Sunshine

I might go check this out. There are too few quality sci-fi films made these days. (At least the fantasy genre is getting more fleshed-out with LotR, Harry Potter, Narnia, etc.) I honestly have not heard about this film before viewing this thread, however - how do they expect the film to do well without advertising?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I enjoyed 28 Days Later but recently saw 28 Weeks Later and thought it was some of the most mindless trash I've ever witnessed. So, no wonder that I really didn't see the point of Sunshine. I spent a lot of the movie just trying to see the lead character as non-creepy, since I've only seen the actor play villians. It was jarring to me to try to emphathize with him.

I think there was a lot of so-called "art" for art's-sake in this film, that was in the end pointless. For example, the spiritual side of the light. What was the point, if they didn't in the end take that idea anywhere? I did not fell that theme was tied back into the characters, or into the ending of the film.

In the end, what could have been a highly philosophical sci-fi film derailed into a completely standard "madman tries to murder the whole crew" plot. Heck, that plot's been around since there's been sailing ships on the high seas let alone science fiction.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
