This is the kind of film that leaves you saying, “What if?” The plot caught my attention - in the not-too distant future, our sun is dying, and a group of astronauts and scientists (all too young and too good looking) must go to the sun and blast it with a nuclear bomb the size of Manhattan. Whoa. And in end, when it tries to be a sci-fi film, it’s breathtaking; not perfect, but absolutely refreshing. Without spoiling it, when it tries to be a horror film, it fails miserably. “What if they
hadn’t done that?” Regardless, the first 2/3 of the film are amazing. And for those of you who care, it has some of the best visual effects I’ve ever seen. It’s just so sad that the last third of the film is such a letdown. Either way, a solid rental, and definitely a thinker, which is good, kids…
