Beautifully shot and the most intelligent alien film I've ever seen. Still, I feel some of it was over the top. Does anyone know if the 2002 version with George Clooney is worth watching?


It is.

Though the original SOLARIS was taxing with that infamous Moscow traffic stock footage*, there is something profound with it that isn't as much with the remake.

But the remake is really darn good on its own, I must say.

*=Which supposedly, its director placed so to "weed out the stupids."
