***1/2 – Sometime in the future (exactly how far in the future is not made entirely clear), George Clooney is a psychologist/astronaut who is sent on a mission to investigate some unexplained goings-on aboard a ship orbiting the planet Solaris. While the movie is beautifully shot and designed, I found it somewhat disappointing that it turned out to be more of a psychological drama in a sci-fi setting rather than a flat-out science fiction film. Be that as it may, I still thought it was pretty entertaining to watch despite some slow parts and an overabundance of unclothed Clooney butt. This movie is a remake of a Russian film from the 1970s, and assuming the plot of the original (which I have not seen) was relatively unchanged for this version, I now see the movie “Star Trek Generations” in an even less flattering light than I did before.
