[SPOILERS] Film Club Discussion - Sunshine

What did you like and/or dislike about the film? Why?
I liked the music and atmosphere. Had some really inspiring music. However, I didn't feel there was a whole lot of character development, so the scenes where characters would start to get killed off didn't have as much impact on me as the movie seemed to think it was having. Also there was an overuse of random camera cuts for half a second and the constantly disjointed video and audio resulting because of that just got annoying.

Was there something you did not understand in the film?
Most of it was fairly easy to follow.

Would you improve anything about the film?
It needed more character development and there was a real opportunity to explore the whole science versus religion aspect created through the antagonist that they largely didn't do anything with beyond using it as a simple motivation for the bad guy to be the bad guy.

Were you satisfied with the ending?
Somewhat. The movie has a decent resolution but I couldn't help feeling like there were things missing in the movie that it needed to make me feel more satisfied.

What is your overall rating?
6/10. It was overall a decent watch.

What did you like and/or dislike about the film? Why?
I liked the music ad how it worked really well with what was happening on screen. I also liked the visual effects (in HD it felt like you were actually there) they looked stunning and the set used. I do agree that the film lacked proper character development liked that seen in Danny Boyles other films such as Slumdog Millionaire.

Was there something you did not understand in the film?
I was slightly confused about how Pinbacker got on board apart from that everything made sense.

Would you improve anything about the film?
More character development.

Were you satisfied with the ending?
Overall, I was indeed satisfied with the ending.

What is your overall rating?
7/10
