5.0 out of 5 starsTarkovksy's best film (along with Solaris)...
By Grigory's Girl on March 17, 2007
Format: DVD
This film is as amazing as you have heard. It's arguably Tarkovsky's best film (and the last one he made completely under the auspices of the USSR), and a film that gets inside your head and your soul. The plot is rather simple. An alien force lands on Earth, and then leaves. The area where they landed is a vast wasteland where the laws of physics are suspended. It's been dubbed the zone (or 3OHA in Russian). A stalker (not the current definition), a writer, and a professor venture into the zone, where there is a room that will grant you your most inner wishes. Now, it's not what you ask for, it's what you really desire. The room reads into your soul. This is a very slow, cerebral movie (it wouldn't be a Tarkovsky movie otherwise), but it has to be seen many times to fully comprehend it. I love Stalker's "dream" sequence, which has one of the most amazing shots I've ever seen in cinema. The ending is really exceptional as well. I have seen Stalker at least 10 times, and I can see 10 more. It was a difficult shoot (Tarkovsky had to stop shooting because there was a defect in the film stock he was using. He had to reshoot from scratch, essentially), yet, it is Tarkovsky's greatest film along with Solaris and Andrei Rublev. When you watch it, make sure that you choose the original mono soundtrack. The DVD company, RUSCICO, remixed the soundtrack to 5.1 dolby, but they ADDED sound to the original film, including music during the ride to the zone (which originally only had dialogue and the sound of the trolley car). It was awful. They ended up reissuing the disc with both tracks after the outcry by Tarkovsky admirers.

3.0 out of 5 starsTarkovsky's film is here, but not the default play.
By Hugh Sansom on April 6, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This Kino release of Stalker has two discs -- one with the film, the other with extras. Navigation on the first disc is poorly designed, so you have to dig into the audio setup to find out that there are actually two versions of the soundtrack. The default is _not_ Tarkovsky's soundtrack; it's a 5.1 dolby soundtrack which altered and added sound, including a music track that isn't particularly good and seriously changes how Tarkovsky clearly intended the film to be experienced (for example, by adding music where Tarkovsky had none). There is a very long, intensely meditative sequence to which music is added. You might as well colorize Citizen Kane.

Visually, the transfer is okay, but could be better. For the price at the time of this writing (about US$17), it's fine.

The film itself is a masterpiece, though people accustomed to contemporary film styles will find Tarkovsky "boring" -- no jolting soundtrack, no rapid-fire cutting. Instead, some of the slowest, most prolonged camera moves and cuts you'll see in film. Gorgeous if you like it (which, clearly, I do).

5.0 out of 5 starsLike 'The Wizard of Oz' crossed with an episode of 'The X-Files'!
By Jaime Hudson on July 19, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
"Stalker", based on the Strugatsky brothers novel ' Roadside Picnic', is that rare film that takes time to watch and understand the story, but it is well worth the effort. It is a surreal road trip... like 'The Wizard of Oz' crossed with an extended episode of 'The X-Files'!
Basically, this is about a 'stalker' - a guide that illegally takes people into a place called 'The Zone', where it it believed that aliens landed years ago & leaving some of their 'alien junk' behind when they left Earth for no known reason. The Zone is very dangerous and mysterious, and many that go in there do not return.
The stalker, Red, has an almost spiritual relationship with the Zone. It is like a holy and sacred place for him, even with all its known and hidden dangers. Much of the dialog between him and the two people he guides (a scientist, and a writer) is a big part of the enjoyment of the story, and all of the visuals and cinematography in many scenes make for some very magical and breathtaking film watching! After 2 viewings I was hooked.
I also read the book this was adapted from, and though there are differences, both are very satisfying adventures that should not be missed!

4.0 out of 5 starsDeep. As close to tactile visuals as you can get without effects
By SRFireside TOP 1000 REVIEWER on March 23, 2015
Format: DVD
Andrei Tarkovshy is known for deep and immersive film making, and Stalker is considered his greatest work. Among the sci-fi community his other film. Solaris, is the one noted most. However for me this film pulls off what it intends to much better. Stalker is all art house. A film maker's film. It ignores your average movie convention and gets your attention in a way action or comedy cannot do. As such it is a methodical film that can seem slow to the average viewer. Stalker is definitely a movie worth watching, and those with an adventurous movie spirit will be rewarded with a unique experience.

Stalker is about a mysterious area called "The Zone" and a small group of men traveling through it. Nobody really knows what created The Zone. Only that normal laws of nature don't apply there, and it's been cordoned off and guarded to protect the public after several disappearances. A writer and a scientist hire a Stalker (a sort of guide through The Zone) in order to get to epicenter of The Zone. At this center is The Room, which is said to grant your deepest wish when you enter it. The premise is enough to get me interested, but the journey to The Room is what this film is all about.

Tarkovshy is all about the existential discussions, and Stalker brings them up in the best fashion: by way of the travelers and their discussions and thoughts as they move further through The Zone. Each of them have their own reasons for being there, and bit by bit you learn more of their philosophies. This isn't some Godard that uses such themes to defy convention. They are pivotal to the development of the story and the characters.Read more ›
