I really enjoyed this film and enjoyed re-watching it with the commentary by Professor Brian Cox, the scientific consultant for the movie.

Those reviewers who are stating that the science is dreadful (or even “ridiculous”) may not have listened to this commentary. There are some errors, which Cox points out, but the overall view is not impossible, or even so farfetched as to be ‘virtually impossible’.
Professor Cox is a Royal Society University Research Fellow in Particle Physics at the University of Manchester who also works on the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Geneva. In his commentary he mentions discussing with other scientists at CERN about the Q-ball hypotheses and relevance to sun-dying and restarting in the movie. (Incidentally, he seems to have the existence these super-symetrical (or super-stable) objects will be proven (by CERN) within the next 10 years or so.) His problems with science in the movie tend to be some of the smaller issues (for example - the craft orbiting Mercury a few times, rather than unprejudiced a ’sling-shot’ exercise) .

His statement on what the penultimate scene means to him (even if it only occurs in a ‘billionth of a second’, or in ‘the mind’) is fabulous, and really impressed upon me the beauty, wonder, and fear many scientists have for the universe. I assume some reviewers only saw this scene in a literal earth-based perception of time and were put-off by it. Again, it’s not necessarily meant to be seen that plot. (And as mentioned earlier, Professor Cox’s comment on its magnificence is animated.)
Another criticism reviewers have mentioned was why so many unstable people were picked for these missions. Again, I deem these reviewers may have missed something covered briefly in the film itself, and then more in depth in the commentaries. The people picked were stable and generally the very best in their field. Something with gravity, radiation, or another undefined characteristic of the sun caused mental problems . . . this was the reason the second mission included a psychologist, and the reason he was experimenting with the impact of sunlight exposure. I also reflect the writer was using individuals to highlight various aspects of human nature, but that might unprejudiced be me.
All that being said, this is not a Star Wars type of film. If that is what you are looking for, you may well be disappointed. On the other hand, it is a bit less obscure in meaning and position than films like Solaris, and maybe even a bit easier to take on the first viewing than 2001, and, for me at least, imparted distinguished of the wonder and scare that those films did.
To anyone choosing to glance this film on DVD, I’d recommend watching it, and then watching it again (or at the very least, the last five minutes of it) with Cox’s commentary. In my concept his comments design a really savory film even better.
Most underrated film of 2007. And potentially the best Blu-ray disc of 2008.
Ground breaking director Danny Boyle has done it again with sci-fi action-adventure film “Sunshine.” It is something you have never seen before. The film takes region in 2057. The sun is dying and mankind faces extinction. The Earth’s last hope lies in the hands of the crew on Icarus II. Attempting to flee to the sun and open a massive nuclear weapon into it to ignite the fading star. Out of the radio contact with Earth, the mission begins to unravel and they bag themselves fighting for their lives and the future of us all.
Fans of other Danny Boyle’s films will not be disappointed. His wonderful films include; 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, Transpotting, The Beach and Shallow Grave. The films delivers in every aspect. Unfortunately, the advertising campaign wasn’t very strong for this round of Danny Boyle’s film. And “Sunshine” only played in about 4000 screens. I luckily, found this on playing in a theatre arrive me when it was released in July 2007 and fell in savor with it.
Overall “Sunshine” was a spacious, spacious, sci-fi film that would be shown to anyone who enjoys a marvelous movie. I wish the advertising campaign would have been better because this is one film that should not be missed.
Film itself: *****
“Sunshine” uses a 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 which is a expansive choice for the Fox Classic. This film has tremendous visuals, mainly scenes in outer place. Without giving too remarkable away, the last 20 minutes of the film are amazingly done and the visuals should be nominated for an Academy Award. The transfer to Blu-ray is very well done. When I saw it in the theatre, I was frightened about some of the segments of the film because they are darker and could cause the conceal to be grainy. But Fox pulled through and did a mammoth job in transferring all the spacious visuals that I saw in July onto my HD TV at home.
Video: *****
“Sunshine” uses English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround (48kHz/24-bit) audio format. It is an obliging choice and again, Fox pulled through. The audio on this film alone is Oscar excellent. The films soundtrack, soon to be released, is done by John Murphy in an unbelievable plot. Each scene in this film is memorable with the abet to John Murphy’s soundtrack (OST) . The Blu-ray transfer is tremendous. The disc also features French Dolby Digital 5.1 and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound which are a cramped disappointing but didn’t affect the overall outcome of the disc. I would have liked to search for the same DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 in the French and Spanish languages. But overall, the audio delivers past my expectations and I serene view on purchasing the “Sunshine” OST when it is released.
Audio: *****
“Sunshine” features a unusual Profile, called Profile 1.1 which is newly released in 2008. The Profile 1.1 allows you to belief the film in PiP. The smaller shroud being the director commentaries and the main hide being the staunch movie. The PiP option allows you to switch succor and forth between the screens without pausing the movie. Fortunately, Sony updated their PlayStation 3 to enable this option a few weeks ago. It works beyond imaginable and I really assume that this will leave HD-DVD in the dust.
The Blu-ray disc also features an Audio commentary with the Director Danny Boyle which is above par. 21 Video Diaries, all with the Director Introduction. 12 Deleted Scenes and an alternate ending. Two short films: “Dad’s Unimaginative,” and “Mole Hills” which are mediocre. And the theatrical trailer.
The High Definition Unusual grunt on this disc are probably the best I have seen on a Blu-ray disc yet. The “Enhanced Viewing Mode” which in the picture-in-picture video commentary are well worth the Blu-ray disc hold alone (Profile 1.1) . It also features a “Surround Sound Mixer” which you can steal audio from the movie and listen to it by itself, or bewitch your current parts and set them together. A subtitle trivia track, which is loaded will tons and tons of information about the movie, production, and actors. And a search command index. These are probably the best HD and extra conent features that I have seen on a Blu-ray disc and are well worth the heed.
Extras: *****
“Sunshine” is my current movie of 2007 and could possibly be the best Blu-ray Disc of 2007/2008. I can’t maintain all the High Definition announce on this disc and it is well worth the brand. Profile 1.1, also known as “Enhanced Viewing Mode” is a mammoth addition to Blu-ray disc and I hold this is what will bring Blu-ray out in the ruin (also the fact that blu-ray has Disney) . I would highly recommend this Blu-ray disc to ANYONE who ones a Blu-ray disc player. A must seize. If I could rate this any higher I would.
Most underrated film of 2007. And potentially the best Blu-ray disc of 2008.
