Yes I know but today even in this thread so many think it's a great movie. I can't understand that.

I've seen the movie 2001 and seem to remember reading 2010 about 50 years ago. Was 2010 the one with towers on earth so tall they were beyond gravity's reach?
No. That was the second sequel, 2061. There is a fourth book, 3001, which I haven't read myself.

I saw the 2010 sequel many years ago. I think I have a VHS cassette of it. But I don't have VHS player set up. It is a rather strange movie as well.

I remember seeing 2001 twice in the Boston Cinerama theater. The first time there was a jerk and his girlfriend behind me. Through the whole thing they were complaining... "Where are the monsters?" "I want to see the monsters!" and so on. The second time there was a pretty lady beside me, and, her kids plus most of her neighborhood's kids, or so it seemed. All single digit age kids, from what I could tell, so they weren't getting it at all, and needed a lot of calming, snacks, explanations, etc. But I still liked the movie.

The part of the 2001 movie was the segment where the shuttle was traveling from the space station to the moon while the Blue Danube Waltz is playing.

If you didn't like "2001 - a Space Odyssey" how about this one. If you recognize the movie. It was out a few years before "2001".

I haven't gotten back to 2010. I've gotten hooked on 1950s sci-fi movies. "Leonard Nimoy" and "Leonard Nemoy" was listed as a minor character in The Brain Eaters, but I didn't see him. He was supposedly a "professor."
These old movies are like a time capsule of that era. The way the people dress (jacket and tie for the men and dresses and pearls for the women), the errors in science, the cars - it's all like a flashback to a more primitive time. Women were frightened and had to be protected.
