Catching Up On More Movies


The Sunshine

Yeah, I just had to watch this, since it's from the same director as "Trainspotting" and the writer of "The Beach". They have also collaborated before in another pseudo-science fiction movie, "28 Days Later", which now has a sequel, "28 Weeks Later".

It's not heavy science fiction. It's not even flashy science fiction, such as any time travel or teleportation effects movie. But it does not insult the intelligence of the viewer beyond the initial "what if" scenario, which is "what if the sun was dying and we could send a crew to reignite it?"

Or maybe it's just been a while since I last saw a good science fiction movie...

Oh, wait, there was "A Scanner Darkly".

I just watched this movie last night, before an unintentional Easter vigil where I went to sleep at past 5am. Will post a longer review of this in CSI, but it's good and currently relevant science fiction, just like the other movies from the same author: "Total Recall", "Minority Report", "Paycheck' and so forth.
