Re: How good is the Science in Science Fiction films?

If anyone's looking for a slow-burn, cerebral sort of show, Midnight Mass on Netflix is worth a look. It's not really SF; it's in the horror/supernatural genre. But it has great character development and touches on topics like how good people can be persuaded to do bad things, coping with regrets and grief, and the meaning of life and death. It features some impressive work from the lead actors, especially those who play Father Paul & Bev. In the end, though, it's a horror series rather than a philosophical one.
I've just added Midnight Mass to my watch list on Netflix - thank you Wingman Mav. Big fan of supernatural stuff, intertwined with religion. Although not 'high brow', I enjoyed Stigmata... Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne did a a great job.
Did anyone else see Solaris, with Clooney? Thoughts?
