odd movie

Not my type of movie, and pretty boring. Maybe some people will like it but this was for me one of the worst movies.

If it wasn't for George Clooney's performance, this movie would be a complete waste of time. This movie was so boring, dull and uninspiring that I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. I had a real hard time getting into this and if you don't get into this right away, stop and watch something else or your just not going to like this.

Really good film. Had an overall feel of being just slightly out of phase with reality, slightly precarious and dream like. Just great at being atmospheric.

Visually awesome, camerawork is special but good in most scenes, too bad the story's a bit f***ed up. From the moment that one burnt person (can't remember name) came up, the only way was down with this film..

1/5

No, no, no. Crap

Yeah it's wonderfully shot, it's nightmarish and all that. but it's just plain boring and almost uninteresting. The characters lack any charm, and the movie just felt cold.

An excellent existential/nihilstic examination of humanity and life in general. This was far more thought provoking than I ever imagined it was going to be. This has given me the incentive to look out the original and the book (neither seen nor read). Well worth a look and people shouldn't be put of by the Sci-Fi tag, as this film doesn't need to be pigeon-holed into that genre. Clooney was excellent (as he almost always is), and I think that Davies was almost perfect in his role.

Wonderfully atmospheric and very well made, this is a gem of a sci-fi. Clooney is nothing short of brilliant and the support cast also back him up pretty well. The supurb soundtrack only adds to the unusual and creepy feeling this movie creates as Soderbergh puts his own spin on the also excellent 1972 original. A generally excellent balance of the surreal and existential, this is an expertly paced piece of high-concept short story sci-fi. Underrated.

This second interpretation of Solaris is a failure but an admirable one. It does suffer from a single character, whose reinterpretation as being spaced out in his acting feels out of place in such a serious film, and while Soderbergh nearly succeeds in making the film half the length of Andrei Tarkovsky's, it really needed to be restructured slightly. Nonetheless, its one of the few Soderbergh films of real merit for me, with a fleshed out emotional core that is fitting for the film's ideas.
