If Solaris hit the spot, these will too

Extraterrestrial technology is the engine of both
The difference: Missing the dream logic of Solaris

Andrei Tarkovsky directing both, with the same fingerprints on each

Both land stillness and ideas at once

Extraterrestrial technology sits at the heart of each
The difference: 25 years apart, and the 1990s show

The same mix in both: twists, then melancholy
The difference: Plays it as fantasy more than Solaris does

Contemplative drama in both cases
The difference: A 2000s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Both circle space travel and astronaut

Science fiction built on ideas, twice over

Both built around loss of sense of reality

1970s runs into hallucination in each of them

Both trade on dream logic more than on being mystery

Twisty drama, and it commits to that
In the mood for more contemplative?
