Sunshine—Movie Review

Nikole Picklesimer

I recently watched the movie Sunshine. My first impression was that this movie was dull and boring, but don't judge a book by it's cover...This movie turned out to be really thrilling.

Sunshine is set in the future(50 years from now). The sun is dying and in a last attempt to save Earth, 8 astronauts are sent up in space to set a bomb off on the sun to try an re-ignite the massive star.

Along the way, there are many obstacles that the crew will have to face, including ship problems and an unwanted guest on board.

Sunshine is a great sci-fi meets action flick. The way the the producers combined the two makes the movie irresistable and impossible to turn off. Anyone who loves a great action flick with an awesome twist should see Sunshine.

Actors in this movie include Rose Byrne, Cliff Curtis, Chris Evans, Troy Garity, Cillian Murphy, Hiroyuki Sanada, Mark Strong, Benedict Wong and Michelle Yeoh.

I'm glad to hear Sunshine was a good flick. I was a wee bit reserved about going to see it but my gut kept saying "It's got Cillian Murphy in it, how can it fail?". So maybe I'll go see it on Presidents Day or something.
