This sounds more like an after the fact rationalization!
That's the thing with art - a relational value.

I also saw Solyaris and like Walter I didn't find it to be that special.
I haven't given it a second view, which could (potentially) improve my
appreciation of the movie. Such has happened before, with 2001 for
example, which is one of my top 5 all-time favorite movies, but which I
also wasn't too impressed with my first viewing.
But that increased appreciation would likely only happen if I gained a
better understanding of the moive. So if indeed much of it is
subjective/abstract/open-to-interpretation then that wouldn't happen, I
generally don't like this kind of thing. (That's why I dislike almost
all David Lynch movies... a level of magnitude above Solyaris in that
regard)
