The world watches in awe as the Roebling Clipper is launched into space. Using state-of-the-art scalar engines to fly around the Moon and back in just hours, the maiden voyage of the first-ever trans-lunar passenger ship is about to make history. Among those on board: First Lady Simone Mathany, space-exploration entrepreneur Steve Roebling, Dr. Denise Balaban, pilot Fiona Henslaw, and a very lucky lottery winner. But while en route, a massive solar flare sparks a cosmic-ray burst that accelerates Aurora's engine and blows the ship away from Earth's orbit. Now out of control, it's hurtling straight for the sun. At Mission Control, along with the desperate President Thomas Mathany, an increasingly anxious team of experts puts a plan into motion - an interception by a shuttle attached to the International Space Station. When that ends in disaster, the Aurora only picks up speed. Now being pulled toward the sun at three percent of the speed of light, it's only a matter of hours before it burns. With that, the scalar engine will trigger cosmic ray bursts, and a giant electromagnetic pulse storm that will blow Earth back into the Stone Age. Now, preparing for the inevitable seems the last - and only - terrifying option.

| User ReviewHuw GSemi-suspense and action science fiction movie that doesn't quite pull it off on a number of levels. If you're content to throw scientific disbelief, low budget props and a script that almost descends into mawkishness at times, out of the reckoning then you might find this an entertaining way to spend a couple of hours. On the other hand, if you're looking for a movie that grabs you by the seat of the pants and won't let go, avoid this. A global disaster movie that isn't, this story centres around a spaceship that inadvertently flies into the sun and triggers a series of solar flares that spell death and destruction for our planet. Careful direction and acting pull this disaster movie back from being a total disaster and, at the end, the disparate parts which make no sense for most of the time start to knit together. But, even though you might build up some sympathy for the main protagonists, the whole premise of the film, which presumably is that human beings always have the altruistic aim of the good of the race to guide and motivate them, doesn't really gel. One aspect you might gain from watching this is to change your attitude for that apparently benign star that we call the sun. One small change in the solar system can turn it into a killer. Watch and be warned. |
