Review title: Another Solaris rip-off
Product review: One of the other reviews said "I like the idea behind this movie." Well, here you go: The idea behind both this movie (as well as "Event Horizon") and the Michael Crichton book is the concept put forth in the much greater Stanislaw Lem novel "Solaris". If Lem cared more about bothering to deal with American pop-culture "creators" he could most definitely sue the authors and makers of the various blatant rip-offs of his works. If you don't know what I'm talking about then read "Solaris" or see the Andrei Tartofsky film adaptation (of which "Event Horizon" in particular is a complete rip-off.) Lem has been an unattributed source of a lot of ideas that Hollywood has gussied up, even though his works are quite brilliant enough in themselves. "The Matrix" is another prime example. It was a very fun flick, but anyone who thinks the concept, and even a lot of the specific details, were original simply must read Lem's splendid and hilarious 1968 novel "The Futurological Congress."
