I can most definitely understand your reaction. As I've said, if you had shown it to me at most times (except more recently), I would've fallen asleep.

One of the long-time DVDTalkers - marty888 - for a long while had a really great signature at the bottom of all his posts. Something about - the movie never changing, but you as a viewer do change. In all the years I've been here, his was the best signature I've read. It really is true, that quote he had in there. I recall the movie A.I. being one of the most unpleasant experiences I've had in a movie theater. I hated that movie...and I still purchased the DVD when I found it for $5 because I figured Spielberg is a reputed filmmaker and a whole lot of people seemed to connect with the movie, so maybe some day. When I did revisit the movie, you know what happened, I ended up loving it. And now I consider it a masterwork and probably think more of it than even a lot of critics who praised it in the firstplace. I actually went back again and read reviews and I was like "what only three stars, are you joking, it is clearly a four star movie", haha. A similar story with Malick's THE THIN RED LINE. I saw it in theaters and I though "eh"...didn't hate it or anything but it didn't register with me either. Same deal, I still picked up the $5 DVD because I like war films, so I thought I'd just file it away in the old movie library. When I watched Malick's THE NEW WORLD and loved it, I got curious about THE THIN RED LINE again. Dug it out of my collection and watched it again, and this time I got everything he was going for clear as crystal. So again that is one I consider a masterwork of cinema. I actually feel sort of ashamed that I actually tossed harsh words at both films at various times in the forum. Even though SAVING PRIVATE RYAN didn't do a whole lot for me, I always used to pick it over THE THIN RED LINE in polls we would have for the two movies. Now, my vote would go completely the other. And on the same lines, movies I loved as a kid, well some of them I can't even sit through now. Not saying SOLARIS might be like that for you someday, but you never know...and besides I'm a long-winded blowhard who seems to have difficulty in keeping posts to a few lines like everyone else so I thought I'd ramble on about something just to give everyone something to read while they are faking productivity at work.

If it reassures you at all, I think VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS is significantly more accessible as compared to SOLARIS, so - considering you actually purchased that one - I hope it works out for you.
