Title: a little mixed metaphor ain't a bad thing
Review: I'll make this brief.If you liked 'Solaris' with George Clooney, you will likely enjoy this picture alot...And vice-versa.This is a science fantasy drama, a vehicle for metaphors about the Sun, and a collection of character sketches. It's about Icarus falling into the Sun. And the danger of "Staring into the Sun". The ensemble cast perform their parts with grit and seriousness.. the sense of danger and of isolation is palpable... the sets, effects and music are on point.As a mood piece, it excels.As serious 'science fiction'? Maybe not... but hey- is there really any such thing, anymore? We're a scientifically jaded culture, now that science is big business. Yes, jump starting the Sun w/a theoretical fusion bomb is silliness.. but that's just the vehicle to examine these characters- that's what this film is about.
