Fifty years from now, the sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star. But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. There is an accident, a fatal mistake, and a distress beacon from a spaceship that disappeared seven years earlier. Soon the crew is fighting not only for their lives, but

Is it just me or does anyone else see peoples faces for a fraction of a second when the crew was searching icarus 1 and their flashlight crossed the camera?

uh... hi. this movie is AWESOME.

Ha ha this is great! I was interested in downloading the soundtrack to the movie but instead I found the guestbook. Genius. I can't decide if Dr. Gerald Massimei is a comic genius or truly the dribbling lunatic he comes accross as.

And for the record, I sincerely doubt that with all encompassing love of mankind Jesus would give a rats ass as being refered to as "Jesus fucking Christ". Surely he would shine the holy light of forgiveness on the offending mortal in question. Or just shrug the whole thing off.
"They know not what they do." Or something along those lines...

And while we're on the topic, I take it for my slanderous blaspheming I'll be carted straight off to hell upon my death. Well, I'd just like to say, heaven dosn't really sound like all that great of a deal... No sex, no alchohol, no drugs and the company of fanatical lunatics to keep you busy for all eternity. It just dosn't sit well with me. Probably no internet either, which means no xbox live. I think hell might be a better place for me to be honest. At least those guys know how to have a bit of fun, am I right?

And by the way, Jesus drank, had sex out of wedlock, slept late and hung out with his mates. He sounded like a cool guy. I think he would probably think Dr.Gerald is a bit of a penis, and tell him to loosen the fuck up...

Was @ a hollywood video had a coupon for buy one movie get another free, so i got this movie, concidering the guy who did 28 days later, this movie will rock. OMG sure dude.. I want a soundtrack as well i'm all over the net trying to find it, but reading there isn't any.. i'm just going to go to the credits and read what songs are in there.. there's a certain song, that is really beautiful and towards the end with that song playing almost brought a tear to my eye.. PUSSY IAM yes oh well..

. . . Not really just wanted a eye catching title for all those "upstairs" that care little for the fans who all paid their hard cash to go see a brill film, then hoping to re-live the euphoric experience via the Soundtrack, only to be advised "cant sort out differences"

Well boo f****n hoo - newsflash -
"thousands of fans want to buy soundtrack = loads more cash for you"

Get it together and get it released. Please.

Brydo. Glasgow, Scotland. 2nd june 08.

Fuck you.

Fox: I will pay money for the soundtrack. And so will a lot of other people. Do a google search for "sunshine soundtrack" and you will see there is a significant demand. Get a last.fm account and check out the followers who want to relive the experience through music. We'll buy the movie. We'll buy the soundtrack. How can you turn down our money!?

Amazing film, very emotional. fantastic sound track, is a soundtrack cd?

when is the music sound track being released because there is a big market for it

ok .good jod

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE.

The sound track is awesome, combined with some very good scifi cinematography, and a unique plot. This is absolutely the best SciFi movie I've seen in the last year. Loved the ending, very 28 Days Later type ending which was great. This movies was kindof Solaris meets 28 Days Later, loved both movies and this one exceeded my expectations. I just want to know where I can buy the soundtrack :)

HORRIBLE!!!
THE WORST MOVIE EVER SEEN! PLEASE DANNY TRY TO DO SOMETHING BETTER NEXT TIME!I loved 28 DAYS LATER but this one is a f#%ckin' shi... !!!

Try backing up your argument with some support. Your opinion has a lack of credibility and it's ridiculous.

Sunshine is Amazing!!!!

Its the best Science Fiction movie to hit the big screen in years.

I have watched it 5 times and it never gets old

GO OUT and Buy SUNSHINE

Sunshine is Danny Boyle's best yet!

FRICKIN' SWEET!!!!!!!!!

hi there

i really wanna know what the music is on the start of the extended trailer for this film. its got quite a futuristic theme and only plays for the first couple of minutes. does anyone know????

(its not the clint mansell tune that was done for requiem for a dream and appeared on nearly every other trailer after the 2 towers.)

You're right, its NOT requiem for a dream by clint mansell. Its by Corner Stone Cues, track is titled: Requeim for a Tower,movements 2,3,and 4 on the album Requiem for a dream.

some guy gave me a link to the sunshine music soundtrack but i dont know if its spam, should i check it?

i look forward to watch this movie in india but dnt know when the movie is being released.

its not being released in india. Everyone there is out doing telephone support for the US companies, so there is no one left there to watch it.

This Movie ROCKS!

I wish it had a better impact in North America though.

At least I can invite all of my friends over to watch this though! =]

Sunshine RULEZ!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHA IT'S JUST A MOVIE, A MOTHERFUCKIN' GOOOOD MOVIE, SO JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT BLASPHEMY 'CAUSE YOU ALREADY SAW IT! AND i BET YOU LIKED IT. STOP DOWNLOADING PORN, MASTURBATIN, GETTING ANAL FUCKET AND SUCKING YOUR NEIGHBOUR'S COCK AND THEN SPEAK!.

SUNSHINE IS BEAUTIFUL...

The perfect film for the big screen, sumptuous visuals, sublime music, well acted and directed, what more could you ask for.?

Finally, after owning a great bootleg of the movie from a flea market, at a cost of $5, i have pre-ordered the dvd from amazon for the north american release. Took you long enough !! I suppose the copy i got was taken from the european release, as it was dvd quality, and has tided me over until the official release. Begs the question, though, why wait so long? The chance you will lose a lot of money to piracy seems dumb.

Even though i bought one, i still ordered the dvd anyway, as i couldnt wait for the release, and now cant wait for all the extras on the disc.

Heres the next problem...the soundtrack. Man, why werent "rights" for a cd release figured out BEFORE a film gets made? I dont get it...now the soundtrack is in limbo (god-damn lawyers) hell. If Underworld only did "about 15%" of the musical score, why isnt the guy who did the other 85% allowed to release his part?

I would hate to be kept from royalties due to lawyers taking forever to sort this shit out. The soundtrack is the most beautiful chill out music imaginable, and needs to be releases a s a p...PLEEEEEZZZZEEEEE. I want it so bad, dont make me go to a music site to D/L it, i want to give you cash for the real thing!! Think of it...real cash for your product, instead of downloaded for free...dont you want my money, Fox?

Someone needs to get their finger out, give us a heads up on the possible release date for this amazing soundtrack.

C'mon guys...get your pr people into overdrive, or at least passable working speed, and give us some info...stop messing your buying public around, stop losing cash, and lets move on.

Thanks for any help/dates/info etc from someone at the studio who cares about the movie fans on here. Take a moment for us, the general public who spend our hard earned dollars on your product (or would, if it was available).

Regards, Steve C.

ok i think everybody needs to calm down about the whole "religion" thing....to the believers, you need to chill out, there are lots of people in hollywood that are going to make "blasphemous films" because they make a lot of money and if your so set in your beliefs then watching something like this shouldnt bother you because you know without a shadow of a doubt that your right and it is fiction.

except your probably not right...this isnt to say that God doesnt exist...im sure It does, i've felt It's presence many times before...however spouting the rules you follow is only good if your tryin to get beat up, dont force your views on us...i doubt Christ would if he were here.

to the non-believers and atheists...open your mind...reality is so much more than what you see everyday so who are you to tell us that we go nowhere when we die and God doesn't exist? Can your mind even comprehend the notion of a God?

it sucks that this movie was so awesome and on this page its been belittled by childish religious banter.

i guess stupidity comes in all forms.

Does anyone know the name of the last song in sunshine?

Does anyone know the name of the last song in sunshine?

GODDAMN GOOD MOVIE! yep, really good. too bad FOX tried to quell its success by limiting the release because if the religious slurs incuded. but, hey, thats a right-wing neocon company for you.

Did you know that there was a time when the entertainment industry was bound by a code that forbade them from using any blasphemy in a movie? The “Hays Code” stated:

Pointed profanity--this includes the words “God,” “Lord,” “Jesus,” “Christ” (unless used reverently), “Hell,” “S.O.B.,” “damn,” or every other profane or vulgar expression, however used--is forbidden.

Well, unfortunately for you your movie Sunshine blast the shit out of God's name. What did he do to piss you all off so much? Your movie is boycotted by me and I'm sure this won't be the last movie you piss out.

Both "god" and "jesus" don't exist. They, and all religions for that matter, are nothing more than early human fabrications to justify our existance and tools of oppresion welded by those with power over weak-minded people. Therefore, your complaint of blasphemy within this movie is without merit.

Your a Dick...i hate people like you who try to put you psychological, pathological mind games off on people who try to find something to believe in...and i don't know why people like you get me so worked up anyway...i mean...opinions are like @$$ holes...everyone has one...

I'm just curious as to where you get your facts.
Let me guess, from some guy who wrote it in a book?
Or, maybe from a person who taught you that "this is what REALLY happened..."

OK...well until you can tell me that you were there when Christ was alive...or that you were there when the universe was created, then shut you trap and keep your one-track thoughts to yourself.

By the way...this movie was freaking great!

"Let me guess, from some guy who wrote it in a book?
Or, maybe from a person who taught you that "this is what REALLY happened..."

that's EXACTLY what religion is based on. your argument is ridiculous. and so is your religion.

All I can say is wow...just wow. I know we all have freedom of speech and freedom of expression, at least in most places, but I'll just never understand why anyone feels the need to make such comments at all. If you don't like this, or any other, film for whatever reason, why not just decide you aren't going to have anything to do with the film any longer and leave the rest of us alone? Whatever religious or moral system you follow is YOUR system and does not, and should not, hold any control of any kind over anyone other than yourself. Simply put, if you don't like a movie, don't watch it and move on; We've all got better things to do than listen to you whine about how it offended you.

That said, this reasoning can be applied to most of the comments here that have anything at all to do with religion or personal morals and/or beliefs.

If you want to have a religious or moral debate, then perhaps you would be better off finding a site dedicated to such debate rather than posting comments on a random film site.

Now, for those of you thinking that I'm being a huge hypocrite in posting this, the actual reason for my post is curiosity. I'm genuinely curious as to why anyone feels the need to make such posts which do little more than state their own personal religious / moral beliefs, and which don't offer any real information in regard to the subject at hand, I.E. the film?

It saddens my heart that we as a society not only condone but encourage the blasphemous use of our creators name.for those of you who have replied and will reply to these types of posts with malicious justifications, consider this, though this may not offend you now or ever it certainly does not contribute to the overall viewing pleasure.I certainly would not object to the omission of anything that offends others and does not affect me in any way. try to be civil on this forum and remember we are all stuck on this crazy planet together. Thank you for understanding

There is no god people come on.........we weren't created by "Our Creator"this is a myth handed down by Pagens and Egiptians who made up the story of about the constelations of stars in our galaxy. Go to: Movieforumz.com and find a Movie called: ZeitGeist (It will give you all the answers you need)

Let's fly into the Sun, cause it's DYING!! What a fun premise. A great sci-fi film, certainly some good visuals...better than what you would find on the sci-fi channel. And when did this forum become a theological debate? Keep you religion and beliefs too yourselves. You should all appreciate this great sci-fi movie regardless of blasphemy. Cause' if believing some Arab named Jesus was the son of GOD 2,000 years ago isn't sci-fi, I dont know what is is. Anywayz, enjoy this film in all it's blasphemous glory!!
Regards,
Dave the Athiest
P.S Don't bother replying with your middle American banter!
Love N.Y.C

It's Not Sci-Fi, Its Epic.
Nuff Said

Why are you sabotaging your own film, Fox Searchlight? Posting major spoilers on the front page of the official site is not going to whet people's appetites. People hate spoilers. I can't believe such information was posted openly like that. It seems a rather odd way to publicize.

After reading the comments I've decided not to see the movie.
since it contains blasphemy. I don't use your momma's name to express something negative, it's offensive to hear people use God's name for that.

For all you bible-thumping freaks: don't see this movie, because you simply can't handle it.

Burn in hell!

I am a born-again Christian and I loved the film... incredible story and I found it very spiritual inregard to using the element of light to reveal the darkness of one's heart. I am also a huge Danny Boyle fan... 28 Days Later is my favorite film. Anyway, this bible-thumping freak gives 'Sunshine' an A+! Peace, Saucrates

AMEN TO THAT!

Well don't. I am sure we will all cry ourselves to sleep tonight, because you refused to watch a movie that contains blasphemy :)

This sounds like an excellent movie to add to the list of sci-fi genre movies. I could care less about blasphemy - after all, when you're on a mission to save the world and things start going wrong, it's just natural to curse. I know I would and I'd find the movie just a little unbelieveable if I didn't hear any cursing. As far as the premise goes, sure the sun isn't going to cool down in 50 years - we just have to take that with a grain of salt. And if it did actually cool down in 50 years, it's very unlikely that our science would be at a point that we could do anything about it (no matter how big a bomb we might be able to build - it wouldn't be big enough). But again, we must take this with a grain of salt. The movie is there to entertain us - it doesn't have to be perfectly in sync with real science to do that. You just have to accept a few basic "truths" (that you may know to be false) and suspend your disbelief enough to get past them. That's how you watch movies like Blade or X-Men or 28 Days Later or watch TV shows like Heroes or The 4400 or Stargate SG-1. They're not real either, but they're fun to watch and that's the whole point. I'm hoping this will be better than Solaris (which I thought was mediocre) but I think it would be stretching my expectations to think it could ever reach the level of 2001 which was in a class by itself.

Just FYI, the cooling of the Sun in Sunshine is based upon the Q-Ball theory being studied at CERN. Google "CERN and Q-Ball" if you want more info.
