Guide Review - Solaris (2002) DVD ReviewSolaris (2002) 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. Set sometime in the future, its about the romantic love between a man (George Clooney) and a facsimile of his deceased wife (Natascha McElhone). A major character in the film is a planet that functions like a giant, single living organism having consciousness and intelligence. This is a cerebral movie, and I fear viewers wanting a highly emotional experience may be disappointed. I expect those who arent already familiar with the Solaris story will find the 2002 film hard to understand on first viewing, but on DVD you can watch it repeatedly. |
