Sunshine








Director - Danny Boyle

Genre - Adventure/Sci-Fi/Thriller


This movie by Danny Boyle is a complete disappointment. The sun is dying and a group of scientists are sent to re-ignite it. What is this? 'Armageddon 2'? There are some nice shots here of the sun which is treated like a god-like entity for some reason but the rest of the film is just too cliched and melodramatic. Michelle Yeoh's portrayal of a plant-loving scientist deserves singling out for being one of the most annoying characters ever in movies. Overlong, overcooked and overly pretentious.

2 STARS!

I loved the first 1/2 of this...that was why I like reading/watching sci-fi. The last 1/3 or 1/2 was a total disaster for me! The shift in story was ridiculous and over the top.

Be ye not fooled, Replicant. The thing is stupid all the way through. Give it a moment's thought, then ask yourself one simple question: Are these the people I would entrust with a mission this important? (Hint: the answer rhymes with "blow.")

hmm i duno man. i enjoyed the movie.
i loved the godlikeness/druglikeness of the sun. i loved the twist/ish dude at the end.
there was a lot of pretentious dialogue but thats down to alex garland who is king of pretentious dialogue. i thought 28 days later had a lot more cringy moments.
the visuals and the music was great in this.
