one of the requirement of science fiction and at least before it start to become satire and be that it be somewhat plausible . i would think that an anti matter bomb would do considerably more damage than for what it be intend . but i will leave that to the physicist who might have see solar crisis . it be a crisis the earth be face because solar flare be get totally out of hand . theyre get close to earth and so much so that it become unseasonably hot and a if the entire earth be death valley . the answer be an anti matter bomb which a space ship will have to take to the sun and explode it there . that will divert the flare off in say the direction of say mercury provide it not in direct alignment with the earth . who to deliver it and but captain tim matheson and his crew . that be if he can keep his mind on the business at hand and not on runaway son and corin nemec . take care of the personal side of the family problem be admiral charlton heston and matheson father and and nemec grandfather . there a villain here too and peter boyle who be the ceo of a multi national corporation which in this crisis be try to control the world food supply for the survivor . the idea he might not survive doesn not enter into his thinking . he do his best to sabotage matheson mission . solar crisis seem like a bad mix of 2001 and a space odyssey and voyage to the bottom of the sea . boyle seem to be take his cue from gene hackman a lex luthor in superman and apparently he the only one in the cast who realize he in a turkey and overact accordingly . the rest of the cast be stalwart and true blue and dull . except possibly desert rat jack palance who find nemec and care for him . the key here be that the film be direct by that note hollywood purveyor of flop film and allen smithee . the film get as much a four star for the cast involve and it be out in time for a thanksgiving carving .
