Sunshine (Dvd) - Ashleigh

Fantastic Sci-Fi thriller. I enjoyed the visuals thoroughly. They made the vastness of space a character to be reckoned with. The first half of the movie was a psychological bender that could hold its own against any previous sci-fi-emptyness-of-space-gets-us-frightened-of-our-own-shadow movie, but it does nothing new from these movies. I'm not entirely sure it ever does anything new, which isn't a bad thing, but it does stumble a bit at the end. As the movie jogs to its climactic tipping point it turns into a Michael Bay fight to save humanity against a blurry melting villain. There were so many directions you could have gone to have avoided this poor ending, but alas this is not the case. Boyle again chooses a score that compliments his style and the film's mood. Overall, another fantastic film in Danny Boyle's arsenal, making me think this man can do no wrong.

7 out of 10: Sci-Fi at its peak, but missing a satisfying ending
