In 1968, Earth was hit by a supernova that stopped its rotation once
and for all, exposing the American continent to the sun all day and night.
Now it's 2015, and humans are still alive in America, thanks to technique
of changing one's skinsack every 24 hours, and while most other fruit have
become extinct, the kiwi strives in the climate and has become
Americankind's sole food source. That said, Earth is presently facing
another threat, again a supernova, only this time the dying sun's much
closer and its explosion might blow up Earth (including America) for good.
The national space agency has devised a plan to send fuel up to the dying
sun for it to regenerate, but unfortunately they're not yet very good at
launching rockets. So they call back in their former chief technician
fallen from grace Leonard (played by Matthew Schmid, Alyssa Truszkowski,
Zachary Uzupis subsequently) who has long become a recluse making a living
working for a navigation hotline. And Leonard isn't too eager to come
back, especially since he finds himself threatened by aliens. But when a
fire breaks out in the space agency headquarters destroying all their
rockets, Leonard realizes its upon him to build a rocket from scratch to
send up to the dying sun to divert the apocalypse. But that said, the
space aliens are still around ... Ok, the science in this movie
makes little sense - and it's not even supposed to, instead tries (and
succeeds) to comically mirror the science of yesteryear's science fiction
pulps, something that's further mirrored in everything from stilted
dialogue to unnatural acting to cheap and campy costumes and set designs -
and even though the results an utter spoof, it's less done out of mockery
but as a hommage to 1950s low budget American science fiction (with the
emphasis on "America" in my synopsis above taken directly from
the movie), done in a very low budget but in fact highly inventive way -
and the result is truly endearing for the true science fiction fan, and
utterly hilarious for everyone, no matter if fan or not!
