A novel blend of doomsday thriller and meditative science fiction, Danny Boyle's Sunshine imagines a disturbing future in which mankind must re-ignite the sun or face total extinction. A team of scientists and crew members (played by an eclectic cast that includes Cillian Murphy from Boyle's 28 Days Later, The Fantastic Four's Chris Evans, Rose Byrne of TV's Damages, and martial-arts legend Michelle Yeoh) is dispatched to the dying star, but disaster strikes from almost every conceivable angle; as the crew is whittled down by accidents and psychological breaks, the survivors must discover a way to carry out the mission or seal the fate of the world's population. Alternately exciting and pensive, Sunshine's dichotomous tone may throw viewers expecting a special-effects bonanza (though the film's visuals are frequently stunning), but for those who recall such cerebral '70s efforts as Silent Running and Phase IV, Boyle's unusual take will be refreshing and even fascinating. The DVD includes commentaries by Boyle and Dr. Brian Cox, who served as the film's science advisor; Boyle also lends his voice to a brace of deleted scenes, including an alternate ending (which doesn't improve on the one used in the film). Thorough production diaries cover every aspect of the film's execution, from casting to special effects design, while a pair of unrelated short films by Chris Shepherd and Dan Arnold seems to be included only as a gesture of Boyle's appreciation for these directors. --Paul Gaita
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Burns bright early, but fades fast
I really wanted to like this movie.Even though it was largely panned by critics, I fully expected to like it."Uneven" is the word that comes to mind.For every thing that it does right, it does something else horribly wrong.
I won't get into the details of the plot, as those can easily be found elsewhere.I will say this: the film starts off well enough and genuinely seems to be going somewhere.Then the plot holes become too large to ignore and it quickly turns into a steaming ... Read More
Rating:  - Just okay
I love a good sci-fi flick (it's been a while since we had one) and had heard good things about this movie.The first half was very good, really had me looking forward to seeing where Danny Boyle (the director) was going with this.Unfortunately I was quite disappointed by the last 20 to 30 minutes of the movie.Not only did he go the 'slasher flick' route to some extent, he also threw in some cerebral stuff which instead of adding to the movie, just had me scratching my head (several times near the ...

Rating:  - Only enjoyable if you're willing to change your expecations
This movie will only appeal to a small audience. It's not what you're looking for if you want to see a good space thriller with intense special effects and bloody fights. Granted, it IS a space thriller with intense special effects and bloody fights, but it's only run-of-the-mill as far as the genre goes. "Sunshine" is best viewed as a spiritual drama told through the sci-fi medium, and it's good at that. But if you don't want to wade through the explosions and the gore to get to the religious themes, this ... Read More
Rating: - NOT 28 Days Later in Outer Space
Folks;
If you liked 28 Days Later and enjoyed the suspense and were intrigued by the role of Cillian Murphey, this review may be helpful to you.Firsy of all, this is not 28 Days Later, in spite of a few pretty good moments of "horror shock."I give this movie "A" for its original premise, "B" for its characters but a "C" for its overall storyline and execution.Wait until it's on "FearNet."
Rating: - Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me begin......
A science fiction film is hard to come by these days. Because mainly we as a society have ran out of good futuristic ideas. Though this plots seems a little used they completely reinvent the idea. Even using sci/fi to create an eerie mood with a disturbing character added to the cast of astronauts. The plot-The sun has exstinguished and therefore we have sent a ship into outer space with nuclear bombs attached to it that will ram into the sun and hopefully reignite it. Along the way many problems occur and ... Read More
