"Cross-Posted from Giraffe Versus Unicorn. Danny Boyle's Sunshine is a gorgeous psychological thriller set in the confines of the Icarus II space station, as it makes it's way towards the sun to deliver a bomb that will reignite the dieing star.The eight-strong crew of the Icarus II are instructed to carry out their goal as follows: the ship will fly within reach of the sun and fire it's payload of nuclear material, 'equal in mass to Manhattan Island', into it's very heart, while propelling themselves away within a four minute deadline. Only, they're met with a myriad of problems along the way.When they receive a distress beacon from the crew of the Icarus I, the first attempt at such a huge mission, the decision to chance docking with the other ship or continuing with the task at hand is left to Cillian Murphy's Capa, the ship's physics expert and the only person capable of delivering the payload.Events take a turn for the worse and the movie broadens it's outlook as it enters it's ...

"Yah...I think "Disturbing" is the most applicable tag in the cloud for this movie. It struck a strange sort of Hellraiser chord with me. Frankly, I found it hard to watch. Not because it wasn't interesting. The premise was pretty cool. Somehow it was just...disturbing... "

"I am a big Danny Boyle fan. Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and Millions are among my favorite movies so it was with great anticipation that I went to see Sunshine. I hadn't read any reviews (purposely) so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. The trailer makes it seem as if it is a sci-fi horror/thriller type of thing but the first half of the movie is a much more sedate 2001 experience. It is beautifully shot and set up and there is a slow tension that builds as the crew of the ship heads toward its destination. There is a shift in tone though and the movie becomes much more conventional (in story) and far more active (in direction). There are many similarities to Event Horizon in the final act but they are done to better effect in that movie. I enjoyed it despite its flaws. the acting is good and in some parts great. Cillian Murphy, as always, shines and Chris Evans, Michele Yeoh and Rose Byrne are solid. I am ever impressed with dir "

"Okay first off- spout "experts" are VERY wrong about this movie..This movie is brilliant not to mention completely original. It reels you in and doesn't stop. It's a great movie with great actors it doesn't get much better. Event Horizon really does master the pyschological aspect. If you're lookin for a good horror movie check this out. This movie ventures out into areas a lot of films don't mess with but it does it in a way to where you can still understand it and not get thrown back. give it a shot-you might like it "
