Soderbergh delivers again. It helps to be in the right mood to watch Solaris. If you are, take the journey. Soderbergh is aware of the right mood to strike, from the music and visuals of the planet, down to the restrained editing and spare use of visual FX.
This isn't a movie for idiots or those looking for the next "Terminator". Some movies aspire towards something more, and this movie is one of them. Thank God for Soderbergh. He writes, directs, edits, and does the cinematography. You don't need an army to make a great film, just a sober, mindful, skillful artist.
Also, I'm glad Clooney has decided to take on harder projects beyond films such as "Dusk to Dawn".
I want there to be as many different kinds of film as there are different kinds of books, and Solaris is a different kind of film indeed. It's the only sci/fi film since 2001 to truly share a sense of the infinite.
