Remaking
a successful but gloomy art-house film by Andrei Tarkovsky
would appear a dangerous endeavour, but Soderbergh carries
off in stylish fashion the tale of psychologist Chris Kelvin
(Clooney) travelling to the troubled Prometheus space station
to investigate the suicide of a crew member. The planet
Solaris creates seemingly flesh-and-blood people from the
memories and desires of the occupants of Prometheus, creating
a danger to rational life on Earth. As much philosophy as
science fiction, the film is concerned with questions of
identity, time, memory and the relationship between mind
and body. It is also an absorbing love story
