Wow! Such a good movie.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I had not heard of this movie. It is a cheaply made galactic version of "Lord of the Flies." That said, it stands reasonable well on its own. A group of boys find themselves on a planet during a competition among some space cadets. They are somehow dropped into a milieu that is not what they expected. One group is connected and the rest are singles who must prove themselves to the rest. There is a dangerous creature or creatures on the planet, but the real threat is within the group. They are caught between their competitive beings and their wish to escape their prison. The thing reeks of distrust and immaturity (which means that it does hit the mark pretty well). They are incredibly dangerous individuals and babies at the same time. They are selfish and simple, but they are also filed with angst and complexities. My biggest criticism is that we are never able to figure out what the hell they are doing there and what they are trying to accomplish when it comes to getting home. A clear picture of that would have taken it beyond an encounter among a diverse group of flawed figures. Also, I would have liked to know what life on Earth was like at this time.

I was utterly surprised at how poorly this movie was reviewed by some people.Bottom line, this movie had me in its grips from almost the beginning.While perhaps there were a few forced moments in the plot, I really didn't know what was going to happen, and yes, I cared about the characters.I watched this with my 9-year-old son and we both like it.For me there was an appropriate amount of mystery, and I even liked the spareness of the setting, the dialog and the plot.This movie is not about space. It's about PEOPLE.

You all got it wrong, this about trust, friendship and losing and finding friends. Friends you would die for. It takes a great deal of thought to get to this point, cost is not a consideration to this fact. I believe they have accomplished this well, Tyl & Eli did very well in my book. They show the compassion to help other players in life. Just as people today only think about themselves. The point of sharing and giving to others or even just compassion in relationships. In a time in the future that is so much like the world today. it is a little rough.I have imagination to fill in the blanks. Hey had to register for this cuz some want all the glitz and glamor. Sol got it done with less than Hollywood and i believe they did well!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I watched this movie but I was drawn into the plot from the first minute. The story revolves around teams of young people who are playing an galactic game called Sol. Teams of youths are transported to planets throughout the galaxy without knowing which planet they will land on and the winner is the first person to find our sun (Sol) in the night sky. Something goes wrong from the start and therein lies the story. I'm not sure why the other reviewer found this movie to be so bad. It's a suspenseful story, with shades of The Lord of the Flies and Robinson Crusoe about it. It's not overflowing with exciting special effects and has a bit of a low budget feel to it, but the interplay of the characters is interesting and overall, I found the movie to be a thought-provoking and satisfying experience.
