I was eagerly waiting for Solaris when I first heard it was announced. I really enjoy Steven Soderbergh's films and thought this would be a really great film... but it wasn't.
Critics seemed to absolutely love this movie, but most the audience seemed to think exactly what I thought about it. It was BORING. It moved so damn slow that it made a meager one hour and thirty minutes feel like a three hour movie. Sure it did make you think about life and all what is waiting for one after we die, but you're bored stiff to get this message. So I cannot give this movie a high score like Soderbergh's other films since it didn't hold my interest as well as, let's say "The Limey".
And on a personal level, I know we all deal with the death of loved ones differently. But I think Chris Kelvin (George Clooney) really, really needed to get over it. When people die, they die. There's no bringing them back.
SCORE: 5 out of 10 (average)
