Short Movie Review: Solaris
After O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Good Night, and Good Luck, I figured that it might be worth checking out a movie that I knew only as “George Clooney—IN SPACE!” It was a little dull at times, but not as bad as critics made it out to be, in my opinion. Sometimes disturbing, sometimes pretty, with interesting use of music without other sound, versus sound without music. It could’ve made a better thriller than a love story if it had received just a small nudge here and there, followed up on the creepy stuff just a little better. (I was a little disappointed that nobody ever grinned to reveal a mouthful of fangs.) After reading a little bit more about it and how it compares to the novel, I suspect I would have found the book even less interesting, and I like my (creepier) interpretation of the ending better than the one that the director probably intended.
