Okay, but I wasn't comparing 2010 to 2001, I was comparing 2010 to 2010. I think most of my problems with the Hyams film stem from being too short and rushed to do the book justice.

Yeah, I can see that. "The Odyssey Files" describes how some of those creative decisions came about (with Clarke's input throughout, BTW). Doing full justice to the book would probably have required a miniseries rather than a feature film, especially in those days.

I'll keep an eye out for that. I could probably check it out from my library network.
