Sunshine (Blu-ray Disc, 2008, Canadian)

These movies just don't come around every day. You usually have to wait a while before you find a sci-fi film that you just really click with. Directed by Danny Boyle (28 Days Later & Transpotting) and written by Alex Garland, Sunshine makes a groundbreaking smash on the sci-fi film community Winning the 2007 British Independent Film Award's Best Technical Achievement award (Mark Tildesley for Production Design. Sunshine's tag-line for the movie is: "IF THE SUN DIES, SO DO WE." Cillian Murphy who plays Capa in the film was also nominated as Best Actor for this film.

Capa narrates these lines at the beginning in order to save us the time of a long drawn out explanation so the movie actually starts where it should have.
"Our sun is dying. Mankind faces extinction. Seven years ago the Icarus project sent a mission to restart the sun but that mission was lost before it reached the star. Sixteen months ago, I, Robert Capa, and a crew of seven left earth frozen in a solar winter. Our payload a stellar bomb with a mass equivalent to Manhattan Island. Our purpose to create a star within a star.
[long pause]
Capa: Eight astronauts strapped to the back of a bomb. My bomb. Welcome to the Icarus Two."

Director Boyle proves his uncanny ability and insight into the human psyche as he pairs off interactions with crew member characters flying a solar bomb directly into the sun.

I give this a 5/5 because it usually gets better the second or third time you see it since it seems very fast paced and thrilling.

Great movie. Great story. And the visuals are great in HD. The story is close to another great movie "Event Horizon". Cant say too much cause I dont want to give anything away. Great tense moments and special effects!!
The movie isnt too long which is good. It keeps you in the story at all times and has a great cast of characters that work very well with eachother! I own this movie on regular DVD but I have to say BLU Ray is the way to go. I HIGHLY recommend this movie to any Science Fiction Fan!

This movie was highly recommended to me by a friend who is highly critical of movies.

The first 2/3rds of the movie had a strong feeling of plot, drama, character development and space shots. It was great scifi through and through. The last 3rd could have been better, seeing how it abruptly shifted into a horror movie, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it as a whole.

And watching it as a Blu-ray was worth every penny.

One of the best Si-Fi movies too date, ending could've been better though. Best too see this movie in Hi Def Blu Ray believe me, it will blow you away as if you're in the Sun in itself!

I didn't hate this movie, it was not what I was expecting but I don't know what i was expecting. The acting cast was good, as well as the special effects were top notch. Anyone who appreciates a bold and different attempt at standard sci-fi wil appreciate this movie. Those expecting a whole lot of action and explosions will be disappointed. It is a well done movie that will entertain an open-minded movie goer.

Great visuals, sound, acting, and story! Check his other films. Info on imdb.com. 28 days later, trainspotting, and others.
