Sunshine (2007)
6/10
Spectacular, but in the end, silly
26 October 2007
Sunshine is the story of the crew of the Icarus, a spaceship on a voyage to our sun. The sun is dying and Icarus carries a nuclear "payload" which will re-ignite the sun. It all sounds ridiculous, but hey - it's the future! If you can get past this, then Sunshine offers some really enjoyable aspects.

The film shows how each character reacts to their situation and I found the performances to be enjoyable. The setting offers some brilliant visuals and at times is stunning. Contrasts become apparent in this film - light and dark, hot and cold, bravery and cowardice, life and death.

For all of these enjoyable aspects, the ending is really silly and the film would have been much more without it. Some creative editing was needed to stop it from looking as silly as it felt (if you've seen it, you know what I mean).
