1/10
Solarbabies is difficult to watch.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is about children raised in a prison type orphanage after a post-apocalyptic earth.

The children are supposed to be teenagers, but the only one close is the character played by Lucas Hass who was 10 years old when this movie was released. The rest are in their early to mid twenties and it shows they are older.

The acting is bad and not believable, it is difficult to like this movie. They have a pet owl, and it is unfortunately shot by one of the villain's henchmen, the group decides it should be buried but for some reason don't know why they have this feeling. I know it's based on the script but the actors should have complained.

Someone said people would walk out of Star Wars (IV A New Hope)if they saw it in the theaters today. I disagree, at least Star Wars had a good story and is/was watchable even today. Solarbabies filming looks dated and old, while Star Wars IV remains fresh. I saw it when it first came out in 1977 and went to it any chance I got, I was 8 years old at the time. As VCRS were many years away at that time.

Do not wast your time with this movie, it is difficult to enjoy.
