For the first thirty minutes I was wondering what the hell was going on in the movie. Something about someone space walking somewhere outside the ship and the ship is turning but it's too dark to make anything out for what... Full review

This was a very wonderful and memorable movie. The story was somewhat believable due to our heightened awareness of scientific issues. It was easily acceptable, the fact that the sun is dying. However, the idea of actually trying to re-ignite it... Full review

Great ensemble cast. Intriguing story. The end turns into more of a horror movie than seems necessary but overall a very good movie. Chris Evans (The Human Torch from the Fantastic Four films) is surprisingly very very good in this!... Full review

This movie had impressive CG, great sets, and good acting. What was lacking was a consistent storyline and good direction. The first half of the movie rolled along pleasantly with everything nicely in place. However, the second half was full of... Full review

I like thinky movies. This is not a thinky movie, though I think the director or the producer or somebody seems to believe it is. The story is not merely implausible, but poorly written and poorly put together. The acting is... Full review

But Sunshine is a far better film than its storyline may suggest.
Taking a premise based on scientific fact, filmmaker Danny Boyle has created a wonderfully visual sci-fi thriller, taut with tension and spectacular special effects.

That's not to say that it's not a very good movie, or that it doesn't make you question your cynicism about humanity just a bit, but compared to Boyle's earlier works, it just doesn't measure up.
Boyle's style suffers from artistic ADD; it consciously shifts and changes with each of his varied projects
