There is no action in Solaris, but just drama, bits and pieces of romance, but overall, it's about the idea of love and loss and what we would do for that second chance. For anyone who wishes they could go back in time and reverse something that took place, or take back a decision once made, Solaris touches base with these types of themes. Soderbergh has constructed the feature in an angle where not all of it is explained, as it needs to be thought over and discussed. The director reaches a type of filmmaking that is rarely ever produced these days, as it traditionally isn't an audience favorite. Solaris is a film where a moviegoer can walk in, experience the 95 minutes unfold, and walk out asking themselves, "What the hell did I just sit through?" Solaris is likely to please any filmgoer who adores not entertainment in films, but thinking. The movie is not entertainment. It's a pack of emotions and feelings. The thing with modern day filmmaking is that movies are supposed to entertain and not really dive into what film buffs brand as the real definition of moviemaking at its best. It's the difference between the mainstream way of life and the way the intellectuals would rather have it. Solaris is extremely moody and soaked in tone. It's an opportunity for the actors to deliver their performances at the top of their game, and it's an opportunity for the script to come to life in a very quiet manner. .
In fact, going deep inside the world of Solaris and describing the emotions and reactions that come out of it is not very fulfilling, as every moviegoer is likely to have their own reactions and feelings about specific segments, bits and pieces, or just the picture as a whole. Solaris is also a unique picture in which you might feel a reaction, but you"re not sure what type of response it is. Walking out, it took me a little time to ponder on how much I liked the film. I liked it, but couldn't tell to what degree.
