I peeped this over the WE and have to say this was a major waste of time. The only good thing about it was that it was so tedious it made the most seemingly normal things - subway signage etc...seem really interesting for a period of at least 3 hours after the movie
a major disappointment from danny boyle after 28 days |

i have to disagree with you!
i though the film was good and refreshing for a sci-fi flick!
it has a cast of about 7 and nothing else but space and vacuum.
the tension. psychology, and emotions was what drew me.
ofcourse if you were looking for action, things blowing up, etc. it was sub-par!
which is why it was so refreshing as a sci-fi flick.
just like his zombie flick was so differenet for the genre!
anyway... |

alex garland also wrote the novel - The Beach which was a great read but also filmed unsuccessfully by Boyle
one thing about Sunshine was that it looked great but seemed content to wallow in clich� and the referencing of classics in the genre which i guess is supposed to be cool but isn't when you've got a story which is just plain stupid and not at all compelling from the get go |
