I think it started out really well. I was interested, I was intrigued, I cared. But as soon as they boarded the first Icarus ship, I got flashbacks from Alien for some reason. And then a raving lunatic boarded THEIR ship, and low and behold, we was a madman.

It was predictable. It had potential I guess, but I really didn't enjoy it AT ALL.

I guess I am too used to space films of this nature having a really grandiose, underlying theme. I think I was expecting that from Sunshine, but I didn't find anything too profound in it. =/

No, I too loathed this movie. It'd be a compliment to call Danny Boyle the witless Kubrick. "Pretentious" is often bestowed upon pics like The Assassination of Jesse James but I haven't seen anything as philosophically blank and heavy-handed since Crash (ok fine, In The Valley of Elah). That Boyle strives for greatness makes it all the more embarrassing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
