Sunshine (2007)

A cross between Event Horizon and a low budget Armaggedon

[6/10 · 16 April 2007]

I was expecting a huge big budget movie, but I had not seen the trailer before seeing the movie. Maybe it would have been a good idea if I had. So, they are on a spaceship and for some reason the sun has decided to go out, I don't remember why it was but oh well, throughout the movie the characters die off by either being burnt alive or stabbed by a scary (blurred out and by the way they blur the monster out the whole time he is on the screen) horrible thing that apparently spent a couple of years with God or something. The CGI is great and the sound is brilliant, this year the movie with the best sound has to be this one. The surround mix is scary and works well with giving you a solid experience in space. The story maybe a bit disappointing, good idea though wanting to re-ignite the sun but with the some strange parts to it, suddenly you find yourself in Event Horizon, although it the idea behind it is very Armaggedon style. For those of you horror lovers and people who like non-scientific science fiction this will work well. Even without the huge budget of Amaggedon, it has earned it's self some respect with sound and CGI effects.
