If the sun dies, so do we.
The sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star. But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. Soon the crew are fighting not only for their lives, but their sanity.

Sunshine is a bimbo movie, pretty but silly. There is no way on earth that that crew would have been chosen to be astronauts, let alone save the earth. Apart from being pretty stupid (no-one seems to remember how to close an airlock door or turn off a light) it seems that everyone can do whatever they want. Wanna kill the Artificial Intelligence that runs the whole ship? Just push a few buttons. You don't even need a password. Also, the ship is so badly designed that there are no intercoms. There's no back-up for the oxygen generation garden (which is too small to generate sufficient oxygen for one person let alone eight). There's no fire suppression system for the oxygen-rich garden, just the artificial rain. The antennae are located on the most delicate part of the ship so that if anything goes wrong then they are the first part to be destroyed. There's only one airlock. When the computer crashes, all the lights turn off. Yeesh. Sunshine is nice to look at but don't plan on doing any thinking.
