't seen "2001: A Space Odyssey". luckily HAL is still scary even though his role is smaller in this one. And the space walk is actually still one of my favorite moments in cinema history!

The performances by the actors are good, and the tension and relation between the Americans and Russians is done very well.

Although not as brilliant, easier to watch as "2001: A Space Odyssey"

8/10
