Sunshine

Post by Partha »

Just went and bought the DVD, missed it in theatres.

Let me say that I enjoyed it - there were a couple of BS science moments, but I expected that from the premise.

I did NOT expect most of the second half of the movie. Not spoiling it, either, but it's a far cry from the rehash of 2001 I was thinking of.

Phenomenal movie.

10/10 IMO.

I haven't seen too many scifis without "BS science moments" - well, not that I'd know the diff anyways :)

The music is pretty intense, but that's kinda what Boyle goes for. Reminescant of the intensity/dramtics of 28 Weeks Later. I was shocked and awed by the grimness of the movie, and the quasi-realistic displays of human sacrifice.

I hated it. Epic failure IMO. That film had incredible potential and failed in just about every category. It needed another good hour of story and character development. I know sci-fi plots are deliberately clouded and take some leaps of faith on the audience's part, but this one was just bad.

I give it a D.

Bard or Druid upgrade?

I hadn't even heard of this movie till Sir Partha made this thread. I watched the trailer and will probably try and rent it next time I'm out. My only complaint so far is that it's yet another movie to steal RFAD music.

What is Sunshine? I think of that blonde quarterback from "Remember the Titans." His name was Sunshine. AWww.

He knew Tai Chi.

So, I look up "remember the titans" + Sunshine on Google images, and I came up with this.

Music was badass.
