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.
