Before I get to the actual review of Galaxy Games a little bit of background is in order. While looking up writer/director Ben Carland’s other credits I noticed he was credited with a film from 2021 called Sol Invictus, which is the actual name of the games the characters are competing in.
Checking it out, it’s obviously the same film, but with user reviews dating back to 2013. A further bit of searching found a couple of articles, including this one, dating back to 2011. So rather than a new movie, this is an eleven-year-old film that’s been released under a couple of titles, Sol and Sol Invictus already.
After a voiceover hyping the games to prospective participants and explaining them to us, we’re dumped on a beach where...

Transport yourself to another dimension with Sol, an independent science fiction feature film from writer/director Benjamin Carland. Independent science fiction films can be incredibly bad or incredibly awesome. In the case of Sol, I was pleasantly surprised to with the amount of thrills and tension from such a low budget film.
Imagine being stranded on a hostile alien planet with a group of other elite young adults as part of a prestigious competition called Sol Invictus. The goal of your team is to be able to pinpoint Earth's faraway sun - Sol to wine fame and glory. The teams face many perils along the way, including themselves. The story finds the competitors of this year's competition marooned on the wrong planet with most of their teammates and equipment missing. What starts as a game for glory soon descends into a race for survival as former enemies must band together...

Here is a trailer a science fiction film titled Sol. The film was written and directed by Benjamin Carland and stars, Jake Brown, Caleb Courtney, Sky King, Aaron Kuban, Spenser Pollard, Tyler Thomas, and Jake White. The trailer does not really execite me, but it does remind me of Lord of the Flies.
Synopsis:
"Sol" is a sci-fi motion picture event set in the distant future on a hostile alien planet. It follows a group of ambitious young adults as they embark upon the prestigious Sol Invictus competition in a quest to win fame and glory. The rules of the game are simple but dire: each of Earth's finest Academies sends their best and brightest to a remote planet in a race against the rest. The first team to pinpoint, out of all the stars in the sky, which one is Earth's faraway sun -- Sol -- is the winner.
