sun catastrophe

The Chinese title is poorly translated, making it look like a disaster movie, but it's actually a science fiction movie.
The advantages of SUNSHINE are as prominent as the disadvantages.
Pros: Beautifully crafted images, lots of poetry, which makes it look a little otherworldly, but like the same butterfly that can't get out of its cocoon, always with a commercial chrysalis tail - I mean, the whole story can't have The same poetic, so it can only look up to "2001 A Space Odyssey", only to look up to Master Kubrick.
There are many other advantages, the actors are excellent - although the characters are relatively mediocre, Michelle Yeoh has become a bit rambunctious; the music is very beautiful, and many partial passages feel ethereal.
In fact, a film like this, with beautiful pictures and melodious music, seems to be enough, but I still can't feel it impresses me, the reason is that the rhythm is too slow, I doubt that it is Michael Bay, is it Can make it into a tense sci-fi movie, but then I might think it's too featureless, everything is enjoyable, but everything is expected?
But Danny is not Michael, "SUNSHINE" still has his mark, although this mark is very light, it almost made me forget the "28 Days" and "Trainspotting" he directed. I can't blame Danny for this shortcoming, only Blame Alex Garland, the screenwriter of the film. Though the idea was shocking enough - a new sun exploded out of the sun, ha! ——But in the whole process, the rhythm is so monotonous that people want to fall asleep, and the rhythm is also slow, so "2001 Space Odyssey" will never make people drowsy.

The final fight was a bit tense, but it seemed that there was something wrong, and it couldn't make people nervous. I attributed it to the mysterious factor of the director's temperament. The end of the film is a typical sci-fi ending - the same ENDING I have seen in countless good and bad sci-fi films such as "Independence Day" and "Peerless Catastrophe".

SUNSHINE has a lot of flashy details and creative design, but Danny wears it down while trying to make the story poetic.
It is true that success is also Xiao He and Xiao He is also Xiao He.
