Sunshine is an awesome serious science fiction movie, a rare breed that only emerges from the crowds of superhero, horror, space opera and other related genres. Really a science fiction / psychological thriller, this movie shows the way a small crew on a long haul in a dangerous mission vital for the survival of the human race handles themselves when everything goes wrong. The psychological aspect seemed realistic to me, as did much of the space stuff, but macguffin seemed a little sketchy.
Sunshine is a treat for the eyes and ears. After just 15 or 20 minutes I was already amazed at the use of color, blues and grays and greens inside of the ship and violent yellow and white for the sun create a strong contrast and give insight to the strange dichotomy of stress and boredom that must come along with a long trip to save the world when you have only one chance to do it. The music is great and helps create much of the drama during spacewalks and other such moments. I actually had to turn down the volume during a couple parts so I would be able to handle it better.
Cost/Benefit Analysis: I didn't pay to see it, but I would love to see it on a big screen with a great sound system behind it. I would gladly pay full price to see it.

I loved this movie up to the point it turned into a slasher thriller. I felt like that was unnecessary. Other than that, this movie really impressed me. I agree with you about the colors and the music. And I loved the message.
