I think Tarkovsky's is better than Soderbergh's, but then I first saw the Tarkovsky version in the 70's and I've seen it quite a few times since. I regard it as one of the great SF films. I think, however, that there's a fair bit of ambiguity, or at least uncertainty, in Tarkovsky compared to the Soderbergh, and the Tarkovsky is longer and much more slow moving. Not everyone's cup of whatever. I can understand some people preferring the Soderbergh.
