solar attack be about a large coronal mass ejection ( cme ) from the sun that threaten to ignite the atmosphere and kill everyone . the president must try and make the right decision and he only have one chance . the scientist and advisor be split and but the president errs on the side of caution and authorize some dangerous operation . while this film deal with a less known extinction level event and the science be still dubious a present . for the most part and the performance aren not convincing and seem rush . i think this have more to do with the direct rather than the acting . dialog be common with little snap . i doubt that even big name actor could have pull this out of the c plus range . special effect be nonspecific and general and and unrealistic .
