Pick of the Week: "Solaris" (2002) DVD
Steven Soderbergh's Solaris is sci-fi without action sequences, razzle-dazzle special effects, or gee-whiz high-tech gadgetry, but I found the movie to be very intellectually engaging. Read a full length review of Solaris on DVD.

Pick of the Week: "Solaris" (1972) DVD
There is almost no action in Tarkovsky’s Solaris, and the special effects are unimpressive. But I find this film extremely thought-provoking and hypnotically resonant. To my mind, this movie is cerebral science fiction at its very best because of the humanistic and moral issues it explores. Read a full-length review of Solaris on DVD.
