rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thevoid99 - Throughout the history of science-fiction in cinema, stories were often told about the wanders of outer space sometimes through humor or in propaganda. In 1968, Stanley Kubrick changed the perception of what sci-fi could be with his adaptation of...

mvie mu-1035653: It's not easy to get rid of a memory

Sat, 12 May 2007 22:01:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DavidMac - When I was young, as in very young, I suppose you could say I was interested in science-fiction/fantasy type of stuff. Although in hindsight, it probably wasn’t high-quality material, since it was mostly of the Saturday morning crassly commercial...

mvie mu-1035653: Solaris: The Fabric of the Universe as Mirrors and Mysteries

Thu, 15 Apr 2004 21:09:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author verbatima - What is the relationship between technology and the soul? Tarkovsky's Solaris, based on Stanislaw Lem's novel by the same name, seems to offer an answer, though after viewing the movie several times, I am still struggling to define what it is...

mvie mu-1035653: Solaris: An Alien Ocean of Human Self-Exploration

Sun, 19 Jan 2003 15:03:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FauxBear - After just having finished reading the novel, I decided to plunk down my hard-earned money (at a suggested retail of $39.99!) and purchase Andrei Tarkovsky's film, Solaris in the Criterion Collection DVD edition. With such a steep asking price...

mvie mu-1035653: Review of the film, the Criterion DVD version

Thu, 26 Dec 2002 20:18:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kevyip - About the film

A frequent theme in science fiction is that humans have become so dehumanized in their devotion to technology that they have lost touch of their emotional capacities. In SOLARIS, the 1972 film by the great Russian...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author panguitch - With a George Clooney/Steven Soderbergh Solaris set to open this Thanksgiving, let’s take a look back at the first version, with special attention to the book behind them both. It’ll be interesting to see which the new version will...

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 22:16:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wadekainer - Well, seeing as how there isn't a review of the new DVD set of Solaris, I decided to put one up. I am purposefully not going into too much detail on the film or going into spoilers which can be read in other reviews. I mainly want to talk about the...

mvie mu-1035653: Good book can hardly be transformed into a good movie

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 21:06:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author inkanus - I felt somewhat reluctant to write a bad review about the movie from the author I otherwise like so much, but since I have already written about the book "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem, I decided it would be an injustice to the potential readers of...

Mon, 31 Jul 2000 10:15:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CPXB -

Solaris is the longest movie ever made. I believe that it is in fact eternally long, that it never, ever stops. I . . . fear Solaris.

When I rented this movie, it was under the presumption that this was a foreign sci-fi classic...

mvie mu-1035653: The Soviet anti-2001 ...

Fri, 10 Dec 1999 13:56:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Oedipa_Maas - The fundamental questions asked by Stanislaw Lem's Solaris are these: if we were to encounter alien intelligence--here, an entire ocean of seeming sentience--if we were to encounter the absolutely Other, how would we communicate with it? Would we even be...
