‘Another Earth’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/April 21, 2011 12:00 pm EST I really like the Solaris-like tone of this trailer. I understand that the movie is more a minor exploration of romance, second chances and possibility than it is a science fiction tale, but most of the best science fiction (like Solaris) really only uses technology as a lens through which to look back at ourselves and how we live....
