SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

am_gh-03573 Capa was the responsible for messing everything up. You may like the beginning of the movie but you won't like the way it ends cuz every body dies at the end

Tweetienator Danny Boyle did a damn good job here - fine and impressive design and visuals, great score, great atmosphere and a well acting cast. Sunshine is one of my favorite flicks regarding space travels and astronauts spiced with a good shot of melancholy and emotional depth. And imo many reviewers writing negative about the movie don't understand or see that Sunshine is (imo) less a story about space and astronauts and physics but a reflection about the circle of life and death (and the awareness of the human being about that one last great mystery) itself.

lora-jen Interesting sci-fi movie, nothing mind blowing but well worth a watch. Could have been interesting to see more on the first ship. Few minor plot holes where things are slightly unbelievable, for instance the huge task for just one crew member to undertake, would not be logical to make calculations without having someone else to double check.

thornethomas707 So I never heard of this movie before today so when I read about it on IMDb I thought the idea could make for a great film so I decided to watch it... So here's the thing I thought the way they decided to portray such an incident like the sun dying and them trying to save it as kinda ridiculous. My first thought was that yes the story would be based on the ship but there would be a fulfilling and rich back story on how this horrible thing came to be and on the characters lives so that I could fully fill connected but instead that was not the case. The whole plot was a bunch of Astronauts on a mission to save the sun. The rest of the film is just a bunch of effects and ridiculous situations. Overall I couldn't connect to this film at all. The main reason for that was because I didn't know anything about the characters and thus didn't really care what happened to them. It was a Good idea just in my opinion badly directed, It could of been great.
