S O L A R I S: One of the WORST. MOVIES. EVER?

[Placebo]

I've had this movie on since about 10:30 and I still have absolutely no idea what it is about or where it's going.

1. Right on target. I kept hoping it would get so bad it would fall into

"Valley of the Dolls" territory, you know so bad its good. This one just stunk up the house. I'll never know what else I could have done for that two hours.

[Fenris]

2. The original is good.

That, however, was crap.

[Guaranteed]

4. Yeah, I know people who really love that first one...

Smart people, too.

Never seen it, myself, though.

3. I don't know...

I never saw it, but I saw the original movie and that made me alternate between yawning and scratching my head...

6. I thought I was the only one who had seen the original Russian version...

Great movie. Different from the book which is truly a can't-put-it-down read, and slow but a beautiful work of art.

5. I enjoyed it

7. Got me thinking, one much worse: "The Revolutionary" w/John Voight

Well, that's not Voight...but the movie totally sucked. Made you angrier with each minute. Solaris, while truly bad, did not induce a full sense of existential dread accompanied by a repressed panic.

[0rganism]

8. Riddle me this. Stanislaw Lem wrote about 100 solid sci-fi books...

...yet for some reason, the only one Hollywood -- with its nearly infinite budgets -- can adapt for film is the one for which Tarkovsky already did a definitive version?

This remake was doomed from the second it was conceived.

[Placebo]

10. But if James Cameron attaches his name to a movie...

it's got to succeed, right?

RIGHT?!?!

:scared:

9. the woman was so annoying it distracted me

11. Solaris

More than an operating system!

12. Welcome to DU!

Even though you joined weeks ago I still get to say it. :hi:

13. Not a complete waste of time

Clooney's naked ass made up for the rest of it.

:evilgrin:

[Placebo]

14. Well you can save yourself the time any money...

and just find pics of that online, i'm shure. ;)

15. Have them framed on my bedroom ceiling
