just watched sunshine

[jverne]

this is probably one of the most MEH movies ever.

bad attempt at science and a bad rip off of event horizon.

no, i'm not saying it is uber shit. it's just downright...MEH

it had it's moments but man, this movie is just so much average.

i must say that "The core" left me in a less meh feeling than this movie.

what's with all that blurry effects? where is the science behind it?...live corpses??

this movie is not good, it is not boring, it is not thrilling, it's not revolutionary, it is not stupid...i don't understand it! :|

finally, someone who thinks the core is better than sunshine.

the movie was quite perfect in the start, then came that zombie like creature, and the cube entering the sun and all and the guy surviving, became really stupid..

the blurry is because they don't want to show you the captain...maybe because they couldn't make him look realistic enough to be put in with a 'clear' view...they just made it blurry. This way people wouldn't be like, "man the captain looked SOOO fake!"

Live corpses? Are you talking about the captain? He wasn't a corpse...he didn't die, he just went crazy.

The movie was different because it was more 'real'. There was no happy solution for everything...for example:
"we don't have enough oxygen for 5 people, somebody has to die."
"well why don't we just reroute our radio transmission power into our oxygen scrubber equipment so they can produce enough oxygen for us all!"
"yay we're all saved!"

life doesn't quite go as easily as it does in star trek.

"we don't have enough oxygen for 5 people, somebody has to die."
"fine, I'll go kill somebody"

it's so damn logical and it makes sense! I loved it. My only complaint with the movie was when they jumped from air lock to air lock...they made it almost believable...except when they had the guy in the space suit watch the other guy fly off into space and die, while the other guy without a suit just sat their and froze.

If they had just made a simple--they explode from the airlock, fly across the 50ft, one guy goes off into space, the other two go in the airlock, close the air lock, done...it would have been better.

i know it was the captain...but nobody can survive for 7 years with such burns.

well yes there were moral decisions to be made, but the astronauts seemed more a bunch of idiots than scientists.

i won't go into movie physics, which were in general poor. but there was some attempts at credibility.

all in all...pretty average movie in general with some added novelties.

While we're on the topic, I was just going through the flash tub archives on somethingawful.com, and well...

LOL at American flag on the Sun

Sunshine definitely fell short for me (especially when it started getting weird, which just seemed out of place to me - wtf was up with the time-stretching bs near the end?), but there is no way in hell it's anything close to as bad as The Core.

Danny Boyle needs to stop experimenting with other genres and go make the long awaited sequel to Trainspotting.
