letting it go

That's the thing that separates the weat from the chaff in my view - when one doesn't keep getting hit with things to just let go. Don't get me wrong; I still really liked 'Gattaca' - I bought it after renting it and have watched it several times since. In many respects, it's the perfect scifi movie - great drama. In all other respects, the plot is cohesive and the concepts being probed are important and immediate.

Believe it or not, I have never seen the original 'Solaris' - a situation I need to redress (and I shall). I rarely care for remakes - they rarely capture the essence of the originals. I have no idea how well the version I saw mirrored its namesake, but I was completely absorbed by it. I suppose it is a love story in a science fiction film, but that aspect of it didn't smack you in the face - part of the charm of having it told via flashbacks. I loved the substory of the quirky crewmember (or is he?(Snow?)) and the actor's performance of it. I'm rambling though...yeah, powerful film.
