Sunshine

I'm not a good judge of sci-fi films, but when you throw Danny Boyle in the mix, I was on board for Sunshine. A futuristic mission to reignite the sun is appropriately called Icarus. Things go wrong, the characters get ugly, the situation gets ugly, but the visual is what I signed on for. I was not disappointed, this is one good looking film. The plot gets a bit mushy around the middle, but for the most part, a solid rental.

Come for the visuals ... and not much else. Boyle's got range, though - "28 Days Later," "Millions," "Trainspotting" ... now this.
Crank up "Sunshine" on the biggest TV you've got. Makes me wish I had Blu-Ray ...

Though I liked Trainspotting, my favorite Boyle piece is Millions.
