I didn’t see the [i]Solaris[/i] movie. I didn’t [b]know[/b] there was a movie. [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] I read the book by Stanisùaw Lem. It’s a real page-turner! The setup is great, the only problem is an overly depressing and macabre ethos, expecially toward the end, and some plot flaws. But it was a good, exciting read, and I’d recommend it to any sci-fi fan (unless you suffer from depression). You have to read a couple paragraphs two or three times to understand what is being said, though. It’s a little complicated and more than a little arcane.
Maybe it was one of those movies that butchered the book’s originalplot. [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]
