Because the content is instructional, it lacks the interpersonal dialogue and plot complexity needed to address identity or social themes. Consequently, the film reflects the typical industry demographics of the mid-1980s without challenging existing cultural norms or representing diverse social groups.

Official Synopsis
This promotional short for 2010 (1984) shows moviegoers how some of the film's visual effects were created. This includes makeup for Keir Dullea's character, how the astronauts float in space, and the construction of the spaceship in which the astronauts carry out their mission. The vehicle is so large, the two largest sound stages on the MGM lot were used to construct it.
