I think 2010 is underrated bc to really get into that movie you had to: 1) have watched 2001, 2) have liked 2001, 3) be open to a sequel that was very different in tone.
I also really liked the way that scientist was having a dialogue with his computer back on Earth. AI seemed so open, so full of possibility, not so limited and corporate like it turned out to be.
I’d say that the difference in tone is the biggest hurdle.
If you get a chance, watch ‘The French Connection II.’ It was also poorly received. The best part is Gene Hackman’s performance. I won’t give away any spoilers, but it’s more about his struggles than solving a crime.

I don’t think I’ve even watched the first French Connection, I’ll have to check it out sometime.
