This is what a science fiction movie should be, it's slow, smart, scary, and beautiful. The dynamic filmmaking duo of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have done it again. With the previous collaborations of "The Beach" and "28 Days Later", those two shouldn't make movies without each other. Something clicks just right between Boyle's directing style and Garland's pen.
"Sunshine" has a basic premise, the sun is dying and a team of people go to restart it with a huge bomb. It is written with believable characters who are marvelously brought to life by the amazing cast. Chris Evans in particular proved that he isn't just that flame guy from "Fantastic Four".
Most people seem to have a problem with Pinbacker, played by Mark Strong, I however, thought it was great. Remember people, this is science fiction, it doesn't have to be completely logical. You bought into being able to restart the sun with a bomb the size of Manhattan, so why not a guy from Icarus 1 who went crazy?
This is the absolute best science fiction movie I've seen in probably ten years.
