About this product

Product Information

Steven Soderbergh (OCEAN'S ELEVEN, TRAFFIC) delivers yet another inspired remake with this pensive sci-fi drama based on the book by Stanislaw Lem. Taking his cue from Russian master Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 epic of the same name, Soderbergh boldly chooses atmosphere over action, crafting a profoundly meditative work that will challenge audiences for many years to come. George Clooney plays Chris Kelvin, a therapist who is sent to a space station near the planet of Solaris in order to investigate a series of mysterious happenings. When he arrives, he finds only two surviving crew members, the hyper-strange Snow (Jeremy Davies) and ultra-paranoid Gordon (Viola Davis). Unable to make sense of their fear and confusion, Chris soon discovers the reason for their anxiety. In a seemingly implausible turn of events caused by Solaris's bizarre energy levels, Chris's deceased wife Rhea (Natascha McElhone) reappears. Fully aware that Rhea is only a figment of his memory, Chris is nonetheless unable to dismiss her due to the tragic events surrounding her death. He must somehow find a way to bid farewell to Rhea once and for all without collapsing under the weight of his own guilty conscience. Soderbergh's dream of a motion picture successfully balances philosophy with romance, telling a familiar tale of love and loss in a strikingly original way.

    If you're an S. Lem's fan - it's a must see.

    I have always been fond of S. Lem's prose. He is a kind of S.F. writer that doesn't focus too much on technology nor just mere adventures, but rather on human personality and how does it interact with the world. I remember I have read the book "Solaris", though it was quite a time ago and I can't exactly say how much the movie is faithful to the book. Nevertheless it has the Lem's spirit - that is focuses rather on human personality than on technology, which really looks as a nice background in this movie. So if you expect to see just great F/X you may be disappointed, but if you want to see something that would make you think - it may be worth seeing. Pros: A very interesting concept in general, but it's not so much about the movie - it's rather about Lem. Nice setting - not overloaded ...

    Clooney and McElhone - can't take your eyes off them!

    I wrote the following for the Criterion (Russian) version - thought it may be useful for someone considering this version also: "Conceptually, this is very original stuff. I first viewed the "Clooney" version of SOLARIS & really liked it, so borrowed Lem's English-translation book from the library & read that. Quite a difference between the two, but the basic core concept was almost achieved in the Clooney version, plus it's very stylish and the acting is frankly, superb - his finest, I think. Clooney and Natascha McElhone - can't take your eyes off them! That then made me want to see Criterion's classic Tarkovsky version, which is considerably closer in structure and content to Lem's book. However, Tarkovsky IS VERY SLOW to develop the story, and the main character - Kelvin (Donatas ...

    Closest thing to 2001: A Space Odessy...

    Solaris, an alien planet or perhaps and alien existance can show us things that we hide even from ourselves. As other reviewers have stated, this film is one that raises many questions for the open minded and those who seek knowledge of the 'beyond'. As George Cloony's characters states, 'our existance is merely a mathematical probability'...So therefore, one concludes that the existance of a place such as Solaris is also a mathematical probability...What would you confront if in that situation? This film also stars George Cloony in what I would consider his best role to date. Never over acted and not playing a rediculously over-confident character. Instead he portrays a man grounded and real, with great conviction and emotion. A very convincing role where Cloony becomes the character of ...

    Solaris 2003

    This is an excellent story, and it reminds one of "2001 Space Odyssey" in it's reach and scope. The plot revolves around possible contact with intelligent life in the void of outer space. The most interesting concepts are those that revolve around human interaction, as it is the cornerstone of the movie. It makes one examine the differences between events and how they're remembered. Superior acting and direction make this a keeper.

    An excellent version of a classic

    This is a rare example of a movie remake that is very good. Some may say that it's even better than the 1972 russian original, but I wouldn't go that far. The truth is that Steven Soderberg's Solaris it's not a remake, technically speaking, since it claims to be based on the original source (Stanislav Lem's book), as the 1972 movie was. The results are somehow different. The russian movie is slower, more philosophical, with deeper considerations about the human spirit, and what we are. The 2003 movie is more focused in less aspects, but still delivers an intelligent story that honors not only the book, but the original movie too. Somehow, it has made some aspects of the book and the russian movie more accessible, without turning them into flat depictions. Having said that, I must add ...
