How “Obsessed” (2009, Steve Shill) Was I About This Film?

Superman (1978): Five Stars
On the planet Krypton, three insurrectionists are sentenced to “eternal living death” in what’s called the Phantom Zone for attempting totalitarian rebellion, much thanks to the evidence provided by the widely respected scientist Jor-El. However, he is unable to convince them that their Kryptonian sun is due to explode soon, engulfing their entire planet. In response, Jor-El sends his only infant son, Kal-El, in a spacecraft en route to Earth where exposure to a yellow sun will advance him with superpowers (as it would do for any Kryptonian life-form).
