    The Solaris novel is great though. At last someone took a proper look at this overrated movie. Tarkovski hated 2001, saying it looked too clean, and he wanted his tech to look grungy -- instead it just looks cheap.

      Well, I think we can agree that Ridley Scott pulled off the well used, old broken down bus look much, much better with Alien. Does Tarkovski really think that - in the relative near future of 2001, Nasa would send a science ship to make Mankind's greatest discovery in something that looks like it was made of balsa wood and dirty linoleum?@@RD-lt3ht

The Solaris station just looks like cheap art direction, but not charmingly cheap like Dark Star.

      I think for the most part it's pretty damned spectacular. God the amount of work WETA had to put into that is astounding. Not just the apes, but the environments. There is the odd shot where it feels a little bit "uncanny valley" -- like it looks great, but not 100% real or in camera, but hey it was 2017 and I'm not sure we'll ever get to a point where that feel goes away? But otherwise fantastic. Have you seen Kingdom?

      Yeah it's actually quite surreal. I mean, the VFX artists are listed in the credits...animators, modelers, lighters, compers, etc. The VFX shops that did the work put out show reels that show the CGI breakdown. The studios looking to pick up an Oscar for VFX encourage this..... YET the filmmakers waltz out onto talk shows and stuff to gaslight the public at large with this ridiculous lie.

    What really sucks is that this whole anti-CGI crap is b/c Hollywood is 1. Too fucking CHEAP to give us the time to do xlnt vfx, and 2. Puts some of the *stupidest* ppl in control just based on how fucking arrogant they are, 'the more the better'. That goes for most vfx studios too sadly

    It does make me wonder why Hollywood marketing pushing this anti cgi agenda. Old practical fx was very limited in what it could do. CGI has opened up the possibilities to making many more types of tv and movies that were previously not possible. Or at least not possible to do well.
