Movie Reviews of Sunshine
Movie Review: One of the worst films ever made
Summary: 1 Stars
I read these other reviews and wonder if they saw the same poorly acted, poorly shot, incoherent film that I own. Awful quality in every way, especially the grainy, blurry visuals. I wonder how a movie like this ever gets made when independent film makers with something to say are so routinely rejected by the major studios.
Best to borrow this one first before sinking your hard earned cash into it, I would counsel. I found it unwatchable.
Summary of Sunshine
Fifty years into the future a team of astronauts are sent to deploy a device to reignite the dying sun.System Requirements:Running Time: 110 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE/RACE AGAINST TIME Rating:?R UPC:?024543444589 Manufacturer No:?2244458A novel blend of doomsday thriller and meditative science fiction, Danny Boyle's Sunshine imagines a disturbing future in which mankind must re-ignite the sun or face total extinction. A team of scientists and crew members (played by an eclectic cast that includes Cillian Murphy from Boyle's 28 Days Later, The Fantastic Four's Chris Evans, Rose Byrne of TV's Damages, and martial-arts legend Michelle Yeoh) is dispatched to the dying star, but disaster strikes from almost every conceivable angle; as the crew is whittled down by accidents and psychological breaks, the survivors must discover a way to carry out the mission or seal the fate of the world's population. Alternately exciting and pensive, Sunshine's dichotomous tone may throw viewers expecting a special-effects bonanza (though the film's visuals are frequently stunning), but for those who recall such cerebral '70s efforts as Silent Running and Phase IV, Boyle's unusual take will be refreshing and even fascinating. The DVD includes commentaries by Boyle and Dr. Brian Cox, who served as the film's science advisor; Boyle also lends his voice to a brace of deleted scenes, including an alternate ending (which doesn't improve on the one used in the film). Thorough production diaries cover every aspect of the film's execution, from casting to special effects design, while a pair of unrelated short films by Chris Shepherd and Dan Arnold seems to be included only as a gesture of Boyle's appreciation for these directors. --Paul Gaita
