"That Solar Crisis’ direction is credited to one Alan Smithee rather than Richard C Sarafian is the first sign of an unhappy production. From the late 60s to the late 90s, Alan Smithee was a pseudonym used by any director who’d chosen to disown a movie, meaning that Solar Crisis joins the small but unhappy club which also includes Hellraiser: Bloodline and The Shrimp On The Barbie."
