"Solaris - George Clooney movie"

Yes, I saw it. And yes, I want a refund.

What a load of pap. Rarely does one come across a plot so slow in motion, and so thin on worthwhile plotpoints.

It was like a bad, albeit long, episode of The Outer Limits, except for the lovey dovey cop-out ending.

Seriously, if your girlfriend wants to see this because of the "Clooney factor", just say no. You'll come out wishing you'd never gone in.

Utter load of boring pap.

Oh my, you are quite the rebel.

;D

It wasn't the greatest movie I've ever seen, but I thought it was okay. Could have probably predicted that if you're the kind of person who throws maltesers at the projector you wouldn't have liked it.

That McElhone woman was begining to freak me out a bit though. There's something kind of strange about the shape of her face and I couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

*SPOILERS*

Clooney: I must go to space, to see what's wrong. So, what it wrong?
Bloke: Yeah. You'll find out soon enough.
Wifey: Look, tis I, your dead wife!
Clooney: EGADS! Out the airlock with you!
*wifey gets thrown out into space*
Wifey: I'm back
Token Black woman: Clooney just popped you out of an airlock
*wifey commits suicide*
*wifey revives*
Token Black woman: we can kill her with this thing I just made up
Clooney: No, I won't let you kill my dead wife
*Token Black woman kills Clooney's dead wife*
Clooney: Damn you!
Bloke: Oh, I'm not a real person. Yeah, and the ships about to crash into the luminescant planet over yonder.
Token Black woman: RUN!!
Clooney: Nah, I'll stay here and welcome oblivion
Wifey: Yay, now we're back together forever.

End.


Anyone who wants to waste 90 minutes watching that load of drivel is welcome to it.

Apparently the problem is that it is sold as a sci fi when in fact it is more like a love story.

c.b.

You know that any Sci Fi with Clooney in it will be fairly poor.

I thought that looked quite good as well.

It looks like one of those movies you either love or hate.
Jonathan Ross, whose opinion I respect and admire most of the time, seemed to like it, but the fact that he was sitting opposite George Clooney probably swayed his opinion...

Hello. Haven't been in this forum for months.

The best way to stop other people being tortured in the same way you were is to go to the cinema and rip up/burn the reel

:-D
