Sigh... I remember... when I saw this movie in the theater. When HAL was revived.... The entire theater literally cheered for 5 minutes. ... Good Morning Dr. Chandra. It was EPIC!!

It is not an equal, but I'm willing to bet that director/writer Peter Hyams, would agree nothing could equal the original. They came up with their interpretation. and did a masterful job. After 2001, all the sets were destroyed, so all they had to go with re-creating the Discovery was photos and stills from the orignal movie. I though the sets were very convincing. William Syslvester, original Heywood Floyd, was still alive but his acting filmography ends a couple years earlier, so I guess he was retired. I haven't read the book, I don't know if there was a reason in the story, that Floyd's first wife died, and he had remarried and had a new son. He said his daughter was 17, but in 2001, she appeared to only be 3 or 4 years old, so wouldn't she be about 12 or 13? Keir Dullea hadn't changed at all, so he fit right in and Douglas Rain's voice acting was perfet for HAL. I got to see both movies in the theatre on the big screen, and 2010 looked as great on the big screen as 2001.
