Dawn of the planet of the apes 6/10
I don't know what I wanted from the movie, but this was far too predictable, down to the exact words of the dialogue. The cgi apes weren't all that great either, seems they always keep them in the shadows, in diffuse lighting or overcast weather. I guess it doesn't look good in the light. The whole movie looks kinda drab and washed out.
It was still entertaining, although I did watch it at 1.5x speed towards the end. Maybe I should not watch a popcorn flick right after Tarkovsky and a visual master piece like Beyond the black rainbow :)
Solaris (1972) 7.5/10
Definitely much more interesting than the 2002 remake, I really liked Khari's internal struggle. The movie does start too slow for my tastes, I didn't really get hooked until an hour in. Stalker had me hooked from the start. I'll keep the blu-ray on my watch list, you tube made quite a mess of the visuals at times, imposible to make out what that ocean was supposed to look like for example, just a pixelated blur.
