Where to Watch Solo
- gnrrainDecember 14, 2025Still a fun watch even almost 30 years later. Mario Van Peebles is in peak physical form for this role and he does a truly decent job with it. Adrian Brody is great to see as always and plays an interesting character crucial to the story. The effects are what you expect from anything in the nineties and early oughts without the incessant CGI crutch. It holds up to this day, unlike many others that wanted to be front and center with the beginnnig of the CGI boom. This is a great action/adventure/AI movie that might be more fitting into the current zeitgeist than when it was originally made. Give it a shot. It's got heart. Keep expectations in check and have fun with it.
