when i have first heard of solar crisis then get a load of the cast and i wonder why i have never hear of a movie with such a big cast before . then i saw it . now i know . for a movie that encompass out space and the sun and vast desert and sprawl metropolis and this be an awfully cramp and claustrophobic feature while it feel like everyone be hunker close together so the camera would not have to pull too far back . and the effect and while good and be pretty underwhelming while be talk about the imminent destruction of the planet earth if a team of scientist and soldier can not deflect a deadly solar flare . but other than shout and sweat and a red glow about everything and there no real feel of emergency . don not get me start about the cast . what heston and palance and matheson and boyle and et al be do in this movie without even bother to act with any feel for the material be anyone guess . make you wonder who else condos aren not pay for in hollywood . and as far a the end go . well and let just say it tense and intriguing but it too little too late in an effort like this . if it have keep up that kind of pace all through the film and maybe i would have hear of solar crisis sooner . two star . mostly for lose opportunity and bad career move . i wonder how alan smithee keep his job do junk like this .
