Sunshine vurderinger og anmeldelser
- Daniel Gustavsson19. oktober 2024Interesting concept, but it goes kind of off the rails towards the end.
- faizannabi23. oktober 2024The most underrated sci-fi movie. I think they should make a sequal.
- mickerdoo23. august 2025Took an interesting idea (albeit far fetched) and sprinkled too much heavy handed editing and an antagonist that was too far gone.
- dprend422. februar 2026An amazing film, hard sci fi mixed with psychological horror
- Michael Heimgartner7. juli 2025Visually Stunning, Intense, and Underrated – A Sci-Fi Gem with Flaws Right now 28 Years Later is in theaters, and it honestly feels surreal to see Danny Boyle and Alex Garland working together again after all these years. For longtime fans, it’s a small miracle. A lot of people don’t know this, but their creative partnership actually fractured around Sunshine. Behind the scenes, this film was apparently the breaking point - tensions over creative choices, diverging visions, and ultimately a professional split between two of the most talented cinematic minds of our time. And that’s fascinating, because Sunshine itself is, to me, one of the most interesting, yet criminally underrated sci-fi films ever made. Visually and sonically, Sunshine remains breathtaking even today. The cinematography is gorgeous, full of stark contrasts between the icy darkness of space and the blinding brilliance of the sun. Boyle’s direction creates this palpable sense of oppressive heat and claustrophobia that makes you feel the mission's stakes deep in your bones. Even watching at home, the film’s imagery and sound design hold up impressively well, immersing you in this decaying spaceship hurtling toward certain doom. John Murphy’s score, especially "Adagio in D Minor," is hypnotic and haunting - it elevates everything, adding an almost spiritual weight to the visuals. The cast is another standout. It’s a legitimately great ensemble where everyone feels believable, human, and fallible. Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, and Michelle Yeoh in particular deliver grounded, empathetic performances that make you care about the crew as individuals. The film does an excellent job early on of exploring the psychological toll this mission takes on them. It’s not just about the science - it’s about fear, sacrifice, ego, and the terrifying possibility of failing humanity itself. Those philosophical and existential themes really come through in the quieter moments, and I love that the script isn’t afraid to let its characters grapple with moral dilemmas and personal conflicts. But for all that, there’s no getting around the fact that the final third of Sunshine is deeply divisive, and honestly, it’s the film’s biggest flaw. The tonal shift into horror feels abrupt and jarring, as if Boyle suddenly decided to make Event Horizon in the last 30 minutes. The pacing becomes rushed, some characters get completely sidelined or forgotten, and the grounded psychological drama gives way to something that feels more chaotic and less coherent. It’s not that the horror elements couldn’t work, but they don’t blend seamlessly with what came before. That said, even if the shift is clumsy, there’s something thematically consistent about it on repeat viewings. The descent into madness, the loss of rationality in the face of cosmic power - it’s disorienting for the audience in the same way the mission is for the crew. There’s even some fascinating trivia that adds context. The production famously built one of the largest soundstage sets in the UK at the time for the spaceship interior, which helped create that immersive, lived-in feel. Alex Garland has talked about how much research went into making the mission scientifically plausible, even consulting with physicists, although they ultimately took liberties for the sake of drama - like the reflective solar shield and the concept of reigniting the sun. And of course, it’s well known among fans that Boyle and Garland’s creative split after Sunshine meant they didn’t collaborate again for years—making their recent reunion all the more remarkable. I’ve seen other reviewers say Sunshine is "two-thirds masterpiece, one-third mess," and I can’t really disagree. But for me, that imperfect, messy ambition is exactly why I love it. It’s a film willing to take risks, to swing for the fences visually and thematically, even if it doesn’t always stick the landing. It’s not just a sci-fi thriller - it’s a meditation on hubris, sacrifice, and humanity’s fragile place in an uncaring universe. The Icarus mission’s name is no accident - it’s a warning about the cost of flying too close to the sun. Sunshine remains one of the most underrated entries in modern science fiction. It’s flawed, sure, but it's also beautiful, haunting, and thought-provoking. Even after all these years, it still gets under my skin and stays with me long after the credits roll.
- DigitalDisappointment10. februar 2026So much build up for such an ENORMOUS let-down. Utter trash. "Hey I got an idea. How 'bout the second-in-command can't handle command? And also lets make a religious guy part of the deal so he can intentionally undermine things!" Total barf.
- Vandyt17. november 2025Underrated is the word: an original space-travel story, I can’t find any flaws in it
- Sam16. november 2025turns out I am a sucker for space movies that get weirdly religious
- stolteclan22. oktober 2025An incredibly solid movie. Excellent performances all around, solid direction and cinematography. Just really really solid
- alper parlak20. oktober 2025Bad camera shooting
- Tommy Aronsson15. oktober 2025quite ok movie. but strange
- Spyder202010. oktober 2025Meh, gets real weird for no reason at all
- Lasse Viinikainen31. juli 2025Born from the ashes of Event Horizon, surpassing it's legacy. If you're into that sort of thing.
- LANcaster26. juni 2025Great start, but the second part could be better.
- Rowan Krzysiak27. mai 2025I pondered for a while about how to rate this and ultimately had the feeling that the film just didn't quite come together in as cohesive way as I would've liked. There's moments of great things but I didn't feel that much of it stayed with me or drew a conclusion that was worthy of much further exploration. Almost...
