Sunshine: The Danny Boyle Movie Overview

By Paul Nyhart


Part-thriller, part-horror, total mind-blowing awesomeness. Sunshine is a movie that has every little thing a viewer may want, yet chances are, considering its rather short run in movie theaters as well as limited accessibility in "streaming channels," you haven't been aware of it. Well, we'll deal with that!

Sunshine takes place 50 years into the future, where the sun is dying and the Earth's survival is in danger. Income taxes are probably twice as high as they are nowadays, fuel will cost you nine bucks a gallon, and men and women are nevertheless bitching about the real danger of kids playing video game titles, elements that the movie don't touch on, but are my thoughts nonetheless. A crew of astronauts is sent to reignite the sun, essentially sending every bomb Earth has ever developed into the wheel in the sky. The movie receives an amazing level of esteem from me since it doesn't misuse anytime, it sets the table with what is happening, exactly what needs to take place, and gets right into it. This is not Armageddon, where you have to watch Ben Affleck eating off animal crackers some girl's stomach "waiting around in anticipation for the group's big moment!"

We don't have a great deal of backstory on the heroes, yet the stakes are so high it doesn't matter. Of note, Rose Byrne is one of the primary female stars and she is extremely hot. I've always been a huge fanatic of her since Adam, which is a totally different ball of wax, but nevertheless a good motion picture to watch.

The movie will take several radical turns, yet practically nothing that takes us out of the movie; these men and women are trying to drive into the sun and put enough dynamite that will transform perhaps Pluto right into a summer season holiday destination, thus "rules" are a very general notion. The effort often feels possible since the dialogue is fresh and doesn't attempt to pull at any kind of emotional heartstrings. I never ever felt like somebody was bullshitting me or trying way too hard in order to vindicate what the hell was happening. Sunshine presents the concerns, "what in case the sun was dying and exactly how would we deal with it". Then without any further ado places you on the spacecraft and ships you into hyper-speed.

Sunshine was produced for 40 million dollars and included thirty-five rewrites and one year in post-production (in addition to a delay in its launching). Those aren't exactly the marks of a terrific film, yet the bottom line is, movie director Danny Boyle (who happened to win an Academy Award for Slumdog Millionaire and recently directed 127 Hours) made Sunshine into something astonishingly unique. It offers components of sci-fi which are not really over-the-top for the general viewers, and creates a universe that expands the bounds of natural civilization taking audiences on a really unique voyage along the way. Sunshine isn't perfect, yet it does not have to be. It offers audiences desperate for something completely different, an outrageous experience that they could finally delight in, and that's really all that matters at the end of the day.
