Sunshine description 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 |

| THE MOVIE: Although I am not the biggest science fiction fan, Sunshine looked intriguing to me. I decided to rent the film from Netflix (my first Blu-ray rental) and I was blown away. Apart from the visuals, this is a smart, intense, and intellectually stimulating film. Directed by the brilliant Danny Boyle (28 Days Later), the film explores the plight of eight astronauts determined to reignite the dying sun in order to preserve life on Earth. Complications arise and tensions surmount. There is some brilliant writing, acting, and directing here. I particularly enjoyed the balance the film makes between action and moral dilemma. 5/5
THE DISC: This is a stunning Blu-ray disc. The visuals are absolutely amazing. Each shot is so clear and clean. After watching this film I turned on regular television and could not believe how awful the channels looked compared to this movie! This is definitely a great purchase to show off your HDTV. |
