Your such an ignorant fool, the film is about sacrifice, hopeless dilemmas, the mysterious of the universe and the deadly beauty of what we have never done before. Its not something to be taken serious.
The movie is actually really good, excisite cinematography and beauty, the characters weren’t half badly developed either.
Furthermore, you seem to be fixated on the only slightly illogical flaws which are hardly even that bad. I mean they had a big computer because the ship they were in was big and had to support them for the whole journey, i don’t think you have much right to conclude thats stupid considering your a critic and not ANY type of engineer.
Your such a retard, i hope someone slaps you for your ignorance.

Dude your logic for ripping on this movie is completely bogus. You become so arbitrarily negative about ridiculous things: “What if it’s a cloudy day” JESUS man are you serious? Just to clarify you are complaining that Capa was trying to be too meaningful with the last message he is going to send to his family? Oh and about your “Just ‘skuz” rant: You could do that with ANY movie. I mean it. Give me a movie and I will come up with ten things in five minutes. I would not even be wasting my time writing about this review if not for the BS you pulled when you started talking about “anyone who’s ever had a child go missing”. What? Because a character dies in a meaningful way the movie is insensitive to people who have lost family members? You are the guy sitting in the movie theater snickering about nothing while everyone else enjoys themselves because it makes you feel superior somehow.

It’s called science fiction, dumbass. Not science fact. Did you hate Star Wars because the technology to create lightsabers is unrealistic? Sunshine is just a story. It’s a movie, and a good one at that. I want the half-hour it took to read this overanalytical, nit-picky 500 page thesis on why a great film sucked back.

I really enjoyed the film.Saw it 3 times on the big screen in London where it really had to be seen rather than on a TV. Yes there were lots of illogical things but isn’t that the case in any film? If everybody did what they’re supposed to do then films would be pretty boring .Everything would be nice and safe……..and bland.

Only thing I would agree with the reviewer on is the music.John Murphy did a superb job on the film score. I could name loads of films worse than Sunshine.The fact that it was made on a small budget in a East London film studio deserves credit when you see the billions squandered in Hollywood on crappy remakes of classic horror films like The Wicker Man and The Omen.

Glad we could help you out there AC! Glad you liked the review too. If you’re interested, we’re doing another Worst Film Week later in September, so check back with us then and you might stumble across another crappy film you’ve seen!!!

Agree that this was a terrible film.

I came by this review because, watching it on tv, I missed the flims intro and the part about why they changed course. I figured it must be a really good reason. The fact that the only reason was “to check out the other ship that failed” lowered my already flagging estimation of the film. I had also missed that it was supposed to be only 50 years in the future, and that just added insult to injury.

I can forgive some things like where the computer cannot change course, or doing any of that because the crew wasn’t supposed to change course. I can also forgive not having a spare part for everything on board, because if you allow yourself to follow the logic of the film, it’s a last-ditch attempt to fix a dying sun.

I don’t know why people rave about the visuals. They’re ok for the most part, but some of the psychotic visuals are more likely to give epileptic fits than anything else.

The ending was probably the worst and was totally anticlimactic. After all the (confused and muddled) buildup, the bomb is released quickly, easily and successfully. They should have stamped a big THE END over the Sydney scene to remind people to go to bed. To be fair, maybe the visuals department had run out of money or were already so thoroughly disheartened they also just wanted to go back to bed.

This film is only good if 1) you mute the audio or 2) can erase any memory of anything that’s happened more than a minute ago.

As to @Kei and @The Epic One’s comment on genre, this is just a space horror / fiction film. Just because the setting is space doesn’t make it science fiction.
