Sunshine

"All you have to is look out for a little extra brightness in the sky. So if you wake up one morning and it's a particularly beautiful day, you'll know we made it."

Sunshine is a truly amazing and mind blowing movie that has left me in complete awe from the beginning to end. Sci-fi isn't a movie genre that I usually enjoy, but this was an exception as it was truly breathtaking. Some scenes were visually astonishing, while others were full of thrills and chills that should leave you on the edge of your seat wanting to know how this masterpiece ends. And it's the ending that really left me in complete admiration of this film, despite the circumstances of what has happened, the ending it perfect and completely satisfying.

The film centers around a crew who have left earth in a frozen winter, with a purpose to use their payload, a stellar bomb, to create a star within the sun. This has very original plot points that I have never seen before in a movie, and I loved the contrast between the lightness and darkness that is used. The cast were also amazing in most cases, some characters had key parts to the story that simply could not be any better than they turned out to be. Cillian Murphy was outstanding, I can now say that I admire him as an actor. Chris Evans's performance was from absolute brilliance. Rose Byrne was superb, as was Cliff Curtis.

Definitely recommend this to any Sci-fi fan.. and even if you aren't, I strongly recommend that you at least try watching this flick.
