Boyle and Garland routinely explore genre films; so of course this is full of familiar elements, just as 28 Days Later had many familiar elements from the zombie genre. But they try to do something new and interesting with each genre they explore. My respect for Sunshine has grown with successive viewings, because I think they managed to create a sci-fi film with more deeply drawn characters than just about any other example I can remember. As always, YMMV.
