Summary: Just okay
Comment: I love a good sci-fi flick (it's been a while since we had one) and had heard good things about this movie. The first half was very good, really had me looking forward to seeing where Danny Boyle (the director) was going with this. Unfortunately I was quite disappointed by the last 20 to 30 minutes of the movie. Not only did he go the 'slasher flick' route to some extent, he also threw in some cerebral stuff which instead of adding to the movie, just had me scratching my head (several times near the end I was just confused as to what the heck was happening...never a good sign). Even in the most complex Star Trek movie (or in Kubrick's 2001, an obvious precursor to this flick), you had SOME idea of what was going on, etc. This was just confusing for the sake of being confusing. Again, I thought 3/4 of the movie was engrossing, well acted, and interesting...maybe you should skip the last 20 minutes and make up your own ending!

Summary: Only enjoyable if you're willing to change your expecations
Comment: This movie will only appeal to a small audience. It's not what you're looking for if you want to see a good space thriller with intense special effects and bloody fights. Granted, it IS a space thriller with intense special effects and bloody fights, but it's only run-of-the-mill as far as the genre goes. "Sunshine" is best viewed as a spiritual drama told through the sci-fi medium, and it's good at that. But if you don't want to wade through the explosions and the gore to get to the religious themes, this is also not the movie for you.

Summary: NOT 28 Days Later in Outer Space
Comment: Folks;
If you liked 28 Days Later and enjoyed the suspense and were intrigued by the role of Cillian Murphey, this review may be helpful to you. Firsy of all, this is not 28 Days Later, in spite of a few pretty good moments of "horror shock." I give this movie "A" for its original premise, "B" for its characters but a "C" for its overall storyline and execution. Wait until it's on "FearNet."

Summary: Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me begin......
Comment: A science fiction film is hard to come by these days. Because mainly we as a society have ran out of good futuristic ideas. Though this plots seems a little used they completely reinvent the idea. Even using sci/fi to create an eerie mood with a disturbing character added to the cast of astronauts. The plot-The sun has exstinguished and therefore we have sent a ship into outer space with nuclear bombs attached to it that will ram into the sun and hopefully reignite it. Along the way many problems occur and I will not ruin in plot developement. But I highly suggest this movie its a wonderful ride.

Summary: Good Story/Good Cast negated by a Lousy director
Comment: A good director with a good cast can take even a bad story and make a decent film. This movie had a wonderful cast and the story was original. This movie was marketed as a scifi thriller and I believe the screenplay was probably good. The first thirty minutes of the movie lived up to its expectations. However the movie quickly degenerated into a B slasher movie courtesy of Director Danny Boyle. Danny Boyle took what could have been a good movie and ruined it. Despite his critical acclaim he has never done anything original. 28 Days Later and its sequel were just variations of dawn of the dead. This movie is no different. It is almost exactly like the 1997 movie "Event Horizon". This movie would have been so much better without the shaky camera angles and extreme close ups that made the action sequences impossible to follow. A good director can build suspense and thrill you without using hokey camera tricks and gore. Put this one in the category of "Had great potential" and dont waste your time.
