This is a fun movie and part of the "Doomsday Series" of
scifi films that have been showing on Reelz. They
always have lots of action and fun special effects.
This one is about a private spacecraft being sent out
into space, which somehow affects the sun, which in turn
sends harmful rays to the Earth (I didn't really understand
the technical stuff, to be honest).
Anthony Lemke stars as the guy in charge of the
spacecraft. I really like him, and he has a lot of charisma
and great looks. David James Elliot (most well known
for "Jag") plays a former astronaut. The two men dislike
each other because of past history. The third-billed
star is Julia Ormond. She plays a doctor, who's in
Afghanistan helping women. Her husband is one of the
astronauts in the spaceship.
The cast is pretty huge because this is basically a
disaster movie. Like all disaster movies, we get to see who
lives and who dies, and how they prevent the Earth from
exploding. That part of the story was very good. Overall, I
enjoyed it. I wouldn't expect it to hold up well under
thorough examination, especially by anyone who really knows
science.
The DVD has interviews with each of the cast. Those are
great to watch!

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA
– An exciting voyage takes a fatal turn when the
never-before-seen extended version of
Exploding Sun
shoots onto Blu-ray and DVD October 15 from Gaiam Vivendi
Entertainment and Sonar Entertainment. When Earth faces the
ultimate threat, two men have one chance to save humanity.
Starring Emmy© award winner Julia Ormond (“Mad Men,” “Temple
Grandin”), David James Elliot (JAG), Natalie Brown (Being
Human) and Anthony Lemke (Lost Girl),
Exploding Sun
originally premiered on September 9 on ReelzChannel,
concluding the doomsday film series, which featured five
epic experiences.
History is
made as the first-ever commercial space flight is launched
into space for the first time as the world watches in awe.
When a solar storm hyper-changes the engine and sends it
hurtling toward the sun, it triggers
a cataclysmic solar storm that could blow Earth all the way
back into the Stone Age. For those at Mission Control and
everyone else on board, including the First Lady, preparing
for the inevitable seems to be the only horrifying option.
The future of the world is left in the hands of two men who
will risk their lives in order to save all humanity. The
biggest source of life turns into our greatest threat when
an extended version of
Exploding Sun,
not seen on television, blasts onto Blu-ray and DVD October
15 at the suggested retail price of $29.95 and $19.97,
respectively.
SYNOPSIS
A solar flare four times larger than Earth plunging toward
the planet, Military scientist Dr. Jane Brandt calls upon
the one man who can possibly reverse the cataclysm: a
renegade ad-hoc scientist who warns the countdown to the end
of humanity has begun.
