should one avoid exposure to sunshine or not . on the sunny side represent i always welcome a serious attempt at a high class sf movie . of course most effort lead to serious disappointment . but this one have both alien and 2001 a reference . if it deliver at only 10 % we would still be treat with the best sf in decade . 28 week later by danny boyle strike me a a very good horror movie . and descent horror movie be as scarce a descent sf movie . hope be up . it look fantastic . just base on it look it deserve ten shiny and not die and star . the acting and though not great and be certainly acceptable ( apart from the navigator ) . the begin doesn not ruin what now can still be hopeful expectation . though the element of a dark kind of fascination with the sun by the crew psychologist be show in a really stupid and in your face ( lol ) manner ( exept if to you something like represent yeah and i be very close to the sun and but war these cool sunglass i can take her on seem in place for a crew member on a mission to prevent this nuclear amonster from kick the bucket ) . music by underworld . great choice ( i be a fan ) . with this a bright side and what can go wrong . on the dark leave a bit too long on the bbq burn to charcoal side representa whole lot . actually the whole enterprise . the error of the ship navigator ( horribly portrait by an asian actor who reinvention of overact be not worthy of anything but rotten tomato ) be ridiculous . hope fade . i do not know if character need to be develop necessarily and like a lot of comment imply . but it be need here that viewer get involve and care for the character . i do not care how that realize but sunshine do the opposite . maybe mr boyle think it cruel to let u care for character who all get kill . so he let them do all kind of stupid thing that make u quite indifferent to their fate . and since this group of childish amateur be the elite crew select from earths entire population in some future and we do not care a rat ass about that earth as well . don not take our care for the planet for grant mr boyle . all hope be lose . plot twist get silly and silly a the movie progress and eh sorry and degenerate into a very vague monster ( not a joke ) . bad act . i think the actor be not much to blame here . the script be . it amazingly bad . isn not a script a key element in decide if the making of the movie will go through . why be this movie make ( with this script ) . i can not believe the rating here on imdb be not corrupt . maybe there be really a lot of people who enjoy sunshine and but it would have be so easy to improve on the script . and i hate the flawed clichés like instant freezing in the vacuum ( . ) of space . be clichés require for urning a big budget and no matter how flaw . do flaw clichés get past expert advisor . what delude arrogance to present this a serious sf . furthermore the cience be degrade by show too much and leave too little to imagination . it ok to introduce technique that be not explain to the point it can be repute but do their amazing stuff like in star trek . if sunshine be try to be more scientifically support by share more of underlying principle it shoot itself in the foot and for even layman can dismiss the science a fantasy lack enough fantasy . and furthermore and ask yourself this question represent if you take a man from earth and expose him to the sun insufficiently protect for seven year and how would he look like . see the answer the maker of sunshine come up with . like a walk talk grumpy piece of meat that badly burn ( yeah and right ) . but wait and maybe i be astray and lose from sunshine ambitious path . not invite by the movie itself and but by a state of boredom and stubbornly still not fully convince of sunshine dark failure i start to wonder about possible philosophical implication the maker may have intend when abandon simple movie convention that enable viewer to see what in front of the camera and to follow what go on . how else to blend in a bit of kubrick odyssey depth . toy a bit with concept of god and the sun and humankind my goodwill run out in a last effort to deny that this sun will shine no more . soon i decide that sunshine with it vague villain would not score well in this respect than just any movie we look at through some kind of blur device . science fiction in my opinion be fiction with a certain level of scientific plausibility . a horror movie just need to be scary . this movie aim to shine bright in both genre and fail horribly . i suggest and instead of see this star killer and to read all the hat it review here on imdb . to me that be a lot more fun . there be however still some attraction in see it for it good look and missed potential .
