2001-2010: From the best to the mediocre

I just watched the movie and checked the introduction of the original book. There is actually a plot about China in it. It said that the Chinese "Qian Xuesen" grabbed the US and the Soviet Union to reach the accident site, but suffered an accident and all sacrificed ~ and the movie does not Without this paragraph...
The serious situation of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in Central America was exaggerated in the film. I wonder if this is the case in the original book? (Of course, the author doesn't know the real 2010, when the Soviet Union was already wiped out.) The film was shot in 1984, which was quite in line with the situation at that time.
"2010" has much richer stories and characters than "2001", and is more recognizable. The writers and directors try to move closer to the direction of commercial films.
In terms of artistry and ideology, it is incomparable with "2001", and it is not at the same level at all.
"2001" has no dialogue for more than 10 minutes at the beginning, the smooth transition from bone to spaceship, and the wonderful journey at the end are all classics that cannot be surpassed~
"2010" seems to have given up efforts in this area, and wants to tell a nice story ~ But the story and logic of the original work itself are relatively weak, and various strange phenomena have never been given any scientific explanation, and its focus is to explore human nature~ Therefore, the adaptation of "2010" was not successful .
It is said that the sequel of "2001" has been written from "2010" to "2061", and has been written to "3001". If Lao Bu is not dead, he will continue to shoot, I don't know what the result will be?
