Solaris - Our review of the feature film [November 2002]
Solaris may not have exploding starships, rampaging cyborgs or a three-digit body count, but it has two things most "sci-fi" films don't have: a heart and a brain.

 Movie Poop Shoot - Film Flam Flummox
Steven Soderbergh's 2002 SOLARIS is most certain to leave many an audience disappointed, particularly those encountering this material for the first time.
On initial glances, the new SOLARIS can also strike one as being as chilly and distant as those outer reaches of the universe, but like the planet of the title, the real story is churning deep beneath its surface: those deep, untamed passions that simultaneously excite and frighten--and refuse to be denied.
One of the things that this SOLARIS doesn't share with its predecessor is a mammoth running time.

Its importance as an early science-fiction film was that it served as a precursor and inspiration to Universal's Frankenstein (1931) film and many other plots of sci-fi films (with mad scientists, superhuman androids, Gothic elements, and the evil effects of technology).
Beginning in the 80s, science fiction began to be feverishly populated by noirish, cyberpunk films, with characters including cyber-warriors, hackers, virtual reality dreamers and druggies, and underworld low-lifers in nightmarish, un-real worlds (i.e.,

 Study Guide for Stanislaw Lem: Solaris (1961)
The pared-down 2002 version by Steven Soderbergh keeps amazingly close--for a Hollywood film--to Lem's original themes and ideas, but its emotional inertness (particularly on the part of George Clooney) prevents it from having the full effect intended.
Lem studied medicine, and was probably taken by the name when he encountered it in his anatomical studies.
During the Soviet era, Polish writer Stanislaw Lem was the most celebrated SF author in the Communist world.
