Sorry, but the film does not go beyond a child asking some primitive questions

Both the book and film are incredibly shallow in that regard, not giving much to chew on. The mere fact those issues may be mentioned does not mean anything in itself. Their treatment is superficial, and the movie is indeed NOT about them, it is, as Patrick correctly stated, just an eye candy for the sixties crowd.

The Solaris, OTOH, is about what makes us human, and the study is deep and tortuous, placing the film into an entirely different category.

I stopped being fascinated with machinery in books and on screen when I left my teenage years, and instead slowly developed an appreciation for human emotions, sufferings, feelings, etc... all the things that are absent in the 2001.
