Leave your thoughts about Solarbabies.
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordThis movie owes so much to the "Road Warrior" pictures that I doubt if it could have been made without them. Since the movie so clearly required great dedication, especially in its visual effects and the use of its desert locations, I can only wonder why they didn't spend equal effort on finding an original story to tell. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatIt can't decide whether it's a poor cousin of 'E.T.' or a kissing cousin of 'Road Warrior.' Either way, it's is an uninvolving and derivative dud. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrAlan Johnson`s direction is so limply amateurish that the entire project quickly descends to the level of a cheesy backlot production. The action lurches along without the slightest regard for logic or pacing, and there are Dominick`s commercials with more sophisticated characterization. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe acting is lame and the rehashed script is silly. The film drags on and on until its obvious and none-too-thrilling conclusion. This is a film to punish the kids with if their behavior grows intolerable. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioSolarbabies is a hilariously bad movie that doesn't make much sense and isn't much good when it does. Director Alan Johnson has stolen most of his visual ideas from Ridley Scott ("Blade Runner") and George Miller ("The Road Warrior"), and he hasn't the slightest idea how to direct actors. That said, the movie has its campy pleasures. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonInstead of coming to a high, flavorful boil, the whole thing quickly overcooks and begins evaporating into hot air. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThere are times when it appears that Solarbabies might be sending itself up. All of the time, it's an embarrassment. |
| StarburstJ.R. SouthallBetter to either wallow in the nostalgia, or boggle at the ham-fistedness of it all. |
| Chicago ReaderPat GrahamAway, away with all of you and your sorry master, director Alan Johnson, whose every prospect for future employment in this darkling realm of TV pilot failure must be waning by the hour. |
| User Reviewmarla cAnother great teen movie I used to watch, great actors that you still see today, ie Heroes |
