2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT (1984) - Full Watch Along

2010: The Year We Make Contact (titled on-screen as 2010) is a 1984 American science fiction film written, produced, shot, and directed by Peter Hyams. The film is a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey and adapts Arthur C. Clarke's 1982 novel 2010: Odyssey Two. 2010 follows a joint American and Soviet crew who are sent to Jupiter to discover the reason behind the failure of the Discovery One mission. The film stars Roy Scheider, Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban, and John Lithgow, along with Keir Dullea and Douglas Rain, who reprise their roles from the previous film.

Great movie.. agreed, it's no 2001 but I've always liked this one. If we really had two stars in our solar system.. I'd have to find a new hobby. The Jupiter-Sun would be bad for astrophotography, lol. I recommend you watch Contact (1997). A truly fantastic sci-fi movie. I think you'd really like it. Would love to see you do a reaction on it.

Glad you watched it. Agreed, it's not 2001, Kubrick and his approach to VFX was next level. I wish he would have done this one as well, but he had no interest in it. However, as you noted it's a great wrap to the mystery of the Obelisks. I feel like once they absorbed Bowman they were able to better understand humankind and help us. HAL's behavior explanation was also great to learn about, as well as the hidden conspiracy. You asked why Discovery's orbit was not steady. That was what the start of the movie was about: the Russian scientist hooked Floyd by telling him to check Discovery's orbit. Floyd realized that by the time the Americans got there Discovery would have crashed into Jupiter. It's unknown what caused the degrading orbit. If you haven't seen Interstellar yet, this has an interesting parallel aspect to it. It's also Christopher Nolan's finest film imo 😊
