Review by Library Journal Review

Based on the classic Stanislaw Lem sf novel about a sentient planet that creates copies of people from the memories of astronauts in an orbiting space station, Andrei Tarkovsky's original adaptation is both more cerebral and less approachable than Steven Soderbergh's underappreciated 2002 remake with George Clooney. With its challenging meditation on the nature of humanity, this version nonetheless remains definitive. Digitally restored for its hi-def reissue, the film is more suitable for cineastes than genre buffs. (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
