Watch how you word yourself, because you may be putting yourself in a hole:

...stupidest person of all time..?

Anyway, I loved this movie when I was quite young. Saw it on TV all the time. Now I'd probably dislike it, but still, I will have to check it out again to be sure.

...the OP pulls off the feat of being a superlative that doesn't exist.

In any case, it makes little sense to create a post with zero elaboration behind it.

To be fair, it's not a very good movie--by any standards really. I don't see why the need to post such a non-expansive and relatively trollish post came about, but attacking is just as bad.

Solarbabies = not a good movie, but a excellent nostalgic experience.

Yeah, I finally got a chance to download it and see it again after all these years. It is indeed a great nostalgic experience. But one thing's for sure... a good story is there to be made into a potentially good film. This obviously misses the mark, but it brings back memories like crazy..

Oh yeah...the memories are back. "Bodai, I can hear!!!" That alone makes it all worth it. Poor, poor Mr. Haas.

When I was a kid, I thought it was the greatest movie of all times.
I watched it today for the second time in my life, and I still love it.
True that it misses a lot, and there is little 'development' but what do you expect from 94 minutes- in the 80's no less?
I'd love to see an indepth remake- or a sci-fi miniseries to go further in depth with the story.

Very close to being the worst movie of all time. Very close indeed...

From an adult viewpoint, pretty bad but hardly the worst ever. Note, though, those who first saw it as a kid loved it, because it's a kid's movie (kid meaning the 20th centure version of a kid, not the 21st). Realistic good guys, cartoonish bad guys (and their props and costumes) reminded me of Saturday morning TV shows when I was a kid.

I loved this movie as a kid, and still like it. I looked for the name of it for years before I finally saw it again...I thought it was called "rollar babies" and if saw that movie you would undoubtedbly know this is not the worst movie of all time.

a) How about some elaboration? What did you dislike about it?

— also —

b) I feel you're mistaken by a wide margin:

Ever see any of the movies of Uwe Boll? My favorite bad example of his work is Bloodrayne. This seems to the only movie I've seen that considers vampires to be a separate race of people — and one of the characters is a vampire-human half-breed. (All other vampire movies I've seen treat it more like an "infection" that can be transmitted by making the human drink the blood of a vampire.) It's set in an Eastern European country some time in the Middle Ages — however this country appears to be about 200 years behind in technology compared to the rest of Europe of that era. Except in women's clothing; the two female leads (both the good one and the bad one) are running around in skin-tight leather cat suits that will not be seen again until the very late 20th century — and, when things get athletic and the waistband pulls down a little, you can even see tan lines for a string bikini (or is it a thong?). The sequel is set in the American Wild West and is even more a waste of time than is this one.

Ever see any of the movies of Ed Wood? Everyone's favorite bad example is Plan 9 from Outer Space. It's so bad it's laughable.

And there's always:
• Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
• Killer Klowns from Outer space
• Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

At least Earth Girls Are Easy doesn't try to take itself seriously.

Now that's what I call elaboration. Much better than saying something is the worst of something and just leaving it as a broken sentence fragment. That is a reply a child or invalid would make.

Not the worst movie of all time.

Certainly not the best, but not the worst either (that honor(?) goes to Birth of a Nation).

It's only a great movie if you seen in back in the 80s when you were a kid; in reality, 30 yrs later, it sucks just as bad now (well probably worse) than back in the good ole days.

Its crap alright, but i'd rather watch this trash than, say, an olsen twins movie. And the olsen twins made like 10 films that even tweenagers hated. You cant get crapper than that.
