catchy, moody, expensive....

Rating: 1/10 (2 May 2010)

Saw lot's of trailers and posters for this, and have been looking forward to seeing it. I'm a big fan of odyssey, and think solaris is a great trip.
This film starts out comparing itself with odyssey (greatest film period) and solaris (very odyssey inspired), then calling it "one of those rare space gems". They've made a great soundtrack, spend millions on props and actors. And then....nothing...No, seriously, absolutely nothing.
One actor (except when there's two or three of him), the weakest story and plot ever (a five-year-old could think of this). NOT in any way clever or inventive, just tedious and dumb.
I suppose some people think "aah.. a sophisticated scifi experience, maybe even space-opera like, we can discuss seriously, while smoking cigars and sipping whine" - I can only say: AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH you've been had!
Sorry Hollywood, you can't just steal all the props and ideas from other movies, without adding something yourselves. Throw away that "random story generator" and THINK for a change.
My 1 star vote is for Clint Mansell's soundtrack ONLY
...and not for this pathetic excuse for a movie
