Solaris moved so slowly that my wife went to sleep on it! [Note: She wasn't that tired before we started watching it and the movie wouldn't have ended later than we normally stay up. FTR, she's an author of numerous fiction books who has great patience with movies and a keen eye for good story telling.] After apologizing for wasting her time I recommended that she go ahead and go to bed while I stuck it out. Well, after 30 more minutes (i.e., just a little over an hour into the movie) I threw in the towel as well. Sorry, Mick, but we found this film to be very DULL and neither of us require "laser cannon fire" or "explosions in space" to keep our attention (BTW, about the only cute aliens I relish watching are females wearing very little extraterestrial make-up and tight clothing). Now I realize that Solaris is supposed to be a classic of Soviet literature, but sometimes even the best stories just don't translate all that well to film.AuPh
