The reputation of "2010" as an inferior film is unfair, as viewed upon its own merits, it is really an exceptional film. The effects are great, the humanistic story is very solid, and acting is wonderful all-around. This is also a faithful rendition of the Clarke novel.
Compare "2010" to other hard sci-fi films of the past 30 years, and you'll probably realise this is one of the top ten during that period. Miles better than Moon or Sunshine or Intrastellar, Europa Report, or the Solaris remake.
While I still consider "2001" as the best sci-fi film of all time, "2010" is a very worthy sequel that manages to paid homage to the original while making the story more accessible. Not an easy feat, and kudos to Peter Hyams the director for doing such a great job!
