Sunshine: *** out of ****


Sunshine is a sci-fi movie, about a group a scientist/astronauts on a voyage to re light our drying sun. But while on the way they run into some trouble. Its the old voyager Icarus 1, that tried to do the same thing in the past but fail and it was lost for several years. So on the path to their mission they realize that they don't have enough oxygen to return home. So they have this idea to go to Icarus 1 to see if they have oxygen, and to check for survivors. But little do they something bad will happen, and you'll have to see the movie to find out. Here Let me give you a clue it's kind of like the movie Event Horizon. The movie is Directed by Danny Boyle, who also did 28 days later, and the oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire. The movie stars, Cillian Murphy as Capa,and Ros Byrne as Cassie. The movie is rated R (Violent content, Language), and is 107 minutes long. 
For more information go to www.imdb.com, there is a link down at the bottom of the site. Ok so let me get the point straight the over all movie is good. There are some parts at the end that don't make sense and drag on for a while. But that doesn't mean it's not a good movie the effects are great, like the times when you see the sun. For example 4 of the parts on Icarus 2'S shield are down and two crew members have to fix it. which result in the captain of the ship getting engulfed by a massive wave of fire, and the other crew member capa gets away just in time. That was probably the coolest part in the movie for me that is. Danny Boyle does a great job directing it. Like there are some shots of the sun when they are in a sun proof room which allows them to see the flames of the sun, and when you increase the rays of the sun you Burn to death.(spoiler) One says that he saw the face of god in the sun and it told him something. The screenplay is fantastic and the acting is pretty good. But the only problem was it just is very underrated, so i suggest this movie to people who like sci-fi. Trust me you'll find it very interesting and pretty cool.
