In a post-apocalyptic future ruled by the military, a group of renegade teenage orphans find a legendary orb, Bohdai, that can supposedly bring the rain back to dried up Earth. In the future, a nuclear war has left the Earth as a desert wasteland where the ocean has dried up leaving the Earth as a vast desert landscape. Most of the water supplies are controlled by the elite corporation E-Protecorate, where the E-Protectcorate takes children away from their families and are forced to live in a orphanage, where they are to be trained as E-Police, the E-Protectcorate's security army led by the cruel commanding officer Grock. After playing a game of Skateball (Hockey on Rollerskates) against their rival team 'The Scorpions'. Daniel, the youngest member of the Solarbabies discovers a glowing orb from another galaxy called Bodahi in a mineshaft and Bodahi heals Daniel's deafness. The Solarbabies learn Bodahi has amazing powers. And the discovery of Bodahi convinces the Solarbabies to escape from the Orphange and fight back against the E-Protectcorate. Pursued by Grock, who is after Bodahi, The Solarbabies travel across the desert wasteland, where Bodhai is the key in their quest to defeat the E-Protectcorate and liberate the world from it's control. I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!<br/><br/>If you like apocalypse / post-apocalypse and you are aware that this is a teenage movie, I don't know why you wouldn't like it! It is really cool, story is good, they made an effort to create post-apocalyptic world and everything else works fine. Kids are not acting well, that I must admit, but they are kids… and pretty much all other 80s teenage movies have the same problem, but that does not mean Solarbabies should have 4.8 ( as in this moment ). It is a solid movie, and if you like apocalypse I am sure that you will like this one, too.<br/><br/>6/10 My dad had a strange habit of taping all 48 hours of the free HBO<br/><br/>weekends when I was a kid. Fortunately for me, that's how I found<br/><br/>some of my favorite films! When I'd stay home from school with<br/><br/>the flu, I'd sift through the tapes and watch whatever caught my<br/><br/>eye. After I saw this one, it became my regular "sick day" film and<br/><br/>one I'd watch any time I was just hanging around on a rainy<br/><br/>afternoon. I remember I loved it because it was about kids doing<br/><br/>something about their problems and making the situation better -<br/><br/>heck, they saved the world! That's the kind of film every kid likes!
