SUNSHINE (2007) EXPLORED 

$20 million according to Danny Boyle.

Doubt they spent the other 20 mil on ads. I found the movie on a free site when it was still fairly new.

ikr

So true. Well put 👍

A good production team is all you need. A team that doesn't cut corners in quality control

bodies aching all the time

mamaaa UWU

His obsession 😣

Too bad there was no answer besides "fire" :/

yeah, that part with the incredible music building up in the background....really got the feels going for sure.

Good points! 👍

I agree he was right but he definitely let his emotions get in the way in some moments. Mainly communicating with Kappa and trying to blame him for the deaths. Yes he made the decision but it was the only decision really, two payloads is better than one. I think Mace and Kappa were both equally the heros and they're acting was extraordinary in this film.

neat

Captain America has to get frozen in ice somehow.

@@ivanessa_schnitzel A movie for people with no understanding of physics, reality or even common sense! Just like the writers!

My buddy pointed that out at 10 min into the the movie ... he says 'The Icarus is a terrible name for a ship, I bet it is going to melt in the sun' .... lol

Honestly I would have named the followup Daedelus just to make sure that it didn't happen again.

I'd have named it Prometheus, he did after all steal the power of fire from the gods & gave it to man. Seemed fitting since they are effectively using that gift of fire to restart the sun

Never forget, the British sent two ships named the Erebus and the Terror into the artic circle to find the Northwest Passage in real life. Both were ice locked and the crew ate each other, as you would expect with those Ill omened names. Governments lack caution about these kinds of things.

I would named it escanor instead

Same. I saw the movie on an website back in 08 when I was in college. Didn't know it was supposed to a box office film, just thought it went straight to DVD. Then I noticed that the trailer song was used for other movie trailers and that's when I figured that the movie was bigger than I thought it was

In terms of Marketing, yes, I did NOT see any of it myself... not via trailers or anything. However, I DID watch it in theaters one time with some of my friends back in HS. We planned to watch a different movie but f-ed on the schedule and was no longer running. We saw the movie poster and said: meh, why not? Good choice i might add haha

There was very little. I think it came out around when the movie the Core was out and that movie sucked ass.

I saw one commercial as a kid, the only reason I knew it existed.

Saw it in the cinema, but I remember it was a small hall.

Yeeesssss noone talks about this!

The flashes were really creepy. For a moment, I thought it was just me XD

The first flash was so quick it almost felt subliminal.

I thought my screen or the movie was broken for some reason when they entered the ship and saw a literal face in the screen. I was barely looking at my monitor because I was doing work while watching the movie but I caught the exact single frame at the right time and it spooked me out. Had to rewind the frames multiple times to confirm if i was just tripping or not but then it started to show multiple single shot frames of different people. Was very odd, but cool and probably a lot of people missed it.

​@@sci-fyguy7767bruh I was so creeped out that I took a screenshot and started reverse image searching it 😂

Bc it's a horrible movie. Horrible reviews and ratings.

I respect your opinion, @@tsmk4262 , but if I may ask, have you have seen Sunshine?

@@caileanthomson1286 Interesting assumption/question. That didn't cross my mind however it should have. I forgot that people make passionate statements on topics they know nothing about. Stupid me assuming the person watched the movie. @@

Um, did you mean me or TS MK,@@augustusmcgovern6084?

@@caileanthomson1286 I was referring to the fact that many people comment on things they have not even experienced. I suppose a far fetched example is having an in depth conversation with a Roman Catholic priest about vaginal intercourse. Now if the conversation was about... lmao!

Absolutely agree.

Yup kinda screwed it up

@@Janzer_ The slasher aspects of the movie were hallucinations, they weren't real

@@l3s803 even if that were the case (which we have no reason to assume), that means they still fucked up the execution of it, since no one followed along those lines while watching it.... it's a failure all the same

The 3rd act feels like it’s a complete different movie. Shockingly bad. Such a nose dive it’s crazy . Great film other than that

I know right!! this line dialogue gives goosebumps!

@@swimfly09 Right up there with "Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see," from Event Horizon. Both films make a good double bill actually. Add Pandorum on there if one fancies a triptych.

@@TheBeird I haven't seen Event Horizon. Just searched for it.. As you have told me know, I will definitely watch it this weekend! I love Sunshine kind of films, I feel such movies opens up my mind to think more about our existence.

@@swimfly09 Tis the true purpose of storytelling, no? Hope you enjoy EH, and that you got a strong stomach

This is why the ending was good

"All it takes is 25 cents"

papa johns

@@tsnoob4669 it only takes little push like gravity to make person insane.

Yup I was glad that it wasn't just another generic looking "spaceship"

The look like eyes

Totally agree.

Yah, even though the slasher part was a hallucination in their brains trying to make sense of their impending death, it was very misleading and felt out of place, bringing down the impact of the movie

The 3rd act was quite genius and well-executed. Calling it a "slasher flick" is intentionally inaccurate.

@@drago939393 You are spot on! I am sick of people saying Sunshine turns into a "slasher". The story makes it clear the psychological effect that the mission has on people and it personifies man's god-complex. Definitely not expected, but amazing nonetheless.

@@Blake101247 Extra crispy ass Pibacker was real. His being a hallucination is just an Internet fan theory ripped from the anus, like a Law & Order episode.

more underrated than event horizon?

@@andykapsar4667 Equally underrated, but Event Horizon is more sci-fi horror where as Sunshine is a Sunshine thriller film.

Snow piercer was better

@@chaikagaz nah

@@josuegarduno7154 yeah

that score when theyre blasting out of the airlock tho!

@Brandon Piperjack "pique", piperjacque...

and that verge was the end of the second act

@@notimportant3686 ive watched it many years ago and returned to it knowing what to expect. Knowing that the movie takes a slasher kind of turn in the end was crucial for finally enjoying the whole thing. The expectations ruined it the first time I saw it it.

Uh no.... There are so many holes in this movie. Its definitely made for slow Millennials and is no where near a masterpiece.

@@TickleFingers what holes were there?

@@ceapy Just about NOTHING in this movie would have ever taken place and it causes the believability to plummet. There would never have been a deviation from the set course. One person wouldn't be up all night implementing a course change without it being triple checked and implemented by the entire crew and authorized by the Captain. The ship didn't need to be turned to the extent that it was and was apparent since there was enough shielding provided at less of an angle once it began to turn back. "I'm going to give them as much shade as possible" 🤦🏻‍♂️. Also, the communications array was the only thing that they thought would be damaged and they "forgot" about the oxygen farm, the most important thing on the ship mind you, and the fact that it would also no longer be shielded in it's rotation 🥴 Herrrr Derp! Then, the entire ship has to be undocked to dock with the other ship 🥴. NO! They would have a shuttle, but that wouldn't work for the plot twist because then they would have seen pepperoni man on board a small shuttle with them. And the ship only has one air lock....🤦🏻‍♂️🥴, Yeah NO! Strange how when the "bomb" was detached from the ship there was another airlock at the front 🤦🏻‍♂️🥴🥴🥴🥴! Herrrr Derp! And then somehow pepperoni man has super strength and can't be killed🤦🏻‍♂️. Was it the magical sun that fried him up and gave him super strength 🤣. And was it meant that home-slice psychologist was on his way to being pepperoni man #2, but got bested by pepperoni man #1 🤣 (so F-ing stupid)? If the entire human race hangs in the balance, none of this would take place. The lives of 8 people are expendable for the lives of billions and a bunch of millennial types would not be running around playing ship for such an important task. This movie is horrible, unbelievable and is not even close to a masterpiece as some claim. The visuals are amazing, but the plot seems like it was written by some board highschool dropout trying to make some money.

Adding it to the list now, thanks :)

@@filmcomicsexplained anytime! Great uploads, I love to watch each of them :)

The DORUK EXCELLENT movie! I own it and it is an esoteric masterpiece.

What master work ? He just made a summary of the movie ... That's "master work" ?

BlaccRainbow damn it is scarecrow, almost didn’t recognize him

Well u forgot Travis Manawa and Musashi

@@ByFurah looks like we know what travis did after escaping the zombies

Beg your pardon, you mean Thomas focking Shelby

Now we know how Cap was frozen

Must be summer sun

I feel that ice is slowly melting...

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Little Darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Why

that score when theyre blasting out of the airlock tho!

You have shit taste in movies

@@chaikagaz Are you watching this video just to troll in the comment section? Lol. What are some of your favorite sci fi movies that you would consider underrated?

@@anthonyfuller9933 His favorite movies are Birdemic, Sharknado, Samurai Cop etc. His Sci fi movies are all and only from Neil Breen's collection.

It's easy to see why people worshipped it in times past

Every summer I go through the same mental trip

He's not protecting himself. His skin begins to peel and the ship's AI prevents him from viewing the sun at a greater brightness.

Him and Chris Elevated this movie from trash to good.

The music is transcending. I was just staring at the sun and it was a bad idea. even with sunglasses

thats because this movie is shit. it looks good, that's about it

@@Nefville lol

Garland is closer to Denis Villaneuve and Alfonso Cuaron IMO.

Garland is a good writer, and a bad director. He needs to team with Danny Boyle to make great things. Everything he makes without Boyle is shit.

It was one of those moments when you go and see a gem and realise it ... I have only had that feeling when going to see the Matrix too.

I was searching in the comment section for a linkin park comment thank you

@@JoaoPereira-vk8si you're in luck, because I didn't see anyone else does it.

Bc critics hated it and so did viewers lol

Rekaert that was the theoretical cut. The very rare RE-Edit has a psycho killer but it is for shadowed throughout the movie, it turns out that the Sun is in facts alive and is possessing some people as it wants to kill us. Its been trying to since the beginning.

@@FrostedTwo not true. It turns out the captain of the first ship starts to worship the sun and believes humanity should end so waits for the second ship. The director even explains that. It's foreshadowed through the second ships doctor being fansinated to a spiritual level about the sun.

I still hope for a fan-recut that cuts the horror stuff out, it felt totally out of place.

@@donnmckee4973 the crazy captain was not even the problem... his super-human power and invincibility was... ruined the movie to me :(

Jaroslav Záruba Same! How tf does a deep fried man (whose arm skin can be pulled off like pulling the skin off of a well done thanksgiving turkey) become an unstoppable hell raiser? I mean, how doesn’t his vision get impaired but his whole body is roasted...

I was lucky enough to see this in theaters in 2007 :) I was still young and it stuck with me forever. I didn’t know that about the Pinbacker reference, very interesting!

well said

Well put 👍

I am so moved by this wonderful comment. I will make sure to remember it for my next discussion about this movie. SUNSHINE has left me completely spellbound - it is unquestionably the most intense film I have ever seen. The amalgamation of awe, existential dread, and terror is absolutely indescribable. The gentle, ever so serene melody that envelopes Searle as he gazes at the Sun touches my soul with eternal beauty and a sense of wonder. The voice of Icraus was immaculate

As I witness the irresistible allure of the Sun showcased in this mesmerizing movie, I can't help but tart to look directly at the Sun. Its enchanting beauty has captivated me, evoking a sense of awe and fascination that I cannot resist.

In that fleeting moment, as Mercury seemed to be drawn towards the Sun, a shiver ran down my spine. It prompted me to consider the distant likelihood of Earth meeting a similar destiny in eons to come. The crew in silent awe witnessing the possible undoing of all creation and existence

The Last Message/A Particularly Beautiful Day. The little serene melody that plays at the start when Searle is looking at the Sun
