Men fra get-go, det er tydelig at Solaris har upped anten på både "The Cage" og Blade Runner. Samme generelle tomten mønstre overleve, men Rheya, vår kvinne, er ennå et skritt videre fjernet fra det normale kategorisering av menneske kvinne-og vår helt blir enda mer oppslukt i hans mystiske motpart. This is in many ways the ultimate film noir. Dette er på mange måter den ultimate film noir.

As noted, psychologist Chris Kelvin (George Clooney) is summoned to rescue the survivors of a space station orbiting the distant planet Solaris. Som nevnt, psykologen Chris Kelvin (George Clooney) blir tilkalt for å redde overlevende av en romstasjon i bane rundt den fjerne planeten Solaris. To his horror, Chris's immediate welcoming committee consists of several occupied body bags. Til skrekk hans består Chris umiddelbare innbydende komité av flere okkupert body bags. While he does eventually locate the two remaining crew members (Snow and Gordon), they are anything but helpful. Selv om han ikke finner til slutt de to gjenværende besetningsmedlemmene (Snø og Gordon), er de alt annet enn nyttig. Their sole contribution is to warn him about the “companions.” The source of these “companions” is the planet Solaris, but what instigates the generation or creation of these amazing entities is never spelled out. Deres eneste bidrag er å advare ham om "følgesvenner." Kilden til disse "kameratene" er planeten Solaris, men hva instigates generering eller opprettelse av disse fantastiske enheter er aldri skrevet ut. We only know that they are the product of a human's memories. Vi vet bare at de er et produkt av et menneskes minner. Chris's own memory-generated Companion turns out to be his dead wife, Rheya (Natascha McElhone). Chris eget minne generert Companion viser seg å være hans døde hustru, Rheya (Natascha McElhone).

Replicants are highly advanced androids manufactured from genetic and biological components. They have greater-than-human strength and intelligence, but have been created by the Tyrell Corporation to serve humans and be nothing more than slaves. To make matters worse, they only have a four-year lifespan. In Blade Runner, a group of replicants illegally return to Earth in search of the fountain of youth.

To complicate things, the differences between humans and replicants are so minute that a sophisticated procedure called the Voight-Kampf test is required to flesh out the latter. In this test, suspects are hooked up to a device that resembles a kind of lie-detector machine and asked a series of questions meant to elicit an emotional response. It is through subtle responses, particularly blush responses and the contraction of the iris, that a replicant can be identified. And even then the test is not perfect. When asked if he has ever retired a human by mistake, Deckard offers a very unconvincing, "No."

The justification for the replicants' status as noncitizens, or more accurately as nonpersons, is never clearly elucidated. It's just taken for granted that replicants have been created to serve humans. As Deckard himself admits, "Replicants are like any other machine, they're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit it's not my problem." Eldon Tyrell, the genius behind Tyrell Corporation, says of them, "[They are] an experiment, nothing more."

Later on in the movie, taking exception to these types of attitudes, replicant leader Roy Batty says to genetic designer J.F. Sebastian, "We're not computers, Sebastian. We're physical." And earlier, as replicant Leon Kowalski chases down Deckard, he remarks, "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave!"

Today, as human genetic engineering, cloning and AI come closer into focus, these themes have an added sense of realism and urgency. As advances in human reproductive and cybernetic technologies allow us to modify our offspring and ourselves, and as these technologies increasingly enable us to create humans of a different sort, we need to pay close attention to, and work to prevent, human rights violations, prejudices and inhibitions such as those portrayed in Blade Runner.
