Re: Sunshine
Apart from a few comments in the Underworld subforum about this, which mainly relate to the soundtrack, I haven't seen any comments about this film yet. Surely there must be more of us in the UK that have seen it?

Saw this last night, and would give it 7/10. Comments in spoiler section below - highlight text to read...


[COLOR=#C8B090] Likes:
Awesome CGI - Was very impressed how they got the feel of flying straight into the Sun and all the heat FX on the outside of the ship.
Soundtrack - Of course! Underworld's music fits so well with the film. Will definitey be buying the OST. Dunno why Peggy Sussed was tacked onto the credits, but hearing it loud on the cinema soundsystem is no bad thing
Acting - Great cast all round, especially the main physics geezer

Dislikes:
The last 3rd of the film - What the fuck went wrong? Gets all mystical and goes into Event Horizon terrirory. Absolutely terrible camerawork with so many subliminal, jump-cut, freeze frame techniques that you can't actually tell what is going on. I couldn't actually tell what happened to two of the main characters.
Major plot holes - Like, why is the computer overriding their decisions at the start of the movie, because it might screw the mission, then allows itself to be completely disabled later on in the film.

Overall, an enjoyable summer flick, and I would have seen it anyway without Underworld's involvement. Just could have been a little better...[/COLOR]
