A therapist travels to a distant space
station to treat a group of astronauts traumatized by mysterious
entities -- and ends up having to deal with an entity of his own -- in
this second film version of Stanislaw Lem's philosophical sci-fi novel.
Solaris stars George Clooney as Chris Kelvin, a psychologist still
mourning the loss of his wife Rheya (Natascha McElhone) when he's
implored by a colleague named Gibarian (Ulrich Tukur) to investigate the
increasingly weird goings-on at the Prometheus space
station. By the time Kelvin gets there, Gibarian has committed suicide,
leaving only the cryptic, babbling Snow (Jeremy Davies) and the
paranoid, guarded Gordon (Viola Davis), both of whom are holed up in
their respective rooms. As Kelvin interrogates the skeleton crew, he
learns that they've had unwanted "visitors," apparitions of long-dead
friends, family, and loved ones who are apparently being generated by
the interstellar energy source Solaris. The doctor is dubious of their
claims until one night he, too, is greeted by his wife Rheya (Natascha
McElhone), whose death still torments him. At first skeptical of the new
Rheya, Kelvin gradually becomes obsessed with her -- and with the guilt
that he feels over their troubled marriage -- to the point where the
others begin to fear for his sanity.
