Sunshine

The sun is dying, and the only way to save it is to blow up all the fissile material on Earth in the middle of the sun. Not sure about the science, but the movie is decent, if a bit leisurely. One thing I take away from it is the versatility of director Danny Boyle, whose work includes "Trainspotting," "28 Days Later," "Millions," and now this sci-fi emo-action flick. Most directors stick to one genre and one filming style -- not Mr. Boyle.

Another thing this film shows, though, is that every decent idea for space movies has already been done by "2001," "Alien," and "Event Horizon."
