Sunshine

We watched a movie called Sunshine this week.
The premise is that the sun is dying. A ship was sent to detonate a bomb to activate the sun. Something goes wrong and they don't make it. So another ship is sent to do the same thing. It doesn't really tell you when in time it actually is and there are no shots of Earth. The whole film is based on the second ship that is sent.
The effects are fantastic and I felt that the movie was well crafted. It looked spectacular. There are no major stars in the movie which I thought was good. I was a little disappointed by the ending, but could understand how it came to that.
I do recommend seeing this movie, as, at least the Australians will appreciate the final scene of the movie.
The movie was directed by the sam guy who did Trainspotting and The Beach. It wasn't as good as Trainspotting, but a lot better than The Beach.
