68 - Don't Forget Your Sunglasses When We Turn Up the 'Sunshine'

Space travel science fiction can be tricky to pull off.

Make the science too realisitic, and it can make for a really dull story. Make the story too dramatic, and you can have real suspension of disbelief issues.

Cillian Murphy leads a terrific cast on a mission from the Earth to the Sun. Will Calamity ensue?

Buy 'Sunshine' on DVD, Blu-Ray, or watch it on Amazon VOD!

A weird thing I wanted to happen in Sunshine was that the last characters (the two C's) left at the end could have had more connection to each other. Maybe I'm a little to much of a romanticist. Great film.

I need a third movie to make an awesome hard SF movie marathon: Moon, Sunshine, and _____.

French + Zombies = They Came Back?

Hey Bryon!
My first pick for a hard sci-fi flick would be 'Primer'. It doesn't really get more science-y than Shane Carruth...

They Came Back is an EXCELLENT guess... Looks like you'll just have to come back next week to see if you're right... :-)

Primer has been in my queue for awile, It is now at the top!

Enjoyed your take on Sunshine, think it's a really great if still flawed movie. Also agree big time on the sepcial mention to the soundtrack. It's truly epic. But it's not by John Howard, it's scored by good old John Murphy, the guy who worked with Danny Boyle on the soundtrack to 28 Days Later.

Keep up the good work lads.

First review I watch from you, and I pretty much agree with everything. I really was liking it, nice characters, good dialogue interplay, pretty hard sicfi... but yeah that particular "Boyle thing" that suddenly appears really brings it down. Still, Cillian manages to provide an epic and very emotional ending, the awesome music no doubt a major contribution to that.

Also, you guys MUST review "THE FOUNTAIN", awesome movie that sadly didn't get half the attention it deserved.

(oh, and FRENCH + ZOMBIES = you also have "The Horde".)

Hey Tycho!
Thanks for joining us!
We've had Fountain on the short list for a while now, maybe it is time we just covered it...

The Horde.... AHHHHHH... MORE FRENCH CINEMA!?!?!? We just can't escape it...
