Solar Crisis (1990)
3/10
Makes Danny Boyle's Sunshine Look Like A Masterwork
9 November 2012
The year is 2050 and a mega solar flare is going to incinerate the human race . Try and think of Danny Boyle's SUNSHINE with heat replacing cold and you've got the idea . Actually if you've got any idea about anything please don't watch SOLAR CRISIS because you'll find it incredibly dumb . So dumb you'll feel yourself discrimanated against by film studios who seem to employ screenwriters dumber than yourself . Take this sample of dialogue:

" If the flare strikes this means the Earth's surface will be magma like . Ninty per cent deaths "

Hmmm so if the Earth's surface becomes as hot as magma that means 90% will die ? I'm thinking if even if the temperature is considerably less than to turn the Earth's surface to magma this would cause 100% of human fatalities ? You see how dumb this all is . At least SUNSHINE employed Prof Brian Cox as scientific adviser where as if the producers here employed the school dunce we'd still see a film with more scientific credibility than this finished product. And don't get me started on a five tonne anti-matter bomb

SOLAR CRISIS might have a relatively big name cast but don't be fooled because Heston and Palance are merely employed to make the audience believe they're going to be watching an intense character driven big budget movie . Perhaps the biggest disappointment is the way the story plays out . We never get to see this world of the future and the locations back home on planet Earth are confined the foyer of a hotel and a desert which is devoid of humanity . Maybe it's a magma desert ?
