What makes is so foreign to a typical American viewer is not the language, it is the focus on humans amidst the space technology and travel.
In a typical American sci-fi film (2001 being one such example), the technology is the subject. In Solaris the technology is nothing but just the background, the setting.
Therefore anyone coming to Solaris with an expectation of seeing another Star Dreck Tropper (sorry, can't remember the title properly), albeit somewhat better, will walk away grossly disappointed.
On the other hand, anyone attuned to say, Bergman, will take to Solaris like fish to water, never mind the space station and Visitors.
Solaris is not a Russian 2001... in fact the two films share almost nothing. Solaris is much more Wild Srawberries set in next century.
