While I’ve loved 2010 since I first saw it in '85 (but for different reasons than I loved 2001), a couple of other things really bugged me even as a kid back then:
- The scale of the Discovery is waaay too large in 2010, inconsistent with its size in 2001 (admittedly a minor point)
and - The pod bay was supposed to be in zero-G, but the characters in 2010 lounge around and slouch, leaning on the scenery as if they’re standing on Earth. This REALLY bugged me - Hyams should have noticed this, and directed them differently. In 2001, when Bowman and Poole are walking across the pod bay floor they’re obviously aware that they’re supposed to be wearing magnetic boots in a zero-G environment, and it shows in their movements.
