Sun's brutal, isn't it !?!

Brit director Danny Boyle has picked up a lot of praise recently for 28 Days Later and Slumdog Millionaire, but his 2007 Science Fiction effort Sunshine frequently gets overlooked.



Plot wise its very similar to Event Horizon, Supernova and The Black Hole with spaceships on a mission to rescue other spaceships, only to run into freaky psycho-fastasy horror situations.



Mixed into the tense astronauts-in-jepardy plot though is an uplifting spitual experience which is very much aided by John Murphy's cool score. A strong cast is topped off by the lovely Rose Byrne as "The Astronaut You Would Most Want To Survive If Crashing In To A Star".
