What to Know

Critics Consensus

2010 struggles to escape from the shadow of its monolithic predecessor, but offers brainy adventure in a more straightforward voyage through the cosmos.

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. Go to Full Review

...2020; The Year We Make Contact is a sequel with real virtues which are completely hidden in the shadow of the film it follows, 2001. Critics baulked; the last thing they wanted was blunt answers when the original questions were so beautifully posed... Go to Full Review
Sergio Benítez Espinof 04/28/2020
Hyams' decision to separate his film from Kubrick`s one plays much more in favor of the very good feelings that the production leaves than it might seem at first glance. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
David Elliott Copley News Service 07/19/2019
Hyams directed, produced, scripted, even supervised photography, but his dossier is not that of a masterbuilder. He's a sturdy craftsman who gets all the gears moving in tight rhythm. His film is impressive but not elating. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 30 Successful in 1 hour and 54 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more May 8 A completely baseless story, what a waste of time and resources... See more thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 30 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, esse filme tem um vibe boa sobre o futuro, mas não se compara com o filme 2001 odisseia no espaço. See more David S 11/28/2024 Way better than I thought it would be - and an ending that can be understood unlike its predecessors'. See more Nik75 J 11/25/2024 The overdubbed dialog sort of brings the movie down. Follows the book closely, which isn't necessarily good. Overly long intro part. Has some good moments and some intellectual depth. Can't compare in any way to 2001 but it is watchable. See more Jim P 10/10/2024 Meh... Some good visuals, a bit of suspense... not a great movie. If you liked "2001" go read the books. There are 4 of them! See more Read all reviews
