from Crosswalk.com: "The year is 2057. The sun is dying, we are told in a voice-over by physicist Capa and thus the planet Earth is slowly beginning to freeze over. To save the sun and prevent the extinction of all life on earth, mankind has launched the spaceship Icarus to take a nuclear bomb the size of Manhattan to the sun to “jump-start” it back into working again. Yet Icarus lost contact with Earth and failed its mission. Now several years later in a last-ditch effort, Icarus II sets out on what may well be a suicide mission, to succeed where the first mission failed.
In the end the story sags a bit as it strays from the crew trying to keep up with decisions they are forced to make under rapidly deteriorating conditions, to a more boilerplate suspense thriller. Despite this turn, Sunshine is solid, reflective entertainment that refuses to sacrifice compelling storytelling on the altar of bigger and better explosions.
Rated R for violence." Consider watching it with ClearPlay.
