Description:
The largest coronal mass emission (CME) ever detected by scientists breaks off from the sun and hurtles toward the Earth.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Solar Attack
Movie came fast and in good shape. I have not had time to watch the movie yet.
Rating: - An honest "B" disaster movie
The real problem is not sets, special effects or acting:
it is the plot science is just bad to really nonexistent!
These two points are just both false:
1) solar flares of coherent plasma
2) methane enough to combine with all the atmospheric oxygen
Other than that the submarine warfare was pretty good.
Blowing up the polar ice caps with nuclear missiles is
just a really bad idea, too.
It came real close to being a comedy

Rating: - Adequate, but Derivitive
As a long time Sci-Fi fan, I found this film enjoyable, but derivitive. The special effects were good, but not spectacular. The acting was better than I first expected. The story plot itself seems to be largely derived from Irwin Allen's original 1960 movie version of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", which is the better film in my opinion.
Rating:  - Sorry, I am not impressed.
I may not be the biggest fan of disaster films, but this movie was even worse than most. The acting is very weak, and the story line is just too weak. I would have turned the movie off, if my husband wasn't one who watches any movie once. I laughed my way through most of it, and finally gave up to read a book. Though the story idea may be a good one and the actors chosen have done great work, this movie was a major let down. The time would be better spent reading. I hope the book was better.
Rating: - Another OK Disaster Movie, This Time It's Coronal Mass Ejection
Made-for-TV film "Solar Strike" has little to add to the already overcrowded genre of disaster movies. This time the Earth is facing total destruction by CME, coronal mass ejection which is unstoppable huge flame coming from the Sun. Oh, and don't forget the dangerous methane gas in the air. Only Lucas Foster, maverick scientist knows the eminent danger and the solution of it too, but other scientists including his ex-love Joanna are not willing to listen.
The familiar premise and formulaic ... Read More
