Sunshine

Post by Nick »

A film about to be released in the UK by the Director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, A life less ordinary, 28 days later).

It's got Cillian Murphy in it too 8)
The Sun is being destroyed from inside out by a type of highly stable form of matter that renders nuclear fusion impossible, by turning common matter on its own kind. The only hope is to send a team of astronauts to detonate a massive, highly energetic bomb, able able to destroy this strange matter and restore Sun's natural state. Written by Anonymous

50 years into the future, the Sun begins to die, and Earth is dying as a result. A team of astronauts are sent to revive the Sun - but the mission fails. Seven years later, a new team are sent to finish the mission as they are Earth's last hope.
Let's hope it's not like Armageddon or that other crap film, The Core or whatever it was.

With Danny Boyle directing it's pretty much guaranteed to be fucking amazing.

Keep your eyes peeled :D

I saw a preview for this before something else not too long ago. Even though it "looked" like it would be another Armageddon or The Core, there was something about it that made me want to actually see it. I couldn't put my finger on what it was though. Some of the shots looked really nice though.

I tend to be pretty obsessed with stars and space and all that jazz anyway so I have high hopes for it, especially after seeing as who's involved in it.

Fingers, legs, toes and cochleas crossed it doesn't disappoint. :-x

No symbolism there. Nope, none.

...

Sounds good. :)
