Review of Solaris (2002) by Alexander D — 11 Feb 2012
Steven Soderbergh has worked as the director for a wide variety of movies. After making his career breakthrough in 1989 with SEX, LIES & VIDEOTAPE, he moved on to direct all the way from a light-hearted heist comedy, OCEANâ(TM)S ELEVEN, to a heavy thriller about disease, CONTAGION. SOLARIS falls somewhere between heavy and light-hearted. Itâ(TM)s not an intense, violent understudy about space, nor is it a light-hearted romp around the moon and whatnot.
George Clooney proves once again that when it comes to acting, he simply cannot go wrong. He has embellished the usual personality onto his character: suave and charming (making it easy to believe him with a woman as attractive as Natascha McElhone), yet with a subtle tendency to go all-out hot-headed. He, of all actors and actresses, stands out among the visually-adept but action-lacking film.
