But overall, the movie was amazing, the emotion and art in certain camera shots were spectacular. I really did love the movie in the end. Also, blech, Requiem for a Dream music again... |
I agree 100%. The first half of the movie was incredible while the last third or so was merely "very good". The intensity level was amazing and reminded me a lot of 2001 with its methodical pacing through extremely intense events. That's a very good thing because I still believe 2001 to be the greatest science fiction movie ever created.
BTW, how creepy was it when they flashed up the crew's faces when they entered the ship? It took me a bit to realize what Boyle was doing and it creeped me out to no end.
IMO, Sunshine is probably the best science fiction movie I have seen since Event Horizon. It's an extremely well-crafted movie with great characters, great pacing, and great horror moments.
