Kelvin
Solaris It is the second big screen adaptation of Stanislaw Lem's seminal science fiction novel, following Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 version.

was a box-office bomb, slow-paced and proved cerebral for general audiences, but his vision is commendable.
Solaris doesn't fit the mold of the biggest budget sci-fi moviesbecause there is no action sequence. The space station and alien planet are often used as devices to heighten the personal tragedy of the story and become background details. What Solaris there is a sense of thoughtful grandeur. He doesn't use his images in space for cheap thrills. Every decision Soderbergh makes reflects Kelvin's troubled state of mind.

A Coen brothers comedy set in the glory days of old Hollywood.
