Rating: 5/10 (26 February 2004)

I cant beleive i actually fell for the publicity and the hype regarding this movie and ordered it on region 1 thinking i needed to see it while it was still at the theatres in the UK. At least at the cinema i could of walked out but when you pay £16 for something you feel that you have to at least finish it. This movie is very bland and strolled along at such a sterile pace that you hoped all the way through that it was building up to something even remotely interesting. There is no plot as such and although it is beautifully shot it does not deserve the acclaim it has been getting. The comparisions to Solaris are justified. Bill Murray up for an Oscar??? this is one of the finest comic actors of our time and in the most stale film he has ever been in he gets recognition. Bill Murrays trademark wit and sarcasm from movies such as Ghostbusters and Kingpin was not on show. I would avoid if you can and wait until its on TV
