Scripted, shot, directed and edited by Soderbergh with his customary intelligence and assurance, this is perhaps the most ambiguous and cerebrally sophisticated Hollywood movie in nearly three decades.

Anomalous and mesmerising.

With audacity and style, Steven Soderbergh has revisited one of Russian cinema's landmarks, and done so very successfully.

Soderbergh has given us a boutique space picture - smallish but classy with a translucent glow, accented in chrome, white and blue and touched up with crystalline surfaces.

One of the finest science fiction films since 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Fiasco of infuriating pretentiousness and numbing incoherence.

Apr 30, 2014This 2002 remake of Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris manages to be far less ambitious and goes straight to the point. I thought it was a good take on the classic film, but it doesn't have the epic visuals and terrific, yet simple story that the original possessed. Of course, this film echoes what the 1976 film had, but it never goes in depth with its subject, and it doesn't do anything new or refreshing. With that being said, Watch the original film instead, it's far superior and it's a classic of the genre. This remake is good, but it never comes close to the original. The acting in this remake is very good, and I thought that overall it was a solid film, but it also rushed through the story a bit. With the original, it took its time to let the story unfold and it worked brilliantly and that's one of the main reasons that Tarkovsky's Sci Fi classic is so unique and ultimately memorable. With this remake, you get a far shorter film, one that doesn't reach its potential and in turn lacks the development that made the original so good. Nonetheless, this remake is good, but it could have been better as well. Luckily the cast are great, and it's the film's strongest asset. However, I would recommend the 1976 film instead of this one, but if you want a more stripped down version, with less ambitious ideas, then this remake is for you. In terms of revamping a classic film, Solaris like every other remake before or after it has left a bit to be desired, and makes you want to watch the original film. The ideas expressed on-screen, are things we've seen before, and there never is new blood injected into the story. For a remake however, it's quite good, but it's nothing compared to the film that came before it.Alex r Super Reviewer

Jan 02, 2014Solaris is far from perfect but I think it has a lot going for it with the questions that I think it asks. Questions such as If you could make right mistakes from the past would you, and if you could what would you do differently second time around? What happens when old wounds are reopened and if there are feelings of guilt or regret on your behalf would this just serve to cut you up some more? This is what happens when Dr Kelvin (Clooney) is asked to assist a crew on a mission exploring a strange entity in space called Solaris. He is visited by his past one night and it is thought that the entity is responsible as other members of the crew describe similar experiences. Can Kelvin see the situation for what it is or will his emotions take control? It still looks good 10 years on from its release and a nod from me to the soundtrack which is very atmospheric and fits the general mood of the story well. Clooney is not bad but I found myself wondering why Natascha McElhone (who was also in the superb The Truman Show) didn't become a bigger star than she has? She seemed to have an on screen presence of what I can only lazily describe as classiness or elegance if you would prefer? I also liked Jeremy Davies performance as he reminds me a little of Eric Bana but the oddball, vague manner of the character he plays might not suit all tastes.Justin F Super Reviewer

Solaris Quotes
| Gibarian: | If you think that there is a solution, you'll die here. |
| Dr. Chris Kelvin: | And death shall have no dominion. Dead men naked they shall be one with the man in the wind and the west moon. When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone they shall have stars at elbow and foot. Though they go mad they shall be sane. Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again. Though lovers be lost love shall not. And death shall have no dominion. |
