I liked Sunshine a lot. It's not the typical/traditional Sci-fi movie with planets, aliens, lasers, monsters and explosions everywhere, but thats exactly why I liked It. Not that I don't like "traditional" Science Fiction movies with the above- mentioned things, I definitely love those, but Sunshine was just different. First of all It had a beautiful visual side, at moments even breathtaking. Actually the visuals alone make the movie stand out but also the acting and the sound was great.
There are plot holes in the movie though, or things you know just can't be done only 50 years from now, but on the other hand there are so many other believable things in Sunshine and the movie is just so damn beautiful that you don't want to pull It down. Also you might argue that everything goes a bit "over the edge" towards the end, but compared to Aliens, Riddick, Serenity etc, etc It's nothing really.
Overall I found Sunshine to be a great refreshing take on a genre that as of late, has been somewhat streamlined and even a bit boring.
To sum It up...Sunshine had an interesting and in some ways a very realistic story, It was well acted, had mesmerizing visuals, good music and not exactly a Hollywood ending and that makes Sunshine a memorable and stylish Sci- fi movie in my book.
