Exploding Sun

The first privately-owned space shuttle with 2 crew, 2 civilians, the President's wife, and the shuttle's owner takes off with the goal of flying around the moon. Dr. Craig Backus (Anthony Lemke) is the Chief Scientist and former NASA engineer who designed the aircraft. Solar flares cause a catastrophic failure involving the Scaler Drive that Backus invented. NASA has sent former astronaut/hero Cmdr Don Wincroft (David James Elliott) to observe. Don, Craig, and Cheryl (Natalie Brown), the President's current science advisor, were best friends back at NASA. Craig and Cheryl married, then divorced. When Don and Cheryl married, Craig broke off his friendship with Don. Lots of tension between Don and Craig throughout the movie. The stories of the two civilians are revealed, as well as the President's reaction to events.I bought this dvd because I am a huge DJE fan, but IMHO, it's Anthony Lemke who steals the show. Definitely worth the price of the dvd. I might have rated it 5-star except that disaster movies really aren't my thing.

Exploding Sun is another Fine Urbaned Disaster movie in my collection of disaster movies. That I enjoy, David James Elliot (JAG) have over 150 movies now. Watch them over n over again when there theirs nothing on tv but sports...................Crazyred

Loved David James Elliott n IMPACT, so I decided to try this one. Is a good enough movie. He needs to make more movies like this and Impact.

Not Elliot's best but entertaining none the less.

This film is essentially a remake of THE CORE with the space shuttle discovering the "planet-threatening disaster" stretched from 10 minutes to TWO HOURS. (Maybe the creators thought that people would enjoy TWO DISASTER MOVIES in the same package -- PART 1 being the space shuttle disaster and PART II being Bruce Willis's ARMAGEDDON). The production values and acting are very good, however. The only good part of PART II is that it shows that today in 2014 the ONLY method of interplanetary travel that man has yet developed is still Freeman Dyson's PROJECT ORION from 1957 (throwing a-bombs out of the back of the spaceship for propulsion).. So much for the future as depicted in "The Jetsons"..

I will watch anything David James Elliot is in, but the actual story plot on this movie makes it worth watching even if he hadn't been in it. Kinda scary to think something like this is even thought of.

An entertaining DVD---the price of the BD is not attractive in THESE economic times---the acting was okay; the SF/X would've been better on a smaller screen [I have a 55"].I was entertained... for a very long time, then came what I considered a disappointingclimax... sorta like my second ex-wife: it's probably better to remember the good times...and just forget the ending, eh?

Good plot and character development. If you love earth destruction movies, you will not be disappointed. A fun ride. B+

There is lots of action and suspense in this two part disaster movie. I would recommend this movie.

Film catastrophe tourné en partie à Léry QC

super 5stars as expected

Help, I Cannot watch This film. It is made for the American market. And I even checked the Amazon page for that. No remarks about that. I feel cheated!

Predictable mini series
