Question by Lauren is cool: Do I need to watch 2001: A space Odyssey to understand 2010: The Year we Make Contact?
I’m interested in watching these movies, do I need to watch the first film to understand the second film?

Answer by S B
yes!
Events such as the HAL incident, the apperance of the monoliths, and the dissapeering astronaut are all improtant to undersatnd before viewing 2010. If you do not watch the first one you will be lost
