this film have everything and a good director with a solid body of work behind him and a fairly healthy budget but not too big and a pretty good cast too . unfortunately it have alex garland writing and here lie the problem and alex garland be not john hodge and this be a fact that danny boyle seem completely unaware of . alex garland be a novelist and not a screen writer and this become very apparent when look at his work . sunshine start out and it atmospheric and clastrophobic and i think it get a very good 2001 thing go on . the set up for the story be sound and the science seem movie credable . then thing start to go wrong for the character and ok well this be a movie it be bind to happen . then they get even bad and suddenly the whole film change . i find myself in a paranoid piece that remind me almost of the thing except the plot doesn not grip nearly as tightly . character start drop like fly but they have be so underdeveloped that i really do not care about their fate . then and guess what and the whole film do another massive switch and i find myself watch something along the same line a event horizen . i be start to think garland must have just watch his favourite movie and then blend the plot together to create something he pass off a his own . then come the end of the movie and oh my god i be leave in a state of confusion and relief ( i have never be so happy to see credit roll since i sit through pearl harbour ) . the end make no sense and the bit that do be just bore . they all die in the end but and a i say before and i really do not care . sunshine would make a good book but it make a god awful movie . garland should write it a a book actually and then write another one and then another . hopefully it would stop him from write dreadful script .
