Solaris


My review
Very interesting concept that wasn't realised to its full potential. Quite slow moving, it shows elements of brilliance without being thoroughly entertaining. Maybe too intelligent for its own good, it definitely requires a very thinking viewer.
Plot overview
A psychologist is sent to a space station orbiting a planet called Solaris to investigate the death of a doctor and the mental problems of cosmonauts on the station. He soon discovers that the water on the planet is a type of brain which brings out repressed memories and obsessions.
