...Directed by Steven Soderbergh. With George Clooney, Natascha McElhone, Viola Davis this film is an adaptation of Stanislaw Lem’s novel, which had already been made into a movie in 1972 by Andrei Tarkovsky. The plot revolves around Chris Kelvin (Clooney), a psychologist still grieving for his late wife (Natascha McElhone) who is summoned by an old friend (Ulrich Tukur) to the mysterious planet Solaris, where strange phenomena have been happening soon after he arrives Kelvin finds himself face to face with his dead wife Rheya....
... I loved the film, the chemistry between Cloney and McElhone is fantastic the story unconventional but interesting. For those who like alot of action a word of warning, you won't find to much shit blowing up in this one or even a laser blasters for that matter. This is what I like to refer to as an adult Sci-fi film, a thinking mans film. Soderbergh, acting as writer, director and cinematographer (under the pseudonym Peter Andrews) has made a very brainy, non-commercial movie that much is certain. Some may not like it as the pacing can be a bit slow, but the look, that character development and the story more than make up for it. I have this one in my collection... of course that ain't sayin much, I have everything in my collection, that aside I highly recommend this film, it's nice to see an original idea that doesn't get too artsy, I hate pretentious artsy crap...
