  • Critical Dissonance: When it came out, Lem absolutely hated Solaris (1972) for its Broad Strokes nature and maintained that view for his entire life. Not only the film is considered one of the best movies by Andrei Tarkovsky, but routinely makes it to any given list of the best movies ever made. Let that sink in - the film is a classic that's studied by film students and Lem hated it due to...
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Applies to both film adaptations of Solaris according to Lem, though he openly admitted that he didn't even watch the second one; interestingly, he also said that he has more begrudging respect towards it because it ultimately crafted something original out of the framework.
