Review: Solaris

· Score: 1
For someone who claims to know a lot about the history of Solaris, I had to chuckle upon the notion that this movie was being considered a sci-fi movie! *This* version of Solaris is the complete opposite to science fiction. This is a love story! You don't need to see Ghost for crying out loud, it's right here in front of you. Frankly, recommending a movie like this to sci-fi fans is completly wrong thing to do, they'll hate it.
This movie is an alternate take on how a love story is protrayed by Hollywood and well worth a look from that viewpoint. Solaris plays the role of working with what we already know about other people and building characters based on that information. It's completely apparent in the character of Clooney's wife and how he see's her. Without spoiling this film for those who haven't seen it, just go in knowing it's a love story and really has nothing to do with sci-fi. It being set in space is obviously a backdrop for what's really going on.

Just sit back and enjoy Soderbergh's great work.
