Superman: Solar

Wow. Yes this movie is about comic book universe, its exciting, great vfx music and full of fun superhero moments...

... but what it is.. is a deep and real story that everyone can relate to. This is a relatable story to anyone and mental health is the main focus, which I loved.

I want to say congrats to this team to create such a stunning, interesting and exciting fan film on a very small budget. Smaller than what anyshow or movie would spend on one persons wardrobe.

I will be sending and sharing this to my family and friends and i think this film will live on for years to come and touch many more fans.

For a fan film with a pretty small budget they deliver an exciting and no traditional superman story.

The creators really understand what superman is. He's a friend, to everyone.

While this film has some outstanding vfx moments and plenty of action the story is driven around a very real and relatable thing many of us go through in our lives... depression. The pacing is fantastic and keeps you excited.

I saw some low ratings and couldnt figure out why, read more into it... seems like silly review bombing because of opposing political views which had nothing to do with this film or its message.

Is the acting perfect? No. But its a fan film.

The costume? Sets? Spcial effects? And story? That is perfect!

Great job to the team!

Seeing as it's a fan film the bar was set pretty low but I found some important aspects of the film was done poorly the casting was bad as none of the actors seemed to be able to "act" and I don't mean in an amateur way like basically just reading the script back to you which would have been better if that wasn't also bad at the core of the film itself it's characters it tried to depict were clearly not understood if not of the big s I doubt you would be a able to tell superman or the bald head Lex Luther it's not a professional film so I'll cut it some slack it's OK watch to while away time and not taken too seriously.

I rarely watch a fan film that I dislike as usually the fan's love for the source material shines through any janky cgi and cinematography, in this instance that is not the case.

The acting is straight up emotionless, the writing borders on comedically bad and the way Superman is framed is wish fulfilment ignoring who the character has been since conception.

This is a film to appease people who don't know enough about Superman, don't know his personal dynamics and don't know how Lois Lane works.

There are so many weird cuts between shot as well that look like a bunch of random interconnected scenes thrown together.

Where to begin... Their is so much love and care to a story in this. Yes plenty of fun easter eggs and superman moments but at its core its a story we can all relate to about mental health.

They really capture supermans greatest ability, his care and love for others.

When you realize this is a fan film on a shoe string budget it's even more shocking how good it is. At times the VFX rival movies and high dollar TV... The locations/costumes are top notch... The acting touched me on a personal level. Lois was perfect, Superman was perfect and I loved the character of Matt.

Watch this with an openmind and remembering its a fan filmand youll have a good time!
