Solaris (DVD 2003)Review created: 21/01/07

I love this film, the pace of it really grabs you. It is very slow but holds your interest as the cinematography and the performances are so very strong. George Clooney is great in this and the story really captures the viewer. It is also very romantic but manages not to be slushy and corny.
I have watched this 3 times now and still love it, it may well be one of my top 10 favourite films.

Closest thing to 2001: A Space Odessy...Review created: 08/01/09

Solaris, an alien planet or perhaps and alien existance can show us things that we hide even from ourselves. As other reviewers have stated, this film is one that raises many questions for the open minded and those who seek knowledge of the 'beyond'. As George Cloony's characters states, 'our existance is merely a mathematical probability'...So therefore, one concludes that the existance of a place such as Solaris is also a mathematical probability...What would you confront if in that situation?
This film also stars George Cloony in what I would consider his best role to date. Never over acted and not playing a rediculously over-confident character. Instead he portrays a man grounded and real, with great conviction and emotion. A very convincing role where Cloony becomes the character of the story instead of a super star playing a role.
A truly thought provoking film with an awesome musical score and breathtaking filmography of Solaris akin to scenes of the space station in 2001. I'd recommend for fans of Assimov and H.P. Lovecraft.
It is like no other sci-fi you will have seen and tells one of the greatest love stories caught on film of how love can break through the boundries of time and space. I'll leave you with a quote that, for me, summerises the protagonists theme in this film.

I'am not a Clooney Fan and everthing what I' saw before with him was rubbish !
But this one is Great ! This is not a Movie for 0-Brainer, this one goes to
the Abyss of the human Soul ! Solaris materialise your deepest Fears and
secret Wishes ! And I' can only envy Him ( in this Movie ;-) for that what is
offert to Him by the mysterious Solaris..........
This Movie is a very rare Example that SF can be intelligent and not neccery
ful of slimy Monster and Lasergun fire !
I' would grade this Movie very close to " 2001 " !!!

Worst Film Ever!!!Review created: 14/07/06

I've already wasted 94 minutes of my life, so I'm going to be brief.
I've watched A LOT of films and I like to think I'm pretty open-minded and easy to please, but this has to be the absolute worst film I've ever seen.
There is absolutely nothing good to say about it.

I threw this movie out but then it re-appeared in the middle of the night claiming it wasn't the same one but that Solaris had recreated it from my memory of it. Spooky.

Solaris or paint drying?Review created: 17/05/08

Its hard to work out why I have watched this film 5 times and then bought it. Is it Steven Soderberg? Is it George Cluney? Is it James Cameron?
I have no idea - every time I watch it, I feel like I've just wasted 2 hours I will never get back.
Its boring, its characters are rubbish, its pace is terrible, its story is abysmal, and it feels like at somepoint there will be a directors cut, that will make everyone go 'Ah!!! so thats why all those greats were involved - its fantastic, just the studios cut it to pieces to placate women wanting Gorgeous George and nothing else.
Yet, I'm about to start watching it again, because its like passing a terrible accident, you can't help but look. I'm missing something. I must be, there isno way this can be as bad as I think it is and still get the plaudits it does from the critics.
Either that or its a terrible joke, and like George in the movie, although I know its never going to be what I want it to be, It keeps coming back to me every couple of months and won't leave my head until I watch it again to confirm 'there was no hidden subtex that makes this a masterpiece. IT really is as crap as you remember'
I think the thing that keeps me returning to it is the music, which is simply phenominal. I am not a fan for film soundtracks, but the music tells amuch more beautiful story than the script ever will. It really is moving on so many levels, and if nothing else, the film makes a pretty good music video to go with it, if it had a fraction of the delicate beauty that the soundtrack evokes, this truely would have been a masterpiece.
I'm not telling you not to watch this - I urge you to, and if you find the beauty I am missing, please, please tell me. I want to love this film with all my heart. But it's like all the silent emotional bits from the TV series Miami Vice stuck together back to back for 2 hours, and is no where near as clever as it thinks it is.
