Solaris (2002)
Whoa -- two "is she dead or what" movies in a row. Weird.
Atmospheric story of a man grieving his dead wife and being asked to go to a space station studying Solaris -- because, as his friend already there tells him, he possesses unique history that makes him particularly suited to experience it.
It's a weird place. Something's going on that's not normal. The tension is delicious -- the mood just right. Clooney finds out first-hand what the deal is the next day when he wakes up in his quarters to find his wife beside him.
I liked the look and the feel...I liked the premise...and I liked the acting. But, somehow, the idea of the film winds up being much more intriguing than the execution. It's beautiful but hollow.
