Never bothered watching the sequel when I first watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, but after really enjoying my rewatch, it was only right to get this watched. Overall, just a solid sequel that adds more depth and concludes the plot ideas of the original. It does a good job of adding but not ruining 2001.
But actually more importantly than being a good sequel in my opinion, this is also just a really cool and decently put together Sci-Fi film. Doesn’t touch 2001, especially stylistically (sound design and music in particular was a monumental step down), but the captivating Sci-Fi elements were all there, and so I’m content with just that.
