"A lot of care has gone into it, but it has no satirical substructure to match that of the Kubrick film, and which was eventually responsible for that film's continuing popularity. - Vincent Canby, New York Times Flash: There is intelligent life in outer space.

“Now i had never seen this or even heard of this when i was growing up so i never watch it or else i would have. This movie is good but it is just nowhere near Stanley Kubrick 2001: A Space Odyssey.

"Upeasti kuvattu ja erityisesti valaistu (kuten moni ohjaajan elokuvista joissa hän on itse myös kuvaajana) jatko-osa elokuvaan josta ei vaan voi oikein järkevää jatko-osaa tehdä.
