In Reply to: Science Fiction as the complete opposite of Star Wars.. posted by gware on October 15, 2002 at 06:16:52:
... doesn't make Solaris high art any more than it makes Star Wars low art. They are entirely different types of films although arguably both fall within the genre of science fiction. IMHO, "art cinema" doesn't have to plod along at a snail's pace unless that's your preference. You have equated, mistakingly, my distaste for boredom as a singular preference for "action" films, which is an unfortunate stereotyping of my tastes. While I do like some action-oriented SF, there are many good science fiction films with little or no action (i.e., at least externalized action in the form of wall-to-wall explosions, chases, combat, etc.). I find good character-driven science fiction is often anything but boring.Internalized, thought provoking science fiction films, such as Charley (based on the Daniel Keyes short story "Flowers for Algernon"), Silent Running, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, A Clockwork Orange, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, etc., while definitely the exception, have managed to avoid the Sominex warning label in spite of a non-reliance on FX to carry their message; OTOH, the Russian filmed version of Solaris is a real snoozer, IMO.
But, what the hey, it's just one man's viewpoint, right?
