Solar Impact

I'm not sure what people want from a low budget film, the effects were great the acting good, camera a bit wobbly but you get used to it, I thought it was good, I'm glad I didnt go by the bad reviews and chose to watch it.

I know how it is with these movies where the characters make stupid moves. But to watch all the characters just constantly making stupid moves is too much to take. I know you can't go into a gun store in Europe like in most zombie movies, but could you at least carry something more than just one hammer.

No, its not Stephen King. No, the sun cant cause what youre seeing on a movie screen. No the images didnt look like real guts a gore. thank you for that. because you see, I want to see FICTION. A MOVIE. not "reality tv" and a movie that is standing on CGI like transformers does. I want to be taken away in a FAKE world. Not more of THIS one. If I want to see real guts and violence I will turn on the news.

Many want movies to be that. Yet they will turn around and praise vampire movies. Last time I checked, the living dead arent real either.

I like to be WILLING to enter the story. Funny how these reviews are. these same people have no issue playing a CGI video game showing crap that never could happen either.

Then again, maybe a giant ape really COULD hurl barrels at people from atop a building, and italians could fight him down!

When I picked up a copy of the 2019 movie "Solar Impact" I must admit that I initially thought that I was in for a natural disaster movie. I had not expected it to be a zombie movie, so that was somewhat of a surprise. Granted, I hadn't read the movie's synopsis before popping it on, I had merely just looked at the movie's front cover.

And while "Solar Impact" proved entertaining enough, it just failed to stand out as a particularly memorable outbreak movie. How so? Well, because everything was essentially just something you already have seen in other similar movies. So writer Simon Park didn't manage to produce something new here with the script for this movie.

For a zombie movie, then "Solar Impact" was pretty much a generic movie. But at least this movie gives a cause for the outbreak. A believable one, as believable as zombie outbreaks can be, well hardly so. But hey, it proved entertaining enough for what it was.

The acting in the movie was adequate, with no particular memorable or outstanding performances to be witnessed.

As for the special effect and make-up, well that was actually good enough. Sure, it wasn't up to par with the likes "The Walking Dead" and the like. But the make-up and special effects department at least managed to lift the movie well above the usual low-budget rubbish that is out there. You know, the zombie movies where they paint people's faces gray and darken the eyes, but forget about everything else from the neck down.

"Solar Impact" was watchable for a single viewing, but this is hardly an outbreak movie that I will be returning to watch a second time. Why? Well, the storyline was just way too generic and linear for that.

My rating of the 2019 movie "Solar Impact" lands on a very mediocre five out of ten stars. It wasn't among the best of zombie movies, but luckily it wasn't among the worst either. A flat out mundane entry in the outbreak genre.

It's just a weak story, with a lot wrong with it, such as why is it these creatures don't eat themselves, and how is it that they all seem to be mutating in exactly the same bizarre way. The CGI really is not bad. But to watch people simply fleeing the mutant cannibals, and falling into one bad situation and then miraculously finding a way out of it is simply not very involving.
