I just witnessed one of the greatest, and longest, sci-fi movies ever made. 'Solaris' , based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem, was a psychological sci-fi movie based on an alien planet that seems to be affected by the presence of the human conscience. The ocean-planet appears to feed off of dreams, brain waves, or just the psyche in general, but primarily at night time. In the words of Ken Andrews, it's "...ON AN OCEAN THAT HAS A BRAIN AND MAKES US DREAM." It physically manifests memories; places, people, etc. from one's past. Great movie, but it's about 3+ hours, so unless you really like old sci-fi, maybe just watch the remake, its about half the length. Click the title to check out the specs.

yeah i just watched this too. the hollywood and original version. i accidentally downloaded the 7gb one that turned out to have commentaries. a hell lot of detail went into this original. I'm not quite sure which one felt longer.. Space Odyssey or Solaris.
and i just noticed we dig the same movies and music.
