My watch history
Sunshine
There were some great moments in this, but there was also a lot of bleh.
It has the veneer of hard sci-fi but the science is mostly bunk and slapped-on. I find it very hard to see past that, and it keeps dragging me out of the film.
The plot feels like a mashup and doesn’t really bring a lot of originality to the table. The cast were good but it felt like there were just one or two too many characters. The cinematography was occasionally beautiful but a lot of the time jarring and annoying (subliminal frames worked well in Fight Club, they’re just weird and out of place here…).
