Of course the slow pace didn't bother me, IN ITSELF. Problem was what filled it was not too well done. In Solaris it was important, here you felt they had to fill the gaps.Let me clarify my reaction - I was more upset because I was expecting more, not because of the absulute merit of the film.
On its own it is a solid and highly professional work, albeit boring. I was simply expecting more, so perhaps my judgement was colored by this fact.
It is certainly good that film was made, and it is much better than perhaps 98% of films we get each year. It's just that it didn't have the grab.
Too late on Lost... it is already in the plan! :-( Shake in your boots!
