In Reply to: How much better is the original Solyaris from... posted by mpathus on April 29, 2009 at 19:18:46:
Funny, the English-language version of the Stanislaw Lem book is a re-translation from a translation into French, and it still packs the power that makes Solaris the Moby Dick of science fiction writing.
The film versions contain maybe 15 per cent of the book's content (and the novel is actually not all that many pages). The ending of the book is one of the best pieces of writing you can read.
Neither film compares, though both have their good points.
