Watch Solaris For Free

How sad is this?

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Stanislaw Lem's Solaris is a highly regarded book and Andrei Tarkovsky's film adaption is pretty much spot on, though Tarkovsky being an auteur brings his own touch to the proceedings. The story is about a cosmonaut who is sent to a space station revolving around a mysterious planet in the future. The cinematography and production design are haunting- the spaceship is so different than what we usually see in Hollywood. The acting is restraint and works here. Some people have said there is a sense of pretentiousness and rightfully so as some scenes go on way too long. But hey, this is Tarkovsky we speak of. This is one of the finest hard science fiction films and you should see it at any cost.

I watched it when I was a child and lived in Russia and my British boyfriend expressed an interest so we decided to give it a go. Well we survived all movie. At times it was even interesting. And we kept reminding ourselves that it was shot in 70s and was innovative and progressive back then. But boy was it long. It was very very very long. We are not used to that slow and long any more. World spins faster nowadays and movies are faster. I don't think I'd inflict this movie on any of my British friends unless they express an interest. Myself I won't watch it again. Too slow for my liking.

it is easy to say - a film by Andrei Tarkovski. symbols, poetry of image, old and great themes . and the need of discover yourself. but, like each film by Tarkovski, "Solaris" is not exactly a film of its director but the film of its public. a kind of mirror, in which you recognize crumbs from the novel by Lem and the fight to reconquest the pillars of the past. a past like the only certitude. the film is a masterpiece not only for the artistic reasons. but for the science to become, scene by scene, a personal story. a story about testimony and about the impact with truth about love as only tool for ignore the death and the fundamental choice. as a form of revelation. and as remind. about refuges and meanings and truth.
