SUNSHINE
The plot here is simple; in the future earths sun is dying and a group of multi-ethnic astronauts are sent in a spaceship to try and reignite it.
I think it’s hugely ironic that a film about the sun can be so darn cold. My main gripe is the same one I’ve been having with most films lately. The characters are totally flat and lifeless, completely devoid of emotion. Without any sense of the characters on screen, it’s nigh impossible to care for them or their plight.
Up to a point, the film maintains a fairly predictable plot, which borrows heavily from other spaced out movies like “Event Horizon” and “2010”. Towards the end, the tone shifts from being a tense sci-fi movie, to a horror flick. The shift is quite jarring and the thinking behind it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
On the plus side, the visuals are breathtaking. The ships design is fairly unique and the sun itself is beautifully realised.
