      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 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.

    *spoilers* one thing I really love about this movie is how 1: Mace is the undoubted hero of this piece. Literally everything he said and did was correct from the get-go. And 2: Mace's death is foreshadowed a couple of times. He is associated throughout the whole move with Cold, and Water. He spends his time on the earth room watching cold waves crush against a sea wall. And he is the only crew-member never seen in sunlight. He is always framed under the cold blue of the Icarus II. So his death being in harsh blue light freezing in cold water is very fitting.

      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.

    What a shame when people talk about Danny Boyle's movies, Sunshine is hardly ever mentioned. It's a shame, because this is one of the better, underrated Sci-Fi films out there. Alex Garland's script is terrific, John Murphy has a great score, Danny Boyle films it so well and all the actors deliver spectacular performances.

    The Sun itself is one of the main characters in the movie. It's not only the main goal/ purpose/ target/ destination of the main characters. With scenes like that, when they stare at it, when its burning them, when it kills them, when it's so loud (as in the beginning of this video), it itself shows traits and affects the rest of the crew and the journey. It's not only the background, the mentioned thing, the motive, the thing the screenplayer had to come up with so the rest have a purpose to be there - it actually takes part in the story.

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.

The visuals are still fantastic and have a realism to them, not found in many CGI fests today. The 3rd act doesn't bother me particularly. I kind of like the Pinbacker trying to stop humanity playing God, aspect. If Danny B had tried to pull off a '2001', the film might have ended with a flaccid sputter.

    I’m convinced Icarus’ ship design was taken from a Star Wars novel, Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire. There was a planet the characters visited that was super close to its star and they had a ship like Icarus with a massive shield to escort smaller ships to the planet. If you see the way they rendered it in the comic adaptation (issue 2) you’d swear they almost pulled it right off the page.
