2010
|
|
(PG)
(Dir. Peter Hyams, USA, 1984, 114m) Cinemascope (with
Roy Scheider, Helen Mirren) 70mm and 35mm prints. Sequel to 2001
written by director Hyams from the follow-up novel by Arthur C.
Clarke (who has a cameo on Washington park bench). 2010 does continue
the story, and it offers sound, pragmatic explanations for many
of the strange and visionary things in 2001 that had us arguing
about the content. Scheider is the perfect Everyman who journeys
into space on a joint American-Soviet mission to solve the mystery
of what went wrong on the original Discovery flight. More concrete
and therefore less mystical than 2001, but still an entertaining
journey, with state-of-the-art visual effects by Richard Edlund.
