Sunshine
It came out in 2007, Danny Boyle's last movie before that one about Indians.
It completely passed me by a couple years ago, I hadn't even heard of it. Just watched it, and its worth a look, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminds me of those good 70's and 80's space/sci-fi movies that seemed to have a consistent quality that's sorely lacking these days, or maybe I'm just blinded by nostalgia.

Fucking awesome movie except for the OMG BIG SCARY MAN a la Horrigan at the end. Well worth a watch imo.

Agreed on the overuse of the boogey man. The idea of the world ending because of some asshole fundamentalist was relevant and all, it just could have been a lot better done. Then again the film maintained a pretty amazing level of suspense with more small scale catastrophes up until that point, so it felt like a cop out when it wrapped everything up with a fairly one-dimensional villain.
my vocabulary skills is above you.

I completely missed it in theaters as I never knew it existed until someone in #fallout recommended it. It's a pretty good movie and I liked the parts where that guy fucked up the calculations and the space jump thing were pretty cool. I didn't really like that boogeyman thing at the end and that kumar guy masturbating to the sun. It was an interesting concept of a movie overall.

You think you feel horrible now? Wait till you see this.St. Toxic wrote:Strange. I thought it was boring garbage. Maybe some finer point evaded me at the time of watching, but I seriously wanted my time back at the end of it.

It's a reality show, in space.
That's the key to understanding Sunshine.
The characters had some of the smartness/etc. that is required by the storyline/ostensible training of characters, but they seemed more like emo kids playing at being grim astronauts.
It's phoney.
That's what pisses me off about it.
Then I wonder about the intended audience.
I want rock-ribbed, ice-cold, Competent Men with slide-rules doing everything right regardless of the sideways twists that are thrown at them.
They would be talking to each other like Joe Friday.
jawohl!
The psycho plot was ok, though.
