Here's the set up. Earth is going to be half fried by a giant flare the sun is getting ready to shoot off. A ship is sent to drop a bomb on the sun to make the flare go off away from Earth.
Not a bad premise, and the film has a lot going for it. But...
The problem is with a subplot. Half the population is in danger of being fried to death, and someone on Earth wants the mission to fail.
Why?
Otherwise there are great special effects, a few tense scenes with real conflict. If they had edited out that sub plot, it would be a much better film.
Still recommended for science fiction / space buffs. Worth a look.
