Solaris is a film that will either enrapture or level you behind. Psychologist Chris Kelvin is pleaded by old friend Gibarian, to fly from earth to space station Prometheus, where something terrible has happened. Prometheus orbits around the beautifully enigmatic planet Solaris. On arrival, Kelvin discovers scattered blood and two bodies, along with the only two survivors; Gordon and Snow. Solaris is a hushed, introspective film on the boundaries of human mental stability, isolation, loss, existence, the power of a high being, and emotional withdraws of letting go. Images and silence speak louder than words; echoing 2001: A Space Oddessy, where piercing stares tell all that is needed.
The mystery of Solaris lies upon the enigmatic planet, Soderbergh only supplying little hints and clues leading to what is behind this majestic planet; strengthening the fact this demands repeat views and open thinking. The emotional drama is gripping, as Kelvin is haunted on the apparition of his deceased wife, flashes of Kelvin's memories during his time with Rheya, and the unseen visitors of Gordon and Snow. Much to the vast cold of space, Solaris seeps a coldness from its core, that bars an emotional detachment. A haunting ambiance lacking in spine chilling. Not completing the emotional bridge, a central presence of George Clooney, holds a gravitas to the proceedings. Natascha McElhone doesn't reach Clooney's presence yet haunting as Rheya. Viola Davis and Jeremy Davies as the remaining survivors are great in their supporting roles. Solaris may not be everyones brand of Scince Fiction, on its conclusion, your need to talk about it is quite strong, which is the films overall point.
