Solaris

This was really well done. Very interesting movie. Clooney was great in it.

This is a modern classic. It's respectful in core mood and concept to the original book - not so much the earlier movie of the book - and it is a brilliant, utterly unforgettable meditation on loss, love, guilt, identity, meaning, mortality, humanity, sanity, wrapped in some of the most beautiful filmic images and music you will ever experience.

This film is okay, but not great.It is better than the original but I was left thinking that, while not a waste of my time, I could have been doing something better.

Shallow ghost of the original

Pointless.

i-tunes has it under their "Romance" section. Lol .. now I know why this movie never got rave reviews. Most people just don't get it. NOT ROMANCE. A Mind-Altering substance !

It starts out looking like it'll be a scary movie, but turns into a philosophical, romantic drama with a few thriller elements. It blurs the lines between genres, but it's ultimately thoughtful and uplifting. Highly recommended. If you watch it without expecting it to fit into any specific genre, it's enjoyable and leaves you feeling like you experienced something special. At least, that's how it makes me feel.

I keep coming back to this movie and soundtrack.

Fortunately for me, I read the book before I watched the movie. So I understood what was going on throughout the film. For instance, I already knew that on the planet was a liquid life form that covered almost the entire planet and that the life form could change the mass of the planet (read the book if you want to know why it did this. It is quite fascinating). So this movie is a lot like 2001. In 2001, the movie does not explain that he is traveling through a worm hole. So naturally most movie goers were confused by what was happening with the psychedelic lights as he is traveling through space. I think that Soderbergh was influenced heavily by Kubrick when he made this film. There are a lot of elements borrowed from 2001 and The Shining. It is one of the reasons why I love this movie.
