Review

Man goes to the space station what is near a strange planet Solaris. There is already three other people on that space station, but when arrives there he hear that one of them - a friend of him - has committed a suicide. Also there seems to be more people than there should have been and it does not take long when his own death wife arrives there as well. She is not dead, neither a hallucination but something what the planet Solaris created reading his mind. She is not a human either tho since her blood is not same than humans. Strange things happens on this place and what is true and what is not remains a mystery on some levels.

I find this movie fascinating. Story was interesting and it had nice philosphical questions about being a human. Even it was a deep and complex story its story had a quite clear plot so it was easy watch and follow but still the more it developed the more confusing it got on some parts about the reality of existence.

This movie was worth the watch and it would be intersting to see some another time as well.
