Kelvin gets back
not his dead wife, but a being in flesh and blood reconstructed from his
own memories - who knows everything about his dead wife and shares memories
with him. Although he realises that his wife is not a reality, to destroy
her would be inhuman. So instead of solving the mystery, he becomes rapt
in it.. lured at the prospect of getting a second chance in his life.
The movie shot beautifully, presents a painful
paradox out of the real life. It explores issues of mortality, God and
eternity. 'Solaris' is a story of romance extending beyond the grave and
it is exploration of a vast cosmic mystery. The couples earlier life is
shown in glimpses as flashback. Due to the nature of the plot most part
of the story is a repeat of the original. Like any other science fiction,
this movie also run on great imaginations and big ideas. George Clooney
and Natascha McElhone give elegant performances.
There are a lot of questions left unanswered.
If you are a Sci-Fic lover, you will enjoy this movie otherwise don't
waste your time and money.
