Solar Attack

REPENT!!!

The sun is one fiery ball of anger and it is taking it out on Earth.  You can have all the digital sharks and digital demons you want.  Somehow, there is a way to defeat them.  Try taking on the sun.  Game over, man.  Game over.

Not really.

Looks like our friend Mark Dacascos is back on Medusa's Face again.  You may remember him from I Am Omega or Alien Agent.  This time, he is billionaire Dr. Lucas Foster, who has left the Solar and Near Earth Laboratory to begin Foster Industries.  Foster Industries is sending a man into the out limits of the atmosphere to study ozone depletion and collect data on harmful gases.  But because of a large amount of CME (Corona Mass Ejection) occurrences from the sun, his new $100 million dollar space plane is destroyed.

There are other CME activity that have taken out probes and satellites, along with several direct hits on the Earth.  Even scrambling fighter jets to shoot down the death projectiles is only a temporary solution.  New Zealand gets removed from the planet after getting hit with debris that engulfs the entire country in flames.  Pretty scary stuff, if you ask me.  But there is a solution.  Blow up the polar ice caps to push as much water vapor into the air as possible to keep the atmosphere from burning up.

This is comical to me.  It seems that the writers wanted to make a statement about how pollution is destroying the ozone layer and to combat this anomaly, the ice caps must be destroyed.  I love it.

No gore at all to speak of, and no real violence to speak of either.  The main villain is either the sun or every person who has ever contributed to the ozone depletion.  I don't know.  But I do know that this far fetched B movie plot is very silly.  There is not enough content to keep you watching and it ends with the three people that helped save the day wasting tax payer money to have lunch with the president.  At least the president is Louis Gossett Jr., so that is pretty cool.

I give this movie 1 1/2 out of 5 Galileo space vehicles.
