Sunshine. 07/10
The premise is good...REALLY good. A group of astronauts going to re-ignite the dying sun in the future...then facing such unforeseen moments of terror because...(here's the plot twist so I wont spoil it).
And coming from Danny Boyle of 28 Days/Weeks Later fame, this ought to be good. The effects are mind-blowing, and are some of the best I ve seen in a movie so far. If it wasnt for some of the weaker characterisations and some loss of atmospheric creepiness in the latter half of the movie, I would have given it an 8 or a 9.
But this is one truly fantastic sci-fi movie of recent times. It is unsettling, disturbing and depressing, and manages to keep you glued till the end.
Watch it. Recommended by me.
