Call me crazy, but I almost preferred this to Tarkovsky's. I don't know that I think it's better (I think it might as good), but if you were to ask me on a random day which version of _Solaris_ I wanted to watch, I'd probably go with Soderbergh's. From a filmmaking standpoint, it has always irked me a little bit how not cinematic Tarkovsky's can be. It's also pretty dry. Slimming down the runtime to less than 100 minutes, you get nearly the same impact of Tarkovsky's behemoth and don't lose a whole lot, in my opinion. I'm pretty big on Soderbergh so I might be a bit biased, but the way he frames things captivates me.

Interesting plot. What the main character's dream of comes to life. I think too weird for the mainstream audience. This movie was well liked but made no money.

Film 70 (Goal: 300) of 2024 I know I'm in the minority here but boy did I dislike this film. I just couldn't get into it from the get go. This remake (though supposedly more accurate to the novel) of Tarkovsky's 1972 film preaches big concepts about life, death, humanity, reality - all commonly explored themes in sci-fi films but it's all beneath a slow, plodding experience. This may be one I make my way back to at another time, but at no point was I hooked. I knew what the film was laying out but I just didn't care for the journey. Again though - I'm in the minority. Dialogue, score and visuals are all pretty good.

For brilliant philosophical Sci-fi, just watch the original. If you want a much more shallow but still watchable movie, watch this.

This film is very dreamy and has a 2001 feel. The story is romantic and lends itself to an inevitable doom. The music is intertwined beautifully and the acting is phenomenal.
