This sci-fi thriller started so strong. It began as a hard science fiction film with a spaceship basically pushing a nuclear bomb the size of Manhattan towards the Sun. The ship and crew's task is to reignite the dying Sun. The look and feel of the first half of the movie are wonderful. One of the best parts occurs early as the crew gets to witness the tiny planet Mercury passing between them and the Sun. The science of the movie; the 2001-"feel" of it, the repair of the ship and the golden space suits are really excellent.
Unfortunately, in its last 30 minutes, Sunshine confuses, becoming more like Event Horizon. It also becomes quite confusing as Capa (Cillian Murphy) struggles or hallucinates, I'm not sure which, to complete the mission. It's difficult not to like Sunshine for its Sci-Fi wonders, but it falls off sharply in its final half.
