    Space oddessy
    I thought that 2001- a space oddessy
    And
    2010- the year we make contact
    Would be worth discussing
    My reaction after finishing wathcing 2001 was "im not quite sure i understood that....."
    Lol
    Anyone understand the meaning of the final scene in that one?
    The second movie was eventually easier to understand, but what was the meaning of the constant chaning of that bowman guy when he talks to the guy in the pod bay?

    I really loved the start of 2010 "MY GOD, ITS FULL OF STARS!" sounded really cool lolz

    I read both novels and their extended explanations. The first one ends by showing an embryonic creature which had been Bowman but which now has been changed so that he returns to Earth's vicinity to improve conditions there. The novel tells us that the first thing he does with his powers is to destroy all nuclear weapons in orbit. Then it leaves us with his pondering on what he will do next.

    The 2010 which one would expect to dovetail with the previous novel doesn't. It has Bowman appearing a disappearing and not even understanding where or what he is.
    Yet he is sufficiently cognizant to know that he has to warn the crew members of the expedition to get out of there because Jupiter will become a star.


    Actually, there is a third novel which I also read. I think it's entitled 2020 space Oddysee written by Arthur C Clark This one brings the whole thing to its true conclusion.
