What critics compared 2010 to
The sleek, science-friendly elegance of Arthur Max’s production design recalls “Silent Running” (another sci-fi parable with a botanist hero), while its running series of logistical challenges echoes Arthur C. Clarke sequel “2010.”
…interestingly, Peter Hyams’ overlooked 2010 posed the same idea…
Consider James Cameron's The Abyss, which also employed alien intervention to urge peace between nations - that's a case where the message folds nicely into the overall storyline, rather than seeming tacked-on, as it does in 2010.
Has the same exact motivation as the aliens in James Cameron's The Abyss .
