Product Description:
A joint american-soviet space expedition is sent to jupiter to learn what happen to the discovery. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 10/05/2004 Starring: John Lithgow Helen Mirren Run time: 116 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Peter Hyams

Amazon.com:
No director could ever have hoped to repeat the artistic achievement of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and nobody knew that better than Peter Hyams, who made this much more conventional film from the first of three sequel novels by Arthur C. Clarke. Whereas Kubrick made a poetic film of mind-expanding ideas and metaphysical mysteries, Hyams shouldn't be blamed for taking a more practical, crowd-pleasing approach. In revealing much of what Kubrick deliberately left unexplained, 2010 lacks the enigmatic awe of its predecessor, but it's still a riveting tale of space exploration and extraterrestrial contact, beginning when a joint American-Soviet mission embarks to determine the cause of failure of the derelict spaceship Discovery. Having arrived at Discovery near the planet Jupiter, the American mission leader (Roy Scheider) and his Russian counterpart (Helen Mirren) must investigate the apparent failure of the ship's infamous onboard computer, HAL 9000, as well as the meaning of countless mysterious black monoliths amassing on Jupiter's surface (an interpretation Kubrick originally left up to his viewers). Meanwhile, Earth is on the brink of nuclear war, and an apparition of astronaut David Bowman (Keir Dullea) appears to repeatedly promise that "something wonderful" is about to happen. --Jeff Shannon

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - Unfairly maligned "2010: The Year We Make Contact" gets a bad rap primarily because it's not "2001: A Space Odyssey." No matter what they would have filmed, the movie would have been dismissed out of hand by most people. I think it's a fine film, though. I know that I'll get hammered for this, but I enjoyed it more than I did "2001." The Kubrick film was indisputably beautiful, but I found it to be dramatically inert. I was mesmerized by the imagery but I didn't care about the characters or the story (and the "acid trip" at the end went on for far too long). "2010," by contrast, isn't as beautiful. The utilitarian nature of the space craft design is carried over to the storytelling style as well. Peter Hyams, the director, sacrifices the perfectly composed shots that Kubrick created in deference to keeping the story moving. In the end it all comes down to whether you prefer poetry or prose. I like prose. I prefer forward momentum to stasis. "2010" doesn't have the sense of wonder that "2001" does, but it's populated with characters and a narrative that you can become emotionally invested in. A NOTE ABOUT THE DVD: As much as I like the film itself, the DVD is just okay. The transfer is substandard (non-anamorphic) and pretty bare bones. Rumor has it that there will be a special edition DVD in the year 2010. One can hope. + See Full Customer Review
