RE: Solaris

Posted by Rod H. on October 14, 2007 at 09:22:13:
The last time, which I believe was about the third time I saw THX1138, we watched the recent re-release. Don't get me wrong, I really *do* like the film, it's just that I get a bit picky sometimes!

My wife has tried to watch the original Tarkovsky version of Solaris three times, and each time she fell asleep during the infamous drive to the launch pad scene which goes on forever. She falls asleep when a passenger in a real car too though!

Yes, I also prefer my Sci-Fi to be more based on the clash between technology and the human mind, than the clash with space monsters.

Have you seen Gattaca? It's been a while, but IIRC it might be one you'd appreciate.
