Product: Solar Crisis (Region 2)
Rating: 3.0
Not bad, coming from Vidmark Ent., but not good either
How they ever shanghied Charlton Heston into this movie I'll never know. Really good effects ( What did you expect from Rishard Edlund, 2010 effecter), decent acting, but stupid subplot on Earth which, unless you pay very close attention to the dialoge, has no relevence to the movie at all. The plotline aboard the Helios is good, but extremely marred by the earth bound one. The end rips off 2001, and the Widescreening of the movie hardly makes any differenceI enjoyed it somewhat. The effects make up for the bad subplot, and Charlton Heston is good as always. Good idea, which has been used in various forms for a long time, is presented in a way that makes you wish they had a bigger budget, because they were on the right track with Solar Crisis, but didn't have the money to give it the treatment it deserved. My advice, if you are a non-discriminating Sci-fi fan, get it, others beware.
