this comment be on behalf of everyone who have watch soderbergh solaris and do not like it and be tell they do not like it because they haven not read the book or see the original . i have not read the book or see the original and and i do not like it . a movie and even one intend to provoke thought and debate and shouldn not rely on it basis for enjoyment . i have never read clockwork orange and a batman comic or ring and but i enjoy all those movie a great deal . it must be say that the ideology present in this film be immense . the notion of regret and second chance and fear of the unknown be skillfully put forward and especially the philosophy that a physical manifestation of an object or be and no matter how accurate and isn not necessarily the object it represent . rheya question this and chris refusal to debate it due to his scientific value be the highlight . unfortunately and outside of this scene and solaris lack anything . character and progression and empathy . chris be almost emotionless and this render his character ( a low point for clooney ) isolate from empathy . there be no spark between him and the audience . rheya be dull and undesirable and hence uncomfortable to watch for too long . there be no standout performance in solaris . the idea of regret and second chance in a science fiction film ( the deepest and most thought provoke genre ) seem dangerously trivial in comparison to value in bladerunner and 2001 and invasion of the bodysnatchers among others . overall and solaris be a huge disappointment . there be no climax and the film be far too slow move to incite any interest . the value and debate be terrific and it be just a shame that there isn not a great narrative or performance to go with them .
