A horribly dated movie but the ignition of Jupiter into a star still drops my jaw every time.

The physics doesn’t work. You’d need about 30 more Jupiters to gob together just to get to red dwarf territory.

I think it holds up pretty damned well for 30+-year-old sci-fi. But there will still be night; Jupiter will be on the same side as the sun for years at a time. And the damage to the ecosystem (most animals thrive at night) will be incalculable.
