Title: More Fizzle Than Sparks in Journey to the Sun
Review: It really is hard to find a good science fiction film isn't it? Most entries are actually fantasies. This film purports to be a bit more technically believable than most; a mission is sent from Earth to reignite our dying sun. People old enough to remember the Skylab missions from the early '70's might find something rather familiar about the interiors of the "Icarus 2." Speaking of historical notes, it's symptomatic of the declining importance of Hollywood to the film industry that all American allusions are missing from this film; fifteen years ago, that obviously wouldn't have been the case. Half of the crew seem to have been recruited from Asia, the other half from feuding twenty-year-olds on a reality TV show. Though the film has many gloriously golden views of the sun, it ultimately degrades into another gory kill-fest. Too bad; it had potential.
