What to say about Solaris? A truly haunting and wonderful film. This film depicts the journey of Chris Kelvin (George Clooney) to a space station near the planet Solaris. What is the most appealing thing about this film? For me it is that this film leaves one with deep questions to ponder. In the end it all depends on how much patience you have when you are watching a film. Patience is key here, because Solaris takes time. The plot is slow to develop and there are parts of the movie which seem to drag on. If you are a fan of Stanley Kubrick, then it is quite likely that you will enjoy this film. But, as the film says "There are no answers, only choices." Do I recommend this film? I will answer with a question. How much spare time do you have? Join me next week as we look at Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Lovely Bones.
