There are a few space-sci fi movies I've just never got into.
Two I can think of are Sunshine and Pandorum.
Sunshine is often praised as a great film but I just don't see it. Pandorum just comes over like a botched excuse for Event Horizon.
Admittedly I've never watched these films the whole way through. Am I being overly harsh?
Sunshine had makings of a truly magnificent scifi movie that just was not bold enough. I expected the plot to make a metaphysical leap, to take us beyond the Sun, into another realm or dimension or whatever, a bit like 2001: A Space Odyssey. But instead it turned out to be a B-movie horror plot. That said, before the ending I enjoyed it immensely and would like to see it again.
ReplyDeleteWell, based on that Arto I shall have to give Sunshine another whirl. It may have been the lead actor who put me off first time round.
