Sunshine [Blu-ray] Specifications
A novel blend of doomsday thriller and meditative science fiction, Danny Boyle's Sunshine imagines a disturbing future in which mankind must re-ignite the sun or face total extinction. A team of scientists and crew members (played by an eclectic cast that includes Cillian Murphy from Boyle's 28 Days Later, The Fantastic Four's Chris Evans, Rose Byrne of TV's Damages, and martial-arts legend Michelle Yeoh) is dispatched to the dying star, but disaster strikes from almost every conceivable angle; as the crew is whittled down by accidents and psychological breaks, the survivors must discover a way to carry out the mission or seal the fate of the world's population. Alternately exciting and pensive, Sunshine's dichotomous tone may throw viewers expecting a special-effects bonanza (though the film's visuals are frequently stunning), but for those who recall such cerebral '70s efforts as Silent Running and Phase IV, Boyle's unusual take will be refreshing and even fascinating. The DVD includes commentaries by Boyle and Dr. Brian Cox, who served as the film's science advisor; Boyle also lends his voice to a brace of deleted scenes, including an alternate ending (which doesn't improve on the one used in the film). Thorough production diaries cover every aspect of the film's execution, from casting to special effects design, while a pair of unrelated short films by Chris Shepherd and Dan Arnold seems to be included only as a gesture of Boyle's appreciation for these directors. --Paul Gaita
Customer Reviews
What a wonderful piece bad, but the cinema. Spoiled in a good way, like a bad hero, shortcomings in a way that makes it even more compelling to watch.
Sunshine, as the name of the ship, turn around ("Icarus II" - there will be some inspiration II - implication: you have not learned the lesson Hat?) Major elements of Greek tragedy and the human arrogance: it is likely no coincidence that the premise of the film is quite absurd that a small group of people who are sent toRevive the dying sun by firing a nuclear weapon, "the size of Manhattan" on them. Regardless, the sun is really just a giant nuclear reactor is billion times the size of Manhattan - a point made repeatedly by Danny Boyle shot the spaceship and the planets Mercury, surmounted by the colossal inferno crew direction in the plane.
Boyle photo is exquisite: There are a number of pieces that convey timeless set the total abandonment of weed infestationHomo sapiens before the Almighty dimensions of the cosmos. Elsewhere, rendering the screen is inventive and eloquent and elegant at all times. There are some amusing implausibility embedded (and not only very premise of the film, for example, gravity seems to come and go with the air pressure), but none that are not exposed in the cast like to disbelief bucket for a few hours. This is a very well made and stylish film, and one that would be much more impressivecimema a screen at home on television (which, alas, where I saw). The music is intelligent, also recalls Brian Eno's Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks.
This does not mean that there is great consistency, perhaps intent is Boyle's major issues, but is less interested in responding. This is a long tradition of intelligent science fiction, "Of course, say - some would, is a characteristic of the best films of this kind (egSolaris and 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is similar for both Sunshine significantly).
That is, for all its visceral beauty, the sun, it is often difficult to understand exactly what is happening and why. Icarus II have had problems, which require the two astronauts on a spacewalk to evaluate and correct: it is not clear what caused the damage, since it addresses the assembly, or because leachate events as they do. There are several plotDevelopments that are not drawn enough, and felt to me that this is a case fell exhibition was held design. Although there are obvious flaws special effects are given, you get the feeling that they filmed with care not to over-utilize their limits: blur, flip jump-cuts, Lens Flare, and so on are creative. Therefore you must have no choice but to wash all the ambiguity and contradiction, and enjoy the film for mattersshe asks and shows images, but as an expression of a coherent storyline.
This is harder than the film reaches its conclusion, it is more character driven and that the pattern of trade in advance. This plunged the exposure can not let the movie by: None of the characters are presented very well (the first is a clash between two of them, which is never explained), and a little more attention to back story Might Have helped clarify the historyIntention. Sunshine is a movie not too long, and you sense a "Director's Cut," adding in some of these back-story would make a difference. Searle's character, for example, certainly had more space for the depth of what is ultimately delivered, and more attention could be paid to the fate of Icarus I was
Amazon readers Sunshine scored very difficult: Maybe they expected something like Armageddon: This is definitely other end of the spectrum of science fiction. This is aFilm, which certainly would repay re-watching.
