Sunshine

A Sci-Fi movie from Danny Boyle (28 days later/Trainspotting). Our sun is dying and 8 astronauts are on a mission to deliver a payload to re-ignite the sun and save mankind.

A strange mixture of "The Core" meets the moody "Event Horizon" and a dash of "2001" WTF all mixes together to make this movie.

Most of the time it works fine. It's tense, claustrophobic and visually stunning.

What ruins the film for me was the last 20 minutes where the film descends into a pretentious mess of WTF is going on.

For a low budget film (About $40m) the visuals are amazing and without any real major star in the movie (Chis Evans steals the show from Cillian Murphy for me) they had to.

Shame about the ending.
