I think the same things that bothered you bothered me about Gattaca, but I just chose to just let it go.
The remake of Solaris got a bad rap I think. People who loved the original tended to bash it because it was, well, a remake and a hurry-up abbreviated version at that. People who had never seen the original thought the remake was slow!
They both carry the same powerful message.
