Sorry, this movie sucks
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
In a similar category of Armageddon this film depicts a crew that is sent to detonate a solar bomb into the sun to re-ignite it so to speak. The premise is the sun is dying and the world will go into total darkness and freeze everyone.The plausibility of this actually being able to occur in the law of physics and cosmology, it is a mute point. However in the glorious revolution of film anything is possible. The plot itself takes place on a space satellite called Icarus, transitioning towards the sun and the lives of the 8 crew members. Brilliantly written, as the effort given by each character gives to the atmosphere in which decision making is crucial.The cinematography and editing are well placed throughout the film and the entire movie moves at a good pace. Chris Evans, Cliff Curtis, Cillian Murphy all give top notch performances. I give this a well deserved 7/10
No doubt! This is one of the best movies ive seen . Go see this! Sound, music, shots, actors all top notch.
Drama created out of nothing, worst movie ever written, stopped watching after 4th death, or was it 5th, who cares!
Film Review: "Sunshine" (2007)With over one year in post-production after principal photography in the year of 2005, Director Danny Boyle delivers a stand-out independent science-fiction thriller produced by DNA films, who had engaged Alex Garland as screenwriter and Andrew MacDonald as producer. Together they send a classic scenario of a spaceship crew on a mission to revive the sun by shooting a nuke into its core. The cast surrounds actor Cillian Murphy as Robert Capa, who keeps his nerve, while all other, including Cliff Curtis, Rose Byrne, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh and Hiroyuki Sanada as space-walking, sunshield-repairing and ultimately sunlight-confronting Captain Kaneda, slowly get consumed by an space-travel assignment that is believed to be suicide in the name of humanity in the purest sense.Director Danny Boyle, clearly admiring Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and "Alien" (1979) directed by Ridley Scott, makes his own signature mark on the genre of science-fiction with the picture "Sunshine", benefiting from Alwin Küchler's innovative as striking cinematography embedded in golden gloss of the death-bringing star in the midst of our solar system underlined with a mesmerizing original soundtrack by composer John Murphy, who created with his track "Adagio in D Minor" an ear-piercing high-emotion pitching centerpiece of music, which carries the main theme within the constant pounding, constant thrilling film for a 100 minutes throughout to be encountered by the unknowing as returning viewers alike.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
