Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

xemochickx I only watched this for the first time tonight. I get small actor obsessions, and make a point to see all I can that they've done. My current one is Keith Coogan (he was credited as Keith Mitchell). And I found out my library had this movie, so I checked it out.I am so amazingly glad I did check it out. It gave me a sort of indescribable feeling. When the kids see the sun...It reminded me of how wonderful that kind of thing was when I was a kid. I'm only 15, but it seems I'd totally forgotten. In that particular scene, it captures a great feeling of innocence, awe and wonder that only a younger kid can get. And everything else in the movie is wonderful too. Though a depressing story, and I found myself on the verge of tears when Margot sticks her hand into the small strip of sunlight, it's beautiful. And I also think the kids did a wonderful job. I was amazed at how well they captured honest emotion and...I'm horrible at describing things, and this movie gave me an indescribable feeling.And I'm glad I'm not the only one to love this so much...Reading the other reviews, they all make perfect sense. Other than the whole seeing it on PBS when you were young. I figure that most kids my age won't get to see this...and I'm gonna make a point to share it.

mkmcq I saw this movie about 15 years ago, in the 6th grade, and have never forgotten it. Images from the movie are emblazoned on my brain, despite the fact that I didn't even know what the movie was called until I looked it up just now.I find it somewhat remarkable that so many of the comments listed here are so similar -- saw the movie when young, but still remember it a couple decades later. That alone says a lot about it. It was an extremely powerful movie, using an exotic, scifi setting to highlight some of the greatest failings of human behavior and interaction and emphasize the role and potential power of visionaries and dreamers. It's really a shame that this movie is so hard to find (unless, apparently, you are an elementary school teacher). It is a visually stunning film -- the dreary scenes of unrelenting rain, the UV room, and finally the brief moments of real sun at the end. Haunting, and definitely worth seeking out.

shlavacek Well, first off it is a great story, which I think the movie does it justice. Imagine living without the sun, if you are live to 42 years old you will see the Sun for a total of 6 Hours, well imagine being a child and seeing it for the first time. This Movie captures the emotion and wonderment of the children as well as the adult, with a great twist as only Ray Bradbury can turn.

dslaramee I saw this movie when I was little and I have never, ever forgotten it. I agree with one commentee on the fact that the scene after the rain stops is quite dramatic. I remember crying, and actually feeling the deep sadness, anger, and unfairness as if I were the girl myself. Why can't they show this film on tv anymore? I can't even buy this film online. I just absolutely loved Wonderworks productions, and this was probably the best. It was as good as reading the story, and that hardly ever happens.
