Additional InformationSteven Soderbergh (OCEAN'S ELEVEN, TRAFFIC) delivers yet another inspired remake with this pensive sci-fi drama based on the book by Stanislaw Lem. Taking his cue from Russian master Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 epic of the same name, Soderbergh boldly chooses atmosphere over action, crafting a profoundly meditative work that will challenge audiences for many years to come. George Clooney plays Chris Kelvin, a therapist who is sent to a space station near the planet of Solaris in order to investigate a series of mysterious happenings. When he arrives, he finds only two surviving crew members, the hyper-strange Snow (Jeremy Davies) and ultra-paranoid Gordon (Viola Davis). Unable to make sense of their fear and confusion, Chris soon discovers the reason for their anxiety. In a seemingly implausible turn of events caused by Solaris's bizarre energy levels, Chris's deceased wife Rhea (Natascha McElhone) reappears. Fully aware that Rhea is only a figment of his memory, Chris is nonetheless unable to dismiss her due to the tragic events surrounding her death. He must somehow find a way to bid farewell to Rhea once and for all without collapsing under the weight of his own guilty conscience. Soderbergh's dream of a motion picture successfully balances philosophy with romance, telling a familiar tale of love and loss in a strikingly original way.
ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...What it does most of all is reinforce Steven Soderbergh's position as Hollywood's most gifted chameleon, a filmmaker able to operate with elan in all manner of genres..., Variety - ...Technically superb and features a strong serious performance by George Clooney..., Box Office - ...A uniquely dazzling display of its maker's cinematic virtuosity..., New York Times - ...Visually handsome in an austere way..., USA Today - ...Clooney does a convincing job....Davies is also strong....Soderbergh does a fine job of creating a moody atmosphere of pervasive anxiety..., Rolling Stone - ...SOLARIS is a mind-bender in the best sense of the word: The spell it casts follows you all the way home..., Entertainment Weekly - ...Sleekly austere....McElhone is certainly someone to pine for -- there are depths to her apple-cheeked sculptural beauty...

Solaris - a slow squib for me ;(
I enjoy science fiction, special effects, good scripts/stories. I'd read several other reviews, all enthusiastic, before choosing to buy this film - think I must have the more boring version as I wasn't entertained very much. Natascha McElone is a stunningly beautiful, ethereal character whilst George Clooney doesn't give a powerful enough performance for me. I've seen him do better in other projects. And the young guy acting unbalanced was quite annoying - and I have met genuinely unbalanced people (some in my family) so I'm not being uncaring. I also think that a lot of footage ended up on the cutting room floor, this seems to be lacking 'something' and I won't bother watching it again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of the best Sci-fi's ever made.
No guns or high adrenaline chases but what a film! Something to savour when you have a bit of peace and the time to enjoy it properly, like a fine wine! I would suggest watching it twice. Atmospheric, makes you think, fantastic soundtrack, quite disturbing, you won't forget it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
