Sunshine

The sun is dying and Earth's days are numbered in this sci-fi thriller helmed by Oscar winner Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire). With permanent darkness looming, scientists devise a plan to reignite the sun before the lights go out forever. To do so, a crew of astronauts is sent hurtling through space on an intense mission to determine the fate of the planet. Cillian Murphy and Michelle Yeoh co-star.

I may be the only family blog viewers who likes science fiction movies but I'll blog on this one anyhow. I'd never heard of the movie and rented it based on the description. Once you buy into the premise of flying to the sun to reignite it (kind of a stretch, but not for sci-fi) the movie really works. Good cast, real human reactions to the situations, and it moves right along. Maybe Becky would like it, don't know about the rest. Would like you hear your feedback if anyone else sees it. I liked it a lot.
