Sunshine
After seeing the trailer for this movie I knew I had to see it. I think I was alienated by the setting and the point the movie was trying to make. The movie is set in a not too distant future when the Sun is dying. Earth is enveloped in a long winter and humanity is slowing dying. A team is sent on the Icarus II to deliver an explosive payload to restart the Sun. The first mission failed under unknown circumstances and they are the very last hope to save Earth and it’s inhabitants. The crew has been traveling for many months and they clearly understand that it might be a one way trip. Their food supplies are plenty and they have internal gardens that provide food and oxygen. However the unexpected discovery of the original Icarus sets them off course and a few mistakes but the whole mission at risk.
That is not much of a review but the movie is quite good. I was surprised by how much action and peril the characters were in. I could relate with the characters very quickly and the decisions they have to make. All the hard choices we’re all facing in our lives. From the trailer you had the impression everything would turn bad and many characters would die. But you still have a feel of fulfillment. You feel that all they’re going through is worth something. The movie might still be in theaters but I would suggest you to rent it as soon as it comes out on DVD.
