Sunshine.

**3pidemiC** · 03-Dec-2008

I just watched Danny Boyle's Sunshine on Blu-Ray. I really enjoyed it.

Reminds me a lot of 2001.

Thoughts?

I posted about it on here a while back, quite a while back in fact I think, when I saw it in the cinema.

I personally loved it ... Neil on the other hand just bitches and moans about it all the time.

*waits for Neil to unfurl his list of complaints about the film*

I don't bitch about it all the time... Just whenever I get the opportunity

Come on, it does have some very daft moments

It's by no means a bad film though!

Loved this film. Can't wait for Slumdog Millionaire.

Never seen the movie, Maybe I will in the near future.

Yeah, Sunshine is wonderful. A beauty to look at and a 'save-the-earth' disaster movie with brains...till Pinbaker made his appearance, then the movie suffered a fair bit. A very poorly handled antagonist, IMO.

A nice discussion was also had about the movie a little while ago here.

i just watched this right after 28 weeks later as my latest blockbuster acquisitions and its a beautiful film but really a homage to 2001 by the end, i was expecting to see the irish bloke at age 90 in a bed with slash playing the solo from november rain off to the side. itsa great flick but something bugs me, if penbroker or whatever his name was survived, whats stopping the other guy? why commit suicide in the sun room when theres plants for food and air? id at least have given a week to try and see if i could jerry rig a way home yknow?

but thats just nit picking it was a great flick, though i cant help but feel it was meant to have some undertone in the same vein as the stand for some reason.

Erm ... all the plants were toasted, there wasn't enough air already, and certainly not going to be any from all the plants being burned up. Plus, everything went to hell in a hand basket and he had to manually sever the payload in order to get it into position to kick start the sun ... also, he was trapped in the airlock, and had to blast open the outer door to open the inner door (which he burnt a small hole through with a welding torch), so there was actually no air whatsoever in the ship.

I agree with, MZ. The guy was also a bit of a fatalist, which--at that point--can be totally expected. I mean, the Earth is freezing into an ice block, everyone you love is facing a cold death, your species is staring extinction in the face, you've been shot-off on a probable one-way mission of the diciest order and now you're basically marooned on a fizzled hulk facing a slow death.

Go out in style, some might say. And what better way than turning the burner up to 11?
