2010

|
(PG)(Dir.
Peter Hyams, USA, 1984, 114m) Cinemascope (with
Roy Scheider, Helen Mirren) 70MM PRINT & 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. |
