Upon arrival at the space station shows that this is expired and poorly maintained. In addition, the two surviving scholars are strange and distant. There seems to be an alien intelligence to life in the ocean of the planet, because the scientists tell of strange events on the base. They say the ocean is able to fulfill their wishes. Kris also sees people on the base that there shouldn't be, and he hears strange noises. Also, it becomes clear that the deceased scientists committed suicide.

Kris then runs his dead wife Hari (played by Natalya Bondarchuk) bump, and it becomes clear that these alien intelligence should not be underestimated. From disbelief, he tries to kill her first, but this fails. Initially she seems just a product of his memories, but she is getting ', however, ' until they no longer like real ones, despite the fact that she has no memories to the period before her ' Resurrection '. Kris renews his bond with her and begins to treat her as a real person.

The events seem to be a way of communicating the planet, perhaps in response to an x-ray scan of the planet that previously took place. The "visitors" are made ofneutrino's and are manifestations of imagined or real people from the minds of the residents of the base.

At the end of the film seems Kris back to Earth, while it is also possible that he enters in a simulation of the Earth such as that provided by Solaris is created. ==Background[ Edit] == The original book Solaris by Stanislaw Lem is part of a trilogy about communication (the chosen metaphor is the contact with extraterrestrial entities). The Director of the film, however, takes a pragmatic attitude: themes are the boundaries of the know (with as subthemes farewell and loss of the well known) and the reality behind the reality, the subjectivity of observations. Compared to current movies are the dialogues fairly ' dry ', and the film as a whole is wordy.

Some characterize Solaris as the answer to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey .

Despite this shorter length, the film was not a success – with George Clooney in the lead role was a science fiction action movieexpected and not a movie in Soderbergh's thoughtful style based on Stanislaw Lems introspective book. ==Comparison<span class="mw-editsection" len="333" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p lang="en" len="281" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Also in the film Contact meets a space traveler in the universe a deceased family member (her father).
