I recently watched an analysis of “2010 The Year We Make Contact” and I have to agree with the premise that this is actually an interesting movie. It’s got a stellar cast that put in good performances.
I also love the retro futurism vibe with CRTs and Apple IIc’s. This has to be a conscious choice to make the audience relate more to the situation by bringing in some current day tech. The future feels less far off, and less sterile.
Its sin is in trying to unravel and ground some of the mystery of 2001. But the HAL of this film feels a lot more like the creepy AI of today, and less like magic.
