***For someone who actually did - it is even worse than the Tarkovsky' version.See - another vote in favor of Tark over the new one! :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Follow Ups:
I read the book when I was a teenager and as the movie was being made I kept watching the news with anticipation - perhaps you are too young to remember (?), but there was plenty of coverage at that time. Since the novel was my top favorite sci-fi book at the time (together with Lem's other work - the Invincible), my friends and I went to see it right away and I loved it back then. Of course, I was still young then. But seeing it several times more later I fell even more in love with it.So at least in my case there has not been that book-film animosity.
I was 7 when the film was released. I read the book around 15 and only saw the movie few years later. I love Lem only little less than my most favorite sci-fi authors - The Brothers (Strugatski), and "Solaris" is my favorite book of his.
Probably this is why I was not too impressed with Tarkovsky's version. Of course, he did not destroy "Solaris" same way he did with "Piknik on the sidewalk", but he did change a lot and I was very disappointed because of this.
