The July 20th date is a limited release. It doesn't go wide until July 27th from what I've heard.

Also, this weekend Richard Roeper listed it as one of the movies to be reviewed on "Ebert & Roeper" (or now more accurately "Roeper and guest-of-the-week") that'll be broadcast next weekend, so that'll be some exposure.

I caught this when I was in Barcelona back in April and really enjoyed it. Actually, I thought it had better pacing than "28 Days Later." Boyle really brings the paranoia/suspense level here. It reminded me so much of "Alien." (In a good way).

So is Sunshine a monster movie ??? The trailer really grabbed be, suggesting a fun sci-fi movie, perhaps on par with The Core, but hopefully better.

But a monster movie? I don't mind vague, careful previews. But I loathe misleading previews.

Well damn it, you could have warned us that James B's review pretty much spoils the entire plot including the last quarter of the film, no huge surprises for me anymore in regards to this film. Mind you the "Extended Trailer" also does a pretty good job at this...so head's up.


Was this film inspired by the PS1 video game Sentient? I see quite a few rather large similarities including the name of the ship, the look of the ship, the basic plot etc. etc.

"Mind you the "Extended Trailer" also does a pretty good job at this...so head's up."

Yea it does. Which is why I didnt put any sort of warning about the review.
It also shows you the fates of a few characters, which suprised me.

Ill put a warning spoiler on the James B link.

They didn't seem to like it too much....two thumbs down....

But they did say it looked great...

[Inspector Hammer!]

I really enjoyed The Core (yep, i'm easily amused ) so i'll love this i'm sure.

Didn't care for Boyle's 28 Days Later but this looks great.

Not playing near me yet.
