A little OT: "Sunshine" Movie...

Agree totally, Frantz! I think anyone who enjoys the "Alien" series, and is into Prometheus, would definitely enjoy it if it has not yet been seen...

I agree with franz - although i would call the last act a lot worse than "confused". the whole "burnt guy" sequence was needless because they were in a dramatic enough situation as it was. And another sci-fi film with terrible casting - all these scientits types in their 20s and 30s - ITS NOT REALISTIC!!

it is a great movie ( im checking and its 12 minutes shorter thatn prometheus ) ... and an excellent soundtrack . Second part is a bit confused , great ending ( the jump sequence and his soundtrack is exceptional )

i would agree, except for that [i]one[/i] character/plot-device. The way it was written, it just seemed to me, like an out of place distraction from the other, more important themes in the movie.

I really liked Sunshine as well but the last act really threw me and was so unnecessary that I wasn't sure if I wanted to like it. Soundtrack was great and casting was a bit young but good actors. I think Danny Boyle saw Event Horizon and 2001 too many times and wanted to mash them. :0) Didn't feel any Alien vibe in it though

I found this film surprisingly good and have recommended it many times.

I like Sunshine a great deal, good flick

xFTx i agree is not realistic even if they had some "charisma" ...kaneda was a great character and cillian murphy was effcient as always ...the doctor was an excellent character ...they were too young anyway . The religious aspect of all could have inserted without the burnt guy arrival or played in a different way . to who love alien i also suggest Pandorum , it have many flaws but have alot of strong points , first of all an excellent script .

I really liked this movie, great look and feel to it, last part seemed a little confusing if I remember but the visuals were great. Somebody on this site did a poll on who should direct Prome 2 and I thought Danny Boyle was a good choice.

That and Silent Running. Asking the question, there has to be an end and many refuse to understand it and look for ways to change it.

It was a striking film "Sunshine" was...I agree. Thought Of mentioning it many times here and never did out of Fear of getting Bashed I think. LOL.

YEP i liked sunshine cillian murphy 's character was based on professor brian cox who is young but very capable and extremely knowledgeable on the subject of physics . The part where mark strong was wondering around stalking the crew was a bit daft and spoilt what could have been a Great film and not just a good one but all in all its very enjoyable. i'm certain he would of had skin cancer at that range for 7 years lol or a shed load of factor 5000 skin lotion at least.

Love silent running. I really didn't like Sunshine. It was pretty. Terrible dialog. What the fuck was up with that last act? Much like 28 days later, strong out of the gate...half way through turns into shit on a stick.

@artyoh That "[i]one[/i] character/plot device" - let me guess: Pinbacker? I loved that film until it descended into, "Madman on board - and he's chasing us!" The visuals were [i]outstanding.[/i]

3/4 of the move is awsome, along with the sountrack. The ending sucked! Any creature like beast would have been better than a roasted freako.

I'll be having a look at it, sounds like it's up my alley :-D

@allinamberclad Yes. He had a really good sci-fi movie going, until the guy with a "28 Days Later" attitude, showed up.

[quote]The religious aspect of all could have inserted without the burnt guy arrival or played in a different way [/quote] Spot on. I needed the religious theme surrounding the Sun to kind of "get" the ending (which I thought was excellent) but didn't like the villian at all. I think it was more the way he was played. Other than that I love this movie.

Tore itself to shreds in the third act. One of Danny Boyle's worst films. Also cringe when I hear critics compare it to Alien. No good.

Nahh, I'm not comparing the ENTIRE storyline to Alien, Golic...and I certainly didn't say it was anything near "perfection" like A.1 was, but for a RECENT scifi, it's pretty good in it's artistry and the "claustrophobic", "Das Boot", "Alien" feeling is there from the beginning. I certainly wish it had ended better as well...but it's still worth a watch for those who haven't seen it, IMHO...
