I was dissatisfied with it primarily because I thought it was two movies--and not a blend between two, but a switch from one to the other.

Yeah, that was one of the flaws.

Maybe not that it was two different movies, but that it should have been integrated better or transitioned better from one to the other. I can see how they wanted to make the ending more exciting, but they definitely dropped the ball in trying to do so.

Just went back and reread everybody's comments on Sunshine, and generally agree with most of them. I wasn't so dissatisfied with the ending and the transition into it that it ruined the movie for me, but it was a massive flaw.

I also wish (like somebody else, Juliebird, I think) that somehow more of what Boyle, the writer, and the actors and wanted and intended for the film had actually made it onscreen. It was clear from the supplementary materials on the DVD that they had all intended to deliver more than I felt actually made it into the film.

Still, I really liked the movie it was for the first two thirds or so of its length.

Now I'm curious what it was that drove Matt TBF from the theater when he saw it.

Watched Sunshine last night. It had some flaws, but all around, I'd like to see more sci fi movies like that.

I really enjoyed it. I had quibbles...mostly related to gravity. But I really liked the performances.

I left the movie feeling like someone had taped over the last 20 minutes with a really crappy movie that just happened to have most of the same actors as the really good movie I'd just been watching. "Ruined" is the wrong word.

I'm so intrigued about Sunshine. I don't know what to expect from it.

I rented The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill the other night. I can recommend it, not necessarily as a documentary, but a very sweet portrait. It's also interesting to hear someone describe the personalities of wild animals they've observed for a while. The DVD is really welcome because it wraps up some loose ends from the movie satisfyingly.

I just saw Sunshine and I didn't like it at all. The latter 20 or so minutes is absolutely disastrous. I'm not sure what the writer and director were thinking. Beau and I put on the commentary because we wanted some explanation and his commentary was so bad that we turned it off in disgust.

The director also chuckled at the extreme physical discomfort his actors experienced during certain scenes, and that didn't sit right with me. I'm hoping he intended his chuckles without malice, but I didn't like it.

It was very enlightening about Chris Evans, a nice glimpse of the mostly wasted Michelle Yeoh, and lovely face time with Cillian Murphy.

Yeoh was criminally wasted. I mean really. Why bother to cast her?
