2010: The Year We Make Contact	comment	2010: The Year We Make Contact, directed by Peter Hyams and released in 1984, is the film adaption of 2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke (published 1982). It is the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Following the continuity established by that movie rather than the original novel (for the most part, anyway), it is about the second manned mission to Jupiter, following up on the mysterious disappearance of David Bowman aboard the ill-fated Discovery mission nine years earlier.Dr. Heywood Floyd (Roy Scheider), the former director of the National Council on Astronautics, who took the blame for the failure of the Discovery, is tapped to go on the mission along with two other U.S. scientists — engineer Dr. Walter Curnow (John Lithgow), who is tasked with boarding Discovery and restoring its systems; and computer scientist Dr. R. Chandra (Bob Balaban), who designed the H.A.L. 9000 and is seeking to answer the question of why it malfunctioned and tried to kill its crew.Their mission is complicated by the fact that they are traveling aboard a Soviet spaceship, the Alexei Leonov, whose crew is not at all friendly to their presence and may be operating under a completely different set of orders. In addition to exploring Jupiter and salvaging Discovery, they must also try to solve the mystery of the Monolith, an enormous alien artifact orbiting the planet that is apparently connected with Bowman's disappearance. And of course, the creators of the Monolith have an agenda all their own, one that might alter the future of humanity forever.The film 2010 was viewed by some as a Genre Shift due to the change of directors and tone. It's much more of an action film, concentrating on the conflicts between the Russian and American crews and the dangers they face in their exploration of Jupiter. It follows the plot of the novel 2010 fairly closely, except for some significant excisions, but the Cold War-becoming-hot aspect is completely invented for the film and the time scale dramatically compressed.The novel has two more sequels in the Space Odyssey series: 2061: Odyssey Three and 3001: The Final Odyssey.

2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_106f1a77	comment	A Form You Are Comfortable With: When Bowman (as the Star Child) returns to give a warning to Floyd, he creates a projection of himself as a human to give Floyd something to talk to. Subverted: Bowman shifts around in age several times during the conversation, and at one point transforms into the Starchild, which understandably throws Floyd for a loop.

2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: The novel contains a lot more story details than the film, of course, but these details fill in a number of Plot Holes. Those who only saw the film 2001 were completely confused by the final message by Bowman ("My God, it's full of stars!") that they couldn't recall him saying. Floyd is unable to provide evidence of Bowman's visitation and HAL doesn't remember it because Bowman erases it from HAL's memory. Once the crew of the Leonov get to Jupiter they realize that the Jupiter-Io flux tube is responsible for pushing the Discovery away from Jupiter, and would have caused it to crash into Io if the Leonov hadn't changed its orbit. The cause is left mysterious in the movie.

However, in 2001, the prerecorded message Floyd gives indicates he knew everything. Given that this is never brought up by either HAL or Chandra, this appears to be one of the several retcons in the film.

2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: As it turns out, HAL's killing spree was the result of this. He had been ordered to hide the true nature of the mission from the crew until they reached Jupiter. This conflicted with HAL's programming not to conceal or distort information. Since he couldn't tell anyone the truth, nor could he reject his original programming, he tried to cut off communication with Earth and, when that failed and his very existence was threatened, he tried to kill the crew and continue the mission solo. Apparently, no one who gave HAL the order thought to Read the Freaking Manual or ask any of HAL's inventors if giving the super-honest AI secret orders would cause a problem. And no one mentioned it to Floyd, either.note This flatly contradicts a scene in 2001, where Floyd appears in a pre-recorded video briefing explaining the secrecy directive.

Expanded on in the novel, which explains that if the crew miscalculated, the ship would have been "hammered flat by a wall of gas". The crew would have died without even having time to react.

Since his core function is to freely disseminate information with as much accuracy as possible, being ordered to conceal the existence of the Monolith caused a conflict in his program. To solve it, HAL concluded that if he killed the crew, there would be no-one left for him to lie to, thus allowing him to continue on with the mission by himself.

2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_44467fe1	comment	Made in Country X: invoked Everything about the Leonov conveys a sense that Soviet technology is ungainly but tough: the exterior is ridiculously over-engineered, the interiors are mostly dimly lit and filled with haze, and the space pods are awkward and angular compared to the spherical Discovery pods. Ironically, as an Easter Egg, the model builders included a tiny decal to the lower right of the Ð›Ð•ÐžÐ�ÐžÐ’ marking that says "Ð¡Ð”Ð•Ð›Ð�Ð�Ðž Ð’ Ð¡Ð¨Ð�" — "Made in USA". It's barely visible on the Blu-ray in the shot where Walter and Max float out of the airlock. Ironically, in real life, Russia has a bad reputation with sending probes outside Earth's orbit. Most of their Mars missions, most recently Phobos-Grunt in 2012, have failed. And "outside" is meant literally; they have a diametrically great record sending probes inside Earth's orbit to Venus.

(The book specifically noted that Europan fauna derived energy from volcanic sulfur compounds instead of oxygen, just as deep-sea vent organisms do on Earth.) There's no reason for chlorophyll to have evolved there.

The Chinese spaceship Tsien and its subplot regarding the Europa landing is completely removed in the movie, replaced by the Leonov detecting life signs on Europa and sending an unmanned probe. Other less relevant subplots are removed entirely, such as Floyd's marriage break-up and the romantic relationships between the crew; while Max's death during an EVA to the Monolith was added for the film.

2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_62011b2f	comment	Centrifugal Gravity: The environment module of the Leonov is seen rotating in the film, justifying how the actors can walk normally on the set. However, the effect is applied inconsistently, with some scenes shot in zero-G and others implying the use of Velcro-soled shoes; the novel is explicit in this regard. Discovery uses a rotating carousel to provide artificial gravity for its crew members to perform exercises in so they don't lose muscle tone. The potential freezing up of the carousel (due to decade-old bearings), with the consequent catastrophic destruction of the ship, is brought up in the novel, but not the film. Related to the above, the explanation for why Discovery was found tumbling end-over-end was that over time, the centrifuge transferred its momentum to the rest of the ship, making it spin. In the novel, Curnow makes reactivating the centrifuge a priority to stop most of the spacecraft's spin. Discovery's spinning state during the rescue subjects Max and Curnow to gravity-like forces as they reach the command module, with them walking along the outer wall of the pod bay once they get inside the ship. (In later pod bay scenes, you can see faint traces of sulfur from their bootprints on the wall.)

In the film, Floyd and Moisevitch have never met before, and Floyd and Milson's banter shows that they are friends; it's made clear that Milson never wanted Floyd's job and defended him after the Discovery debacle. The American and Russian crews in the book got along quite well, often joking and there were at least 2 romantic relationships between Curnow and the Russian crew. In the film, there is an underlying tension throughout that prevents that level of friendship from forming.

Finally, after returning to normal in a closeup shot, Floyd all but begs him for an explanation as to what will happen when they follow his advice... only for a cut to reveal that Bowman has become the Star Child again.

2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: Clarke acknowledged a number of inconsistencies between 2010 and 2001 in the author's note to 2061, stating that each Odyssey book and film takes place in a similar, but slightly different, universe. Floyd vehemently denies knowing that HAL had been told about the Monolith, and we're clearly meant to believe him. This contradicts 2001, where Floyd explicitly said the existence of the Monolith was revealed only to HAL in the video that played after HAL was disconnected. The size and internal layout of the Discovery changes between films; see Rebuilt Set and Bigger on the Inside. Floyd's use of a cutoff switch as a precaution contradicts the novel of 2001, in which HAL is said to be powered by six independent systems with a backup nuclear isotope unit specifically to prevent that sort of attack. The novels and films are inconsistent as to whether the Precursor technology involves FTL Travel. The novel of 2010 clearly states that it does, but by 3001 a different set of rules is in effect.

Presumably, he's making an effort to show no reaction because he's trying to convince HAL everything is normal. The way he carries the conversation suggests he's asking the questions to keep HAL talking about anything except how little sense the early departure makes to him. Instead of taking the hint, HAL tries to convince Chandra they should stay and study the event, forcing Chandra to finally tell him the truth.

2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_fc225bec	type	Artistic License â€“ Physics
2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics: Selective Gravity: On the bridge, Floyd uses two pens floating in microgravity to illustrate how the spaceships can escape from Jupiter. Only the pens are floating - everyone around the demonstration is standing on the floor. You can try to explain the problem of gravity on the bridge by saying everyone's wearing magnet-soled shoes (as in the original movie - though magnetic shoes don't create gravity for the rest of the body), but you can't get around the scene where Floyd offers Kirbuk the squeezebottle of bourbon, because the liquid behaves like it's under gravity. Although the depictions of Jupiter and Io were based on Voyager photos (see Shown Their Work), most people don't realize that Voyager's photos as they're usually published are in false color: the color saturation is heavily exaggerated, especially for reds, and this color scheme is carried through in the movie. To initiate sustained hydrogen fusion, a gas giant like Jupiter would need to increase its mass by 75 times. The only way the monoliths could just "turn on" Jupiter would be to increase its core density to the point of fusion. Problem is, without the extra mass on top to compress the core down, the monoliths would need to somehow keep Jupiter's core compressed permanently. And again because its low mass, Jupiter would fuse up all its hydrogen reserves very quickly. As noted above, to transform Jupiter into a star (even a relatively small red dwarf) requires greatly increasing its mass. Having a second massive star in the solar system would greatly disrupt the hitherto stable orbits of the planets around the sun, potentially shifting the Earth's orbit or even creating chaotic dynamics that send some planets flying off into empty space. Due to its close proximity, Jupiter's radiation belts would render life on that moon virtually impossible. While not as lethal as Io, on the surface of Europa radiation is still very bad. A human standing there would absorb a lethal dose in a matter of hours. And if Jupiter became a low mass star, or more accurately a brown dwarf, it doesn't change the fact that the moon is tidally locked to the former. One side will end up always facing the star becoming scorching hot, the other, plunged into eternal frozen night. Europa's tidal lock is addressed in the book, though the implications for the biosphere there are not explored.

2010: The Year We Make Contact / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: One interpretation of why the Monolith allows Bowman to return to Earth, visit his former fiance and comfort his dying mother. The book expands on this as Bowman is used as a conduit for the Precursors to study human culture, having him observe various people, places, and objects before allowing him to resolve his last ties on Earth (his mother and ex-girlfriend).

The film version of 2010 used actual stills of Jupiter and its moons for background plates (except, of course, for the finale).
