        A brilliant sci fi movie that has a great fresh story but isn't told all that well at times and it got very silly at times too and it did ruin the movie, It's brilliantly acted and yes the plot is very farfetched but it was good with allot of twists and turns along the way, The ending was how it should of ended just lack of knowledge of what was going on made the climax not as satisfying as it should of been.

        I found myself really getting into this movie, even though it got too strange towards the end. I did enjoy the effects and the originality of the story. Great cast and good direction for sure.

        From Danny Boyle comes the smart and exciting space odyssey Sunshine. The story follows the mission of the Icarus II to reignite Earth's dying sun, but the mission is jeopardized when they alter course in an attempt to salvage the derelict craft of their predecessor, Icarus I. Exceptionally well-written, the film does an excellent job at developing the characters in subtle ways, and at grounding itself in the real world. The set designs also do an incredible job at creating a real, lived-in universe. Additionally, the special effects are remarkably effective at conveying the spectacle and the danger of space. Starring Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Rose Byrne, and Cliff Curtis, the cast is quite impressive and delivers some powerful performances. A brilliantly crafted and compelling film, Sunshine is a riveting science fiction thriller.
