Sunshine boats an impressive cast ensemble, and while it builds up ample suspense, the plot derails into ludicrous territory before the end.

A solid thriller with a great score and beautiful pictures. However, the Pinbacker scenes are unnecessarily brutal and offputting in my opinion.

I watched this movie not thinking that much about it, I wanted to check out more movies by Danny Boyle and let me tell you.. this is amazingly put together and worth the watch folks.

Very strong ensemble cast with great moments of tension and some really weird (in a good way) moments

WTF did I watch Good to watch when you are high

I really enjoyed it, so many entertaining elements are packed within 100min. I just don't think Pinbacker part is necessary though. Almost 20 years old but still watchable and amazing casting. It's not the greatest sci-fi, but recommend for someone who loves visual and thrills.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é ruim, o elenco não fez nada, a história não foi interessante e nem os personagens melhoram o filme, o filme teve cenas fracas, com um mistura de generos de filmes que fez o filme ficar muito fraco.

To be fair this is my favorite movie of all time. Which is a fun "i'm pretty sure i'm the only one with this opinion" thing to bust out at parties. The first two acts are different genres than the last, and most people with issues hate that third act. It was weird for me at first but the more I watch it the more I feel that is redeemed by its ending. The cast is STACKED. The visuals are INSANE. It basically is every generic disaster movie but (spoiler) every time a character dies it's done in a way that makes you emotional. It's also a quick watch, with multiple Oscar winners both in front of and behind the camera. Love this one!

Earth spends trillions building two ships (the first one fails to complete it's mission) in order to revive the sun, thereby saving the earth and humanity with it, but it also mans those ships with the most unstable and incompetent people on the planet.

The scenario was so boring that they had to make it a psychological horror half way through

Um ótimo filme de ficção cientifica espacial, ótimos efeitos, os debates filosóficos são agradáveis e curtos, bons diálogos, ótimos atores, surrealista, algumas imagens distorcidas incomodam, dilacerações e cristalizações humanas adoráveis, as questões religiosas um tanto quanto exagerada, mas interessante, Darwin versus Deus, desanda um pouco, mas nada que prejudique o saldo final, criticado pela imprecisão cientifica, mas quem liga? Grande maioria dos cinéfilos são leigos… Adorável...

Wow,what an over-hyped, overrated turkey. Science fiction? Send a bomb to the sun to restart it. That's it. The rest is angry people arguing with each other and a Jason/Michael Myers 3rd degree burn victim philosophy undergrad student espousing esoterical nonsense.

A mind-boggling and perfect eye candy, Sunshine (2007) is a very immersive take on the sci-fi genre which quickly placed all my five senses in its hot, sizzling and suspenseful world. This is my first sci-fi movie ever and thank goodness this was my first, because it has honestly given me a largely favorable impression of the genre. Evidently, Sunshine was more of a dilemma narrative based on science vs ethics, etc. It could have easily become a really bitter pill to swallow, but it didn't. As much as I do wish that it had avoided the whole Pinbacker "monster" as the crazed antagonist(which was very appalling though) and instead imo taken a more psychological route, rather than in-my-face horror, Sunshine is still a highly recommended film as well as a highly underrated masterpiece. The cast was spiffing and so dedicated to their multi-layered roles that I really must hand it to them, as much the characters did kick the bucket, some much earlier than others. I'm really glad that Chris Evans took up this film; as much as he is an established actor at the moment, it was really films like Sunshine and Snowpiercer that really portrayed his versatility. I do agree that there would have(realistically) been some form of protocol directing the crew on the decisions that they're expected to make in unexpected scenarios and emergencies(of course, I don't know if that protocol would include "how to handle a murderous monster which wants to sabotage the mission" or "In case of oxygen shortages, kill lower priority crewmembers"). Maybe the creators intentionally chose to omit the protocol so as to display the crewmembers' varied reactions to high-risk reactions(hence helping us understand their personalities better)? Idk I'm not a filmmaker or an astronaut, but this didn't really matter to me more than a fleeting thought, since I just came to eat my popcorn while only engaging my mind, eyes and ears.

A big name in the screenwriting and later directing world, Alex Garland’s story for Sunshine takes place in a future where our closest and most important star is dying, and can only be reinvigorated with a colossal nuclear explosion. This might sound like the kind of premise for a Michael Bay film, but in the hands of Garland and reputable director Danny Boyle, it becomes a pensive and thoughtful rumination on life, mortality and the possibility of extinction. With a cast of characters we spend enough time with to understand and empathise with, and a scenario that’s distinctly sci-fi but eerily plausible, the film makes effective use of tight, claustrophobic room and corridors, as well as mounting tension between people who’ve been stuck together for a long period of time, and whose differing personalities have started grating on each other as a result. The film is at its best when its establishing its world and character dynamics, and at its worst when it introduces what’s supposed to be a dramatic twist, but comes across as more random and incongruous. The film inexplicably becomes a slasher movie for a period of time, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that the filmmakers had a hard time trying to raise the stakes any further, and so completely switched gears, and genres. As many have pointed out, especially the intellectuals of the world, the film plays fast and loose with scientific fact, but when you’re dealing with a premise of this nature, it’s tough to do it in a way that’s both realistic and dramatically satisfying. As a result, the film swings towards the latter, and with all the build up we get, the ending hits just the way it should. Garland & Boyle have both made better films in their careers, but they’ve certainly done worse. Make of that what you will.

One of the best sci-fi movies ever, and certainly my personal favorite.

My favorite sci-fi movie. Great scenario, great actors (Cillian Murphy is so good!). Highly recommended

Great cast (love them all), special effects & scenery but I had bigger expectations because of the potential this movie had. For instance, I would argue that the ending would had made more sense if instead of the villain being the religious/fanatic captain from the other ship, the villain was a strange looking alien in which it would explain the need to kill everyone and the final sacrifice which was because the world would be save and the alien must be eliminated right then. It's just impossible to be 7 year lost in space under the conditions this captain was on & then jump from one ship to the other with no spacesuit, nor any protection & if he had a suit it would not have worked after 7 years so it just made no sense... I do not recommend this movie; it is too long for that nonsense ending.

Sunshine is an odd duck. Anything with Cillian Murphey is worth watching. The special effects and sound effects are awesome. The sun scenes are really intense. The setting of the movie makes for great drama. The idea of traveling so close to the sun is already a drama filled adventure. However, for some reason, the choice is made to pivot towards a horror/slasher element towards the last 20 minutes of the movie. It was necessary and turned a great sci-fi plot into a cliche. The ending brings the rating down a whole star for me, but it is definitely still worth watching.

All of this top-tier star power in one movie, and I had never heard of it until recently... and now I know why.

Great cast. Simple and powerful.
