1.0 out of 5 stars It was....well you'd have to see it to believe me. May 17 2004
By Risa Reif
Format:VHS Tape
This movie was a lot of things. It was funny (not funny haha, but funny that's retarded), it was silly, and it was amusing. One of the things, however, it was not, was good. My personal favorite part was when the children were break dancing with the glowing orb. Now this is a movie with substance. To begin the tale to which this movie is about, is to well, dig deep into one's imagination. (Or a psycho's.) You see there is this orpanage with these kids and they live during the future when there is no water on the surface of the planet. However, I'm not really sure of all the facts because my brain tends to weed out the useless info. Anyways, they find an orb, dance with it and try to escape for some reason. (Again, info has vanished....) Anyways, they run into and indian tribe, small cities, some people that live underground, etc. What I'm trying to say, is that this is definately a B movie. So unless you want to watch a bad movie with friends to laugh at, don't bother. Lesson learned from Solarbabies: If you find a glowing orb, be nice to it. It could help you save the world and teach you to break dance.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you don't get this you have no soul Jan 12 2004
By "dancingqueengeo"
Format:VHS Tape
I agree with the other positive reviewers that you had to have seen it in the 80's as a kid, with the idealistic view of the world and hope for humanity that does not exist in today's mainstream youth, to truly appreciate the nuances and deeper meanings of this movie and really understand what it's about. For all of you who wrote negative reviews, you just have no soul if you did not "get" this movie.
A group of orphans overcome obstacles to make their lives better, to save the earth from total destruction. A classic good vs. evil overall theme, and also survival of the fittest. Some of the meaning is lost in the ineptness of the creators of the film, but if you have any scrupples, and just a little heart and soul, you will understand it! Recommended for fans of Conan the Barbarian, Beyond Thunderdome, and those type of movies. If you like this movie, you will also like "28 Days Later".

5.0 out of 5 stars this one brings me back... Dec 4 2003
By "cotter_pin"
Format:VHS Tape
Okay. First of all, you have to understand that this is an 80's flick. If you watched (and enjoyed) this movie growing up in the 80's, then it will bring you back. Maybe i'm just a die-hard fan of post-apocolyptic-ish 80's movies, but this one is definatley fun. This movie needs to be released on DVD. Its up there with movies such as The Last Starfighter, The Lost Boys, Gremlins, and other great (semi-cheezy) 80's movies. If you like any of these movies, then Solarbabies is definatley a must see. But its mostly for people who saw it in the 80's and who still love 80's stuff (transformers, pop-culture, various other nostalgic items).
I love this movie, and i recommend for anyone who saw it and liked it growing up, to find a copy and have an enjoying movie night watching it again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beneath the Glotz
The story, or rather the spirit beneath the schlocky presentation of SOLARBABIES is rather wonderful. It must be veiwed in terms of it symbolism. Read more
