Sunshine illuminates Danny Boyle's tremendous talent. From Trainspotting to The Beach to 28 Days Later, Boyle's visual effects are his staple and they truly shine in his newest masterpiece. Sunshine takes place in the near future when the sun starts to fail. In order to save humankind, a ship is sent out with a "payload" to begin a new star in the core of the dying one. Much like Armageddon and Deep Impact, we have a handful of individuals charged with saving Earth. But the main difference is the "Cheese Factor" - Boyle's film does not concentrate on the heroic task that these people have undertaken, but instead focus on the human interaction between the crew and the cost of human frailty. Visually stunning with awesome scenes of Mercury and the Sun, my vote is to go see this in IMAX.
