Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

joecoby45 Danny Boyle outdoes himself with this science fiction masterpiece, which offers a suspenseful and unpredictable story with interesting, well developed characters. The basic premise is that a crew of astronauts must reignite the Earth's Sun with a nuclear bomb in an effort to prevent it from going out permanently. That's the main story point of the film but ultimately Sunshine is really about the characters. More specifically their interactions with each other, the tough choices they have to make, and their ultimate deterioration as people throughout the dangerous and deadly voyage.Sunshine is both entertaining and suspenseful throughout its 100 minute run time. Its extraordinarily well directed and acted and has great special effects and shot composition as well. If there are a couple flaws in the movie it would be some poor choices of editing towards the end of the movie and some questionable character logic every once in a while. But besides those little nit picks this is one of the finest Sci Fi movies of the century. Definitely give it a watch.

billy-97 To avoid spoilers, let's just consider the premise:Sun, the single biggest thermonuclear reactor (or bomb, if you like that better) within 4+ lightyears, "stops" somehow and it can be "rebooted" with a bomb (!) To do that, we can deliver that bomb through the mass of the entire star right into the center, and that within a few seconds, though that would require a speed near or beyond that of light.If we solved those problems, why bother with the Sun? Let's just travel to the next habitable world, it's easy.Let's ignore that the Sun couldn't "stop" from being the thermonuclear bomb it is simply because of its own mass and pretend it does exactly that by some miracle (which is truly the only way it could happen). Guess how long it would take for a piece of coal roughly 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times the weight of the piece you use for your BBQ? (That's an actual estimate by the way, not just a bunch of zeros.)This (and all the other impossibilities) make this movie unwatchable for anybody with even a hint of critical thinking not because these things are impossible but because the movie fails to communicate that it takes place in an alternative universe where the laws of physics don't apply.

drewsmail-43080 This is meant to be Earth's best hope? A bunch of neurotics? I demand to see the recruitment people in HR!!!! ... But maybe that's the problem....Anyway, the whole monster thing is utter rubbish. I've been more threatened by a tanduri chicken drumstick.

LeonLouisRicci A "Hail-Mary" Mission to Save Earth from its Dying Sun is an Intense, Beautifully Displayed Entertainment with Vibrant Visuals accompanied by a Sound-Track that Wraps the Film in a Packaged Presentation that is Highly Suspenseful and Literally Attacks with a Sensual Overload and Creates an Extreme In Your Face Experience.To say that You Experience the Movie is an Understatement. It Grips from the Get-Go with its Stunning Presentation and All the Meters are Pegging. The Look, the Sound, the Situation, and the Crew are there to be Absorbed into the Pure Fabric of the Viewer's Physiology.The Movie Attaches Itself to the Bodily Fibers and it Feels like the Gravitational Force of the Sun is so Amazingly Attractive that it is No Wonder that Humans have Worshiped its Gaze since the Dawn of Man. It's Pure Magnetic Magnificence and Life Sustaining Energy is by Definition "God".The Movie may Falter in the Final Act and can be Confusing, Chaotic, and Concluding the Story seems Difficult for the Writer (Alex Garland) and Director (Danny Boyle), but Boy the Voyage to the Center of the Solar System is Heaven for Adrenaline Addicts and Lovers of "Take a Ride" Cinema.Note...Many Folks like to show off when reviewing, or more precisely, attacking Films of this nature by pointing out the "Laws of Physics" and so forth. But it's been said a million times and is once again worth repeating. This is SCIENCE FICTION. With the emphasis on FICTION. In the world of fiction these observations based on reality render the criticisms really moot.
