Why has nobody mentioned the second film? Based on the second book. 
Nowhere near as good as the first film, but nevertheless well-made and 
enjoyable. It concerns the follow-up mission to find out what happened 
to Discovery, answers most of the questions without being too bleedin' 
obvious, and completes an open-ended story quite nicely with some new 
ideas at the same time. It also explains why HAL was not mad in any 
sense - a widespread misconception that always bugs me...

Happy New Year to y'all, by the way :-)
