Sunshine

To kick off Season 23 of Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes fly dangerously close to the sun with Danny Boyle’s "Sunshine" (2007) starring Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, and Mark Strong.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field appreciate the film’s concept and its stellar performances. It’s a visually stunning, often awe-inspiring piece of sci-fi filmmaking. But the deeper they dig into the story, the more the cracks start to show; plot holes, frustrating character decisions, and a third-act shift that feels like it belongs to a completely different movie.

Still, "Sunshine" remains a fascinating sci-fi entry worth watching for its ambition alone. It’s a film that soars when it leans on its ideas and visuals…and burns up a bit when it drifts too close to chaos.
