 Rating:  - Great movieThe Race the Sun was used in my classroom to introduce the Science Fair concept and literary elements of a story. The DVD came in plastic wrap, new condition and the delivery was quick. Rating:  - E Ola Mau Ka 'Olelo Hawai'i!Race the Sun (1996) is the story of a racing team from Konawaena High School in Hawaii that built a solar powered car and raced it in the World Solar Challenge in Australia. The course covers 2000 miles of Australia's worst road conditions - the Stuart Highway, from Darwin to Adelaide. The surface of the asphalt called bitumen, a mix of rougher and larger stones to resist road wear and increase traction during flash floods, is very rough on the tires. Extreme road temperatures are also common (150 degrees Fahrenheit). Several off-asphalt detours provide especially trying conditions for the experimental vehicles. Other hazards include three trailer road trains that are nearly fifty meters long and travel at better than 70 mph along the highway, ...

It's neither ambitious nor technically brilliant; in fact the cinematography somehow manages to NOT capture the inherent scenic beauty of a series of Hawaiian and Australian locations. But the casting and directing are solid and the story has so much charm that you don't mind it being corny and predictable. Halle Berry and James Belushi play teachers at a Hawaiian technical high school who reluctantly sponsor a team of students building a solar-powered car. "Race the Sun" was inspired by a group of Hawaiian students who actually entered the World Solar Challenge in ...

If you are from Hawaii, don't expect all the characters to be authentic - seems like they had mainland actors trying to act like locals. The acting and the script were sub-par. Fortunately, I watched on TV so I could turn away whenever the racing part was not on. Who wants to watch typical adolescent conversations if they can avoid it? This is one of those stupid PG movies that will not hold an adult's interest but they throw in some bad words and a middle finger so you wouldn't want your kids to watch it. Rating: - superbI teach science and this is entertaining and deals with science and science fairs, the kids love it and it is inspirational. The students (I have 6th graders) look up the world solar challenge (which is still going on) and the Kono Poly team who is still competing, on the internet. |
