Can anyone prove they've repeated this? If not can they tell me the exact moment in the film where this happens?
Repeated what? Please be more clear with your question and I will try to answer it.

Even though the huge complex of sun spots is not flaring or very active, on the 21st those spots will be lined up with us like the barrel of a shotgun. Any extra influence, say a large body could be devastating. Not much mention on what they are doing.

A large biosphere placed between Earth and the sun could shield us from our sun.
As of now 1633 looks like a dud.

They would all melt down uncontrollably. Every single last one. Without the electricity to pump water to cool them or drop in control rods or whatever they would all go critical pretty quickly. It would be the end of us all
Some would, if they run out of fuel for their emergency generators. But there are reactors which use the heat from the core to drive pumps.
Within scope of the thread a flare that had enough power to fry our electronics would also fry those generators and any computers whih would tell them to turn on.

They are also rapidly deteriorating.

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest event of the period was a B5 event from Region 1633 (S07E13) at 19/0447 UTC. Region 1633 has shown decay in the leader spot and is once again magnetically classified as a beta group. All three numbered regions on the disk have remained stable and quiet. The background x-ray levels, as measured by the GOES 15 spacecraft, continue to decrease. STEREO B EUVI imagery indicates that no new regions will be rotating into view for the next 3 days. SDO magnetogram imagery suggest emerging flux around N05W01, however none of our land based solar observatories have mentioned the presence of sunspots. SOHO C2 and C3 imagery show a large streamer liftoff, however analysis indicated the associated CME is not Earth directed.
