Sunshine movie is a hot hit

Sunshine

Director: Danny Boyle

Cast: Cillian Murphy, Rose Byrne, Chris Evans, Cliff Curtis

A superb sci-fi thriller – with a nod in the direction of the current global warming obsession – and fine acting from a cast that, under director Boyle, stays well away from the gung-ho, let’s-go antics of this type of film.

It’s a thoughtful, serious and always gripping tale as a team of astronauts is sent on the dangerous mission to restore the dimming rays of the sun, several years after a previously failed mission.

Murphy, now established as a fine addition to the Hollywood Irish, is excellent … but then so is the rest of the cast in this must-see movie.

Star Rating: 5/5
