Audience Member I had anxiety the entire time. 5 stars! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Blu B This is something that isn't for everyone. If your a fan of Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, or very thought provoking idealogical films than you'll enjoy this. The best way to describe this is if someone took the direction of Kubrick and themes of a Lynch movie and merged them together you'd get this. There is virtually no action, laughs, or thrills in the entire film. Everything is designed to make you think and provoke thoughts for the entire runtime. It is very haunting, beautiful to look at, and lulls you into a hypnotic dreamlike state pondering on these ideas as the slow burn progresses. To discuss all the themes in such a short review doesn't do it justice but it mainly explroes what is humanity and reality in a myraid of ways. The only issues are while the pacing and editing is very good and makes full use of its runtime it perhaps could've sped things up a little bit here and there as there really isn't that much of a climax in this but rather just incredibly consistent the entire way. Some scenes defintely could be cut down also but it's so well directed and succeeds at putting you deep into thought it doesn't really matter. Despite getting top merits of a All Time Classic, this isn't for everyone. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Jonathan G As my final feature I watch from Tarkovsky, I was extremely excited to finally watch "Solaris", and it did not disappoint. This film has one of the greatest screenplays know to film history, and it's beautiful and raw nature is just irresistible. The world Tarkovsky created for this is rich, mysterious, and unique; and the visuals just bring it up even further as one of my favorite science fiction films of all time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Ace W While it felt very long on my first viewing as a child, I came to appreciate the unique aesthetic and deep essence of Tarkovsky's artistic touch. The historical context of this film within Soviet filmography is a stunning reminder of the ingenuity and creative soul of Andrei, Yusov, and many others under a bumbling Hobbesian principality in all but its name. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Gracie C Although those film brings forth interesting perspectives on alien life, the drawn out earth section of the film seemed superfluous and did not add a lot. You could just as well start the film ~1 hour in and have a better watching experience. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review Alec B Its a good companion piece to Kubrick's 2001, simply because the two films explore opposing places using the science fiction genre. The final moments of this film are something that require much reflection as the implications are boundless. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
