It featured a pre-Captain America Chris Evans, a typically great Cillian Murphy, one of the best soundtrack moments in history and a highly divisive final act...You might not, considering it was a box office flop, making just under $35 million from a budget of $40 million – and it's worth noting right out of the gate that there are films out there with five times that production budget that don't look anywhere near as visually stunning as this does.
Along the way, that pesky aforementioned signal appears, dividing the team on what they should do and ultimately derailing everything. The 'monster' in this case is the sun itself. As for the villain? We'll get there...Sunshine boasts an excellent and pleasingly diverse cast, populated with recognisable character actors that you believe could indeed perform the specific specialist functions required in this uniquely high-pressure environment.
Rose Byrne manages to drag the most out of fairly underwritten character Cassie, who serves as pilot of the Icarus II and close friend of Capa. Hiroyuki Sanada, who you'll recognise from the likes of Ringu, LOST, and The Last Samurai, is superb as Kaneda, the ship's captain. Benedict Wong, who would later land his own recurring Marvel role as Wong, has an important part as Trey, the navigator.
Seriously, this is one thing that a sci-fi film with a crew of people simply must get right – populate the arena with familiar faces, great actors and relatable human beings. Make them interesting and likeable even when the script lets them down a little – it matters a great deal when things inevitably go very wrong for them. Sunshine's cast nails this.
Unfortunately this film triggered for me the worst migraine in my entire life, I had to be actually carried out of the cinema by my then-boyfriend. Never seen it since, a shame as I recall the story being pretty good. But you know when association puts you off
