The movie also famously earned a rare F grade from CinemaScore

It's not often movies come with as much prestige attached to them as 2002 sci-fi dramaReleased on 27 November, the film stars George Clooney as Dr. Chris Kelvin, a widowed psychiatrist in the near future that is mysteriously summoned to a space station orbiting Solaris, a newly discovered strange planet.Arriving at the station, he discovers to his horror numerous crew members dead, along with two survivors acting erratically.

For one, it retains the incredible premise of the novel and the Tarkovsky film - a group of astronauts observing a planet, who find the celestial body gazing back into them, plumbing the depths of their subconscious. That said, thanks to Solaris, Rheya reappears on the space station alive with no memory of her death. However, this is where proceedings get truly mind-blogging in that great sci-fi way.

Clooney does some of his best-ever work playing the haunted, rational Chris who at first responds with terror to seeing his dead wife alive again before gradually coming to see the strange phenomena as a second chance for the pair.
