Sunshine

I recently got to see this film and I was very excited to see it, as I've been waiting to see it for over a year. My original drive to see this movie was an actor I find to be brilliant, but when the previews popped up on the internet I became more interested in the film. I am not normally one to see scary movies or thrillers in theaters, or sci-fi films but I am glad I did.

I knew it was supposed to be a sorta end of the world type film, but it was better. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time worried what would happen next. It didn't move slow and it was a good story line requiring you to pay attention or you just might miss something.

The story is about a group of astronauts in outer space attempting to restart the sun as it is dying. They are the second group to attempt to start it because something happened to the first group. The astronauts are all different and their characters help improve the story line. Cillian Murphy did a brilliant job as Capa, the brilliant physicist guy behind the thing that is supposed to restart the sun. His acting was so good as well as all the other actors including Chris Evans who managed to pull off some good acting, a step up from his Fantastic Four character.

It's a good movie and I'm glad I went to see it, theres so much going on and a lot of emotion too. If you like something different this is for you. It can get suspenseful so if you can handle that, go see it.

I give it 4 Ice Cream Scoops out of 5
Rated R for violent content and language
