Little sci fi double feature here with Star Quest. A Japanese and American co production that flopped.
Solar Crisis begins and my jaw practically hits the floor with the cast. Charlton Heston, Michael Berryman, Peter Boyle, Jack Palance, Tim Matheson, Corin Nemec. Damn yo!
This was a big budget movie that got out of control and eventually got credited to Alan Smithee, the infamous pseudonym for bad movies.
A ship on a mission has to go blow up the sun in this Sunshine adjacent action adventure flick. It features a talking bomb and it made me wonder, has the notion of a talking device like this ever worked in a movie? So many times a ship or a plot maguffin will talk, often for comedy, and you know, I really think it doesn’t work, just in general.
This movie plays out pretty predictably in general and feels extremely B grade in just about every way, so I’m not surprised it under performed. It’s perfect to just kinda put on and half watch. 3 stars.
