Solaris [2002]
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Actor: George Clooney, Natascha McElhone
My first interaction I had with this film was with its website, which is pretty good, and with its soundtrack, which is even better. The story reeked of Event Horizon, which it really isn’t. It deals with similar things, but Event Horizon is done somuch better. Also, Solaris is a love drama, whereas Event Horizon is a horror/thriller. Another book/film that this movie borrows from heavily is Michael Crichton’s Sphere, but as it doesn’t measure up to Event Horizon, here Solaris also falls short.
Mediocre film, though stunningly done, with an excellent soundtrack.
