Amazon.com:
A novel blend of doomsday thriller and meditative science fiction, Danny Boyle's Sunshine imagines a disturbing future in which mankind must re-ignite the sun or face total extinction. A team of scientists and crew members (played by an eclectic cast that includes Cillian Murphy from Boyle's 28 Days Later, The Fantastic Four's Chris Evans, Rose Byrne of TV's Damages, and martial-arts legend Michelle Yeoh) is dispatched to the dying star, but disaster strikes from almost every conceivable angle; as the crew is whittled down by accidents and psychological breaks, the survivors must discover a way to carry out the mission or seal the fate of the world's population. Alternately exciting and pensive, Sunshine's dichotomous tone may throw viewers expecting a special-effects bonanza (though the film's visuals are frequently stunning), but for those who recall such cerebral '70s efforts as Silent Running and Phase IV, Boyle's unusual take will be refreshing and even fascinating. The DVD includes commentaries by Boyle and Dr. Brian Cox, who served as the film's science advisor; Boyle also lends his voice to a brace of deleted scenes, including an alternate ending (which doesn't improve on the one used in the film). Thorough production diaries cover every aspect of the film's execution, from casting to special effects design, while a pair of unrelated short films by Chris Shepherd and Dan Arnold seems to be included only as a gesture of Boyle's appreciation for these directors. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - Best sci-fi disaster film to date.
This movie is what Mission to Mars and Red Planet should have been. What Sunshine is essentially is a disaster movie in space. Astronauts on a critical mission go through a number of catastrophies in order to survive long enough to complete said mission. While this has been done before from movies like the financially successful Armageddon to all the way back to the 50's with movies like Destination Moon and Rocketship XM. Sunshine is the best of such movies ever made (unless you count 2001 as a ... Read More
Rating: - One of the greatest
I'm not sure why anyone would give it any lower rating than a 5 star, but this is a great movie, one of the greatest ones in movie cinema so far.
This movie will leave you thinking about humanity and its actions long after you've finished it. There are no other words to describe the movie, you simply have to watch it.
Rating:  - She Was Hit by Space Junk
Never thought I'd get the chance to use the lyrics from a Devo song in a review. Never say, "never."
I'm no fan of Danny Boyle (act accordingly). Apparently, I don't think like the masses (which is a good thing). I thought TRAINSPOTTING was really quite boring. It's not a bad film, it just doesn't do anything for me. I absolutely loathed 28 DAYS LATER. I was waiting for the horror, which never came. And when the protagonists arrived at the soldier's compound and things started going ... Read More
Rating: - Visually Stunning
One of the most visually stunning movies I've seen in a long time -- it's kind of the antithesis to Inland Empire (Lynch) which is all about dark. This is all about Light - Sunlight to be exact .. it's use and philosphizing about the effect of so much sun is quite amazing.
Yes -- a real mission would be a bit more military then scientific - and of course you don't deviate from the plan -- but, once you get past the bad leadership of the captain - you are along for such a beautifully ... Read More
Rating:  - Smart Science Fiction with An Excellent Cast
Among the reviews posted here, I see several complaints about unfavorable comparisons to "Event Horizon" and sci-fi disaster movies. While there are certainly some plot elements in common with "Event Horizon" and the general category of space disaster films, "Sunshine" belongs more to the genre of "2001: A Space Odyssey" than anything else. It's smart, character-driven science fiction - not a festival of explosions for their own sake, and I think it succeeds very, very well.
