Since there's no budget for me to watch them fancy remakes I Decided to get a Copy of  the critically acclaimed first-adaptation of the popular novel by Stanislaw Lem.

Solyaris is an ocean planet located fuck knows where , this appears to be first Contact the human race made with extraterrestrial life that is not requiring woman , yogurt and caramel and let me tell you this almost as good as (temporary), A Space Station orbiting Solaris with Solaris inhabiting it.

From the moment the film rolled I didn't know what I got myself into, mostly because majority of the reactions I collected about it  from the surrounding were large chunk of negative especially from those who watched it then in the 70s in the Union of the Soviets .. and reads the novel.

Which puts us into a situation here... perhaps the best example of a disputable masterpiece almost as Lord of the Rings is now (even though it's high praised by the fans) and how was David Lynch's Dune in 1984, first there's no film better of quality to this coming from the soviet union in the science fiction genre, The book can be superior to it in many ways ,but in words you can't present emotions words don't provide the body motion , facial expressions quiet scenery showed to you with a background noise and atmospheric music.

There are few issues I would like to address additionally : perhaps it's the DVD quality that made me doubt if what I see was really shot in the Soviet Union of the 70s or was it the style that disconnected it perhaps of our world and gave it the magic touch, the left hand touch you see in Kubrik's 2001 and the right hand of David Lynch .. there are even Midgets there for god's sake. wonder if the Doctor there had gay relationships with midgets what brought the midgets on the base , a very entertaining moment I bet I didn't Spoil.

Midgets are sure issues but issues aren't no midgets , This is a movie that is Defiantly ahead of it's time unless Tarkovsky done anything else of that style and content at the time or before it, shamely this is the first film of his I watch and am aware about it as his work.

But could it be that what was ahead of it's time in the United States (Odyssey 2001)could be not in the Soviet Union (Solaris)? can it be that people who got the less "freedom" tend to have more open minds ?

Maybe , Maybe not.

Remember Solaris tests your humanity and is playing dirty tricks with you it's worthy to give in but is it worthy to fight ?
