"Kaneda....what do you see!" That part sent shivers down my spine.
bodies aching all the time
mamaaa UWU
His obsession 😣
Too bad there was no answer besides "fire" :/
yeah, that part with the incredible music building up in the background....really got the feels going for sure.
Imagine naming your sun ship Icarus. Its just asking for this to happen
My buddy pointed that out at 10 min into the the movie ... he says 'The Icarus is a terrible name for a ship, I bet it is going to melt in the sun' .... lol
Honestly I would have named the followup Daedelus just to make sure that it didn't happen again.
I'd have named it Prometheus, he did after all steal the power of fire from the gods & gave it to man. Seemed fitting since they are effectively using that gift of fire to restart the sun
Never forget, the British sent two ships named the Erebus and the Terror into the artic circle to find the Northwest Passage in real life. Both were ice locked and the crew ate each other, as you would expect with those Ill omened names. Governments lack caution about these kinds of things.
I would named it escanor instead
*spoilers* one thing I really love about this movie is how 1: Mace is the undoubted hero of this piece. Literally everything he said and did was correct from the get-go. And 2: Mace's death is foreshadowed a couple of times. He is associated throughout the whole move with Cold, and Water. He spends his time on the earth room watching cold waves crush against a sea wall. And he is the only crew-member never seen in sunlight. He is always framed under the cold blue of the Icarus II. So his death being in harsh blue light freezing in cold water is very fitting.
Good points! 👍
I agree he was right but he definitely let his emotions get in the way in some moments. Mainly communicating with Kappa and trying to blame him for the deaths. Yes he made the decision but it was the only decision really, two payloads is better than one. I think Mace and Kappa were both equally the heros and they're acting was extraordinary in this film.
neat
Captain America has to get frozen in ice somehow.
@@ivanessa_schnitzel A movie for people with no understanding of physics, reality or even common sense! Just like the writers!
Only a budget of $40 million? This film is absolutely gorgeous. It looks better then movies that came out a decade later with budgets in the hundreds of millions.
$20 million according to Danny Boyle.
Doubt they spent the other 20 mil on ads. I found the movie on a free site when it was still fairly new.
ikr
So true. Well put 👍
A good production team is all you need. A team that doesn't cut corners in quality control
That scene on Icarus 1 where it's silent flashes the pictures of the old crew. That creeped me out so much and it was amazing.
Yeeesssss noone talks about this!
The flashes were really creepy. For a moment, I thought it was just me XD
The first flash was so quick it almost felt subliminal.
I thought my screen or the movie was broken for some reason when they entered the ship and saw a literal face in the screen. I was barely looking at my monitor because I was doing work while watching the movie but I caught the exact single frame at the right time and it spooked me out. Had to rewind the frames multiple times to confirm if i was just tripping or not but then it started to show multiple single shot frames of different people. Was very odd, but cool and probably a lot of people missed it.
@@sci-fyguy7767bruh I was so creeped out that I took a screenshot and started reverse image searching it 😂
I don't remember any marketing for this movie. Nor remember this being in theaters.
Same. I saw the movie on an website back in 08 when I was in college.
Didn't know it was supposed to a box office film, just thought it went straight to DVD.
Then I noticed that the trailer song was used for other movie trailers and that's when I figured that the movie was bigger than I thought it was
In terms of Marketing, yes, I did NOT see any of it myself... not via trailers or anything.
However, I DID watch it in theaters one time with some of my friends back in HS. We planned to watch a different movie but f-ed on the schedule and was no longer running. We saw the movie poster and said: meh, why not?
Good choice i might add haha
There was very little. I think it came out around when the movie the Core was out and that movie sucked ass.
I saw one commercial as a kid, the only reason I knew it existed.
Saw it in the cinema, but I remember it was a small hall.
When the oxygen garden burned, I cried with Michelle Yeoh in that scene.... It was heartbreaking, and she delivered well to convey the kind of loss it was.

@@tsnoob4669 it only takes little push like gravity to make person insane.
I honestly don’t think the film being bleak was its problem, but rather the hard turn the film makes from quiet and claustrophobic space sci-fi into the realm of a slasher film with an unstoppable skin monster.
Absolutely agree.
Yup kinda screwed it up
@@Janzer_ The slasher aspects of the movie were hallucinations, they weren't real
@@l3s803 even if that were the case (which we have no reason to assume), that means they still fucked up the execution of it, since no one followed along those lines while watching it.... it's a failure all the same
The 3rd act feels like it’s a complete different movie. Shockingly bad. Such a nose dive it’s crazy . Great film other than that
What a shame when people talk about Danny Boyle's movies, Sunshine is hardly ever mentioned. It's a shame, because this is one of the better, underrated Sci-Fi films out there. Alex Garland's script is terrific, John Murphy has a great score, Danny Boyle films it so well and all the actors deliver spectacular performances.
Thanks again, Niyat, for such a wonderful video.
Bc it's a horrible movie. Horrible reviews and ratings.
I respect your opinion, @@tsmk4262 , but if I may ask, have you have seen Sunshine?
@@caileanthomson1286 Interesting assumption/question. That didn't cross my mind however it should have. I forgot that people make passionate statements on topics they know nothing about. Stupid me assuming the person watched the movie. @@
Um, did you mean me or TS MK,@@augustusmcgovern6084?
@@caileanthomson1286 I was referring to the fact that many people comment on things they have not even experienced. I suppose a far fetched example is having an in depth conversation with a Roman Catholic priest about vaginal intercourse. Now if the conversation was about... lmao!
"At the end of time, a moment will come when just one man remains. Then the moment will pass. Man will be gone. There will be nothing to show that we were ever here... but stardust. The Last Man, alone with God. Am I that Man?"
Chilling
I know right!! this line dialogue gives goosebumps!
@@swimfly09 Right up there with "Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see," from Event Horizon. Both films make a good double bill actually.
Add Pandorum on there if one fancies a triptych.
@@TheBeird I haven't seen Event Horizon. Just searched for it.. As you have told me know, I will definitely watch it this weekend! I love Sunshine kind of films, I feel such movies opens up my mind to think more about our existence.
@@swimfly09 Tis the true purpose of storytelling, no? Hope you enjoy EH, and that you got a strong stomach
This is why the ending was good
One of my fav films. If only the 3rd act had been more scifi and less slasher flick then it could have been the best space films of all time.
Totally agree.
Yah, even though the slasher part was a hallucination in their brains trying to make sense of their impending death, it was very misleading and felt out of place, bringing down the impact of the movie
The 3rd act was quite genius and well-executed. Calling it a "slasher flick" is intentionally inaccurate.
@@drago939393 You are spot on! I am sick of people saying Sunshine turns into a "slasher". The story makes it clear the psychological effect that the mission has on people and it personifies man's god-complex. Definitely not expected, but amazing nonetheless.
@@Blake101247 Extra crispy ass Pibacker was real. His being a hallucination is just an Internet fan theory ripped from the anus, like a Law & Order episode.
I love this film, especially because of the solar shield design featured on the ships
Yup I was glad that it wasn't just another generic looking "spaceship"
The look like eyes
Saw this movie twice in theaters and bought it as soon as it dropped on dvd. Wonderful film, one of the best sci-fi films.
I will never forget the part when they get a signal from another ship, goosebumps...
Easily one of the greatest and most underrated gems of sci-fi and thriller mixed together. Such an emotional and a beautiful moving movie. I always hoped Danny Boyle revisited this universe so much depth to it and untold stories. 10/10 absolute masterpiece.
The Sun itself is one of the main characters in the movie. It's not only the main goal/ purpose/ target/ destination of the main characters. With scenes like that, when they stare at it, when its burning them, when it kills them, when it's so loud (as in the beginning of this video), it itself shows traits and affects the rest of the crew and the journey. It's not only the background, the mentioned thing, the motive, the thing the screenplayer had to come up with so the rest have a purpose to be there - it actually takes part in the story.
This film is so strange, it’s just on the verge of being a masterpiece
and that verge was the end of the second act
@@notimportant3686 ive watched it many years ago and returned to it knowing what to expect. Knowing that the movie takes a slasher kind of turn in the end was crucial for finally enjoying the whole thing. The expectations ruined it the first time I saw it it.
Uh no.... There are so many holes in this movie. Its definitely made for slow Millennials and is no where near a masterpiece.
@@TickleFingers what holes were there?
@@ceapy Just about NOTHING in this movie would have ever taken place and it causes the believability to plummet. There would never have been a deviation from the set course. One person wouldn't be up all night implementing a course change without it being triple checked and implemented by the entire crew and authorized by the Captain. The ship didn't need to be turned to the extent that it was and was apparent since there was enough shielding provided at less of an angle once it began to turn back. "I'm going to give them as much shade as possible" 🤦🏻♂️. Also, the communications array was the only thing that they thought would be damaged and they "forgot" about the oxygen farm, the most important thing on the ship mind you, and the fact that it would also no longer be shielded in it's rotation 🥴 Herrrr Derp! Then, the entire ship has to be undocked to dock with the other ship 🥴. NO! They would have a shuttle, but that wouldn't work for the plot twist because then they would have seen pepperoni man on board a small shuttle with them. And the ship only has one air lock....🤦🏻♂️🥴, Yeah NO! Strange how when the "bomb" was detached from the ship there was another airlock at the front 🤦🏻♂️🥴🥴🥴🥴! Herrrr Derp! And then somehow pepperoni man has super strength and can't be killed🤦🏻♂️. Was it the magical sun that fried him up and gave him super strength 🤣. And was it meant that home-slice psychologist was on his way to being pepperoni man #2, but got bested by pepperoni man #1 🤣 (so F-ing stupid)? If the entire human race hangs in the balance, none of this would take place. The lives of 8 people are expendable for the lives of billions and a bunch of millennial types would not be running around playing ship for such an important task. This movie is horrible, unbelievable and is not even close to a masterpiece as some claim. The visuals are amazing, but the plot seems like it was written by some board highschool dropout trying to make some money.
I came across this movie while searching for something to fill as background noise while I study for a test. Found myself with the laptop closed and completely enthralled in the film. Now instead studying on my laptop I am looking up youtube videos on this awesome movie.I am a big fan of 28 Days later so no wonder I really liked this flick.
*Sunshine* was one of those movies that were waaay ahead of their time!
Sunshine is one of my favorite sci-fi films. Very underrated film.
more underrated than event horizon?
@@andykapsar4667 Equally underrated, but Event Horizon is more sci-fi horror where as Sunshine is a Sunshine thriller film.
Snow piercer was better
@@chaikagaz nah
@@josuegarduno7154 yeah
Long time ago, while visiting my uncle and aunt along with my family, I knew we could borrow dvds movies and I went upstairs to look for something to borrow, I stumbled upon a beautiful cover with the sun dominating the cover named "Sunshine" because I had strict sleep routine due to school, I watched it the day after and I was awestruck and completely captivated by the movie. Now give or take 10 years after I've seen the movie, it remains one of my favourites movies and will remain for the rest of my life.
*Underrated* movie alert!
Film&Comics explained doing the master Work again! :)
*the fountain* next?
Adding it to the list now, thanks :)
@@filmcomicsexplained anytime!
Great uploads, I love to watch each of them :)
The DORUK EXCELLENT movie! I own it and it is an esoteric masterpiece.
What master work ? He just made a summary of the movie ... That's "master work" ?
HERE COMES THE SUN, DO DO DO DO
Must be summer sun
I feel that ice is slowly melting...
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Little Darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Why
This is actually one of my favorite movies.. Between the soundtrack, the breathtaking cinematography, and the bleak tone all resonate very well with me. Thanks so much for the summary!
that score when theyre blasting out of the airlock tho!
@Brandon Piperjack "pique", piperjacque...
A ray of sunshine in a genre that's utterly becoming dark.
You don't even mention the most fantastic part of this film. When the bomb is detonated at the end, A wall of superheated plasma rushes toward him and then stops for a few seconds, allowing him to touch the plasma and see the "face of god". Not burned to a crisp or vaporized immediately. This is truly a spiritual event.
This is one of the best scifi movies of all time thanks to the complexity and richness of all the symbolism/philosophy/ethics underpinning all the characters.
It's such a shame it's dismissed often for it's third act.
The only thing about this movie that has stayed with me over the past 13 years has been this: Adagio in D Minor by John Murphy. It's life and death, hope and doom, triumph and tragedy, all captured together in a single piece of music.
The ending is the best part of this entire movie, Killian Murphy kills it
Him and Chris Elevated this movie from trash to good.
Wow, I'm so happy I came across your video!!!! Thank you! I love this movie, it’s hipnotyzing just like the Sun itself... I love the characters, I don't see acting but I see real people - irritated, frightened, tired, upset... I love all of them in this movie. Thank to all who created it, they gave us so much of emotions, beauty, ohhh I have no words!!!!!
I love this movie. Actually get goosebumps.
that score when theyre blasting out of the airlock tho!
You have shit taste in movies
@@chaikagaz Are you watching this video just to troll in the comment section? Lol. What are some of your favorite sci fi movies that you would consider underrated?
@@anthonyfuller9933 His favorite movies are Birdemic, Sharknado, Samurai Cop etc. His Sci fi movies are all and only from Neil Breen's collection.
This movie is so underrated. Nobody I know even knows about this movie.
And the SOUNDTRACK IS AMAZING!
7:28 It wasn't until the third time seeing the film until I noticed the depiction of Icarus on the shield of Icarus II. Glad to see the easter egg was included.
Honestly I’ve watched this review 10+ times because it’s nice to find someone who has as positive a view on this film as me, this has been and is still my favourite film after years.
When Capa talks to the ship about their chances of survival, I was terrified when she told Capa that there was a 5th person onboard, combined with the creepy 1 frame shot of an unknown being which had spooked me earlier already when they board Icarus 1
I saw this movie in theaters when it came out, it was so good, and nobody saw it, such a underrated film.
I love Alex Garland's writing, and Boyle is just the icing on the cake. 28 Days Later is one of my most favourite films
Absolutely one of the most under-rated movies of all time. Amazing how poor the reviews are and yet for a sci fi movie fan like myself, it is an amazing and gorgeous movie.
The shot of Corazon's near collapse in front of the oxygen garden inferno is mezmerizing and in my opinion the perfect analog to the plot.
“We Are All Just Stardust. >:•D”-Pinbacker
Every now and again I stand still and ponder how insane it is that the sun is burning me from over 150 million km away.
It's easy to see why people worshipped it in times past
Every summer I go through the same mental trip
So in the future
Scarecrow,Captain America,Wong,Agent Mctaggert,Zi Yuan and Dr.Sivana teamed up to re-ignite the sun huh
Damn Zi Yuan made it all the way to 2057
BlaccRainbow damn it is scarecrow, almost didn’t recognize him
Well u forgot Travis Manawa and Musashi
@@ByFurah looks like we know what travis did after escaping the zombies
Beg your pardon, you mean Thomas focking Shelby
Now we know how Cap was frozen
This movie simply has something about it,that made me watch it at least 10 times in my life already,it is beautiful,peaceful,and very entertaining for space enthusiasts !!!
Absolutely one of the best science fiction movies ever made.
I fell absolutely in love with this film, and I believe it will be a cult classic in the coming years. Pure magic filmmaking!
A sci-Fi classic for sure plays well acted cast contrasts and conflicts well and the sound track, rewatchable.
Very underrated movie. I never get tired of watching it.
God I spent years trying to remember what the movie was. Somehow convinced myself it was something about a journey to Mars, which further complicated my searches. Thank you for popping up in my recommendations randomly
Only movie that caused me to sleep with the lights on that I’ve watched multiple times. It still unnerves me to the core but I love it!
Hiroyuki Sanada is one of my favorite actors ever, period :)
Spectacular film! I watched it in an almost empty London cinema on release; an unforgettable experience. I was there for the soundtrack 'Underworld' collab, too. The visuals are still fantastic and have a realism to them, not found in many CGI fests today. The 3rd act doesn't bother me particularly. I kind of like the Pinbacker trying to stop humanity playing God, aspect. If Danny B had tried to pull off a '2001', the film might have ended with a flaccid sputter. Anyway, thanks for your dive into this essential sci-fi film
It just hit me that Chris Evans has discretely taken several roles in smaller, less comercial but very interesting sci-fi movies. And now I like the guy even more.
When i´ve got my big fat projector screen, this one will be one of the first i´ll rewatch.
It is visually compelling, and simply a good film.
I watched this on my mother's fiftieth birthday after me and my sister were dropped off at home so the adults could go to the bar. I thought this was a wierd fever dream from a combination of watching it at three am and no one else I know watching it. I completely forgot how great the cast was
Too bad some great movies like this one don't get any recognition or success.
thats because this movie is shit. it looks good, that's about it
@@Nefville lol
Such a gem, saw it today...alex garland is such an underrated writer...not to mention his directorial Ex MAchina and Annihilation...Danny boyle did fantastically...Nolan vibes ngl...Shocking how not much is talked about this movie...
I love how the guy just has on aviator sunglasses to protect him from the sun that close 😂
He's not protecting himself. His skin begins to peel and the ship's AI prevents him from viewing the sun at a greater brightness.
I love this movie! Totally underrated.
I love scifi like this. Any science fiction that discusses something new and tackles new concepts with new tech and new ideas is something I love to devour and lose myself in. I really need to give this film a watch.
Surprised you didn't further detail the boarding scene. Just an immaculate, haunting scene, probably the best in the film.
Fantastic film and a feeling of isolation when watching. Soundtrack is probably what made me rethink all music in films. Story of self sacrifice.
I envy the people who got to see this movie in a theater.
It was one of those moments when you go and see a gem and realise it ... I have only had that feeling when going to see the Matrix too.
This is a hugely underrated movie. This movie and “The Fountain were amazing movies at that time
This movie is seriously in my top 3 favorite movies at all time. This is amazing, but I also recommend watching the "Movies with Mikey" about it too. You both do justice to this really underrated movie.
I watch it like 5 time. Maybe more
The spaceship is beautiful, the sun shield is gorgeous, the garden is perfect and the Sun is magnificent.
Thank you for making this video, I love this movie! And it's got such great actors (Murphy, Sanada, Yeoh, Strong... but really, everony was fantastic and it's great to see C. Evans in one of his early roles). And then there's the visuals, and the music! I am always happy to see this film get some recognition!
The music is transcending. I was just staring at the sun and it was a bad idea. even with sunglasses
Oh hell yes, so unexpected but I am so glad you covered this.
Such an underrated film.
I remember seeing SUNSHINE when i was 14 years old a dam badass movie so beautiful amazing and yet highly underrated af one of my favorite movies and as for FilmComicsExplained love your content keep the videos coming
This scene:- "At the end of time, a moment will come, when just one man remains. And the moment will pass. Then man will be gone. There will be nothing to show we were ever here... but stardust. The last man, alone with god. Am I that man?"
Loved this film, sound track is amazing too.
i still dont understand how that one dude became some kind of sun zombie on the abandoned ship but besides that its a cool movie
just now, i've been watched this movie and it was amazing. i feel theres a glimpse when the screen catch a flash from flashlight like foreshadowing someone when Mace, Capa, Harvey, and Searle boarding in ICARUS-1. i'm glad i found this masterpiece
Linkin Park - “Leave Out All the Rest”
That's it
I was searching in the comment section for a linkin park comment thank you
@@JoaoPereira-vk8si you're in luck, because I didn't see anyone else does it.
Art makes you think, this film makes me think. I also find it haunting, you dont forget this story. Love it.
This was probably one of my top five favorite sci-fi films ever, absolute killer plot with perfectly blends the typical technical science aspect with the horror sub plot perfectly, its got great acting, cinematography, visual effects, sound track, blows me away that this movie doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
I’m convinced Icarus’ ship design was taken from a Star Wars novel, Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire. There was a planet the characters visited that was super close to its star and they had a ship like Icarus with a massive shield to escort smaller ships to the planet. If you see the way they rendered it in the comic adaptation (issue 2) you’d swear they almost pulled it right off the page.
One of the best movies I ever saw. From the coloration to the soundtrack crafted with a lot of love for details
Thanks for that. This is a highly underrated film and I think more people should be talking about it.
One of my favorite movies, I think it's super underrated. It's almost Lovecraftian in that the characters go up against a force so epic and unstoppable and so much bigger than them, it drives some of them insane. One of the best depictions of a force like that in cinematography imo.
This was a pretty good sci-fi movie and I've always wondered why this film never got any awards for it's Visual effects.
Bc critics hated it and so did viewers lol
this is genuinely my favorite sci-fi film, i adore how captivating every scene is
Alex Garland is one of the greats today! He doesn’t get enough love like Nolan, Tarantino, Ect.
Garland is closer to Denis Villaneuve and Alfonso Cuaron IMO.
Garland is a good writer, and a bad director. He needs to team with Danny Boyle to make great things. Everything he makes without Boyle is shit.
That Adagio In D Minor score gets me every time. 🥺😢😭
The Last Message/A Particularly Beautiful Day.
The little serene melody that plays at the start when Searle is looking at the Sun
Such an underrated movie for sure. Glad you made a video on it, definitely right up your alley, and you did a great job on it!
Thanks for doing a vid on one of my favorite underrated films.
One of my all time favourites
Thanks for making this video.
You summed this movie up perfectly!
Never ceases to amaze me how well your videos are. Keep up the great work
Incredible cast. Alex Garland and Boyle are treasurers.
I loved this movie. The soundtrack was great too. I had never even heard of it either until a few weeks ago when it popped up on my hbo app.
There are very few movies I can watch more than once. This is one of the few. It's truly an exceptional film.
I'm glad you're finally tackling Sunshine. I, too, made a video on this film awhile back but instead, did so on the villain specifically.
Such a great, underrated movie and as always a deep and fantastic review of it as well
Man I love this movie, very underrated thanks for covering it.
Yooo I've been looking for this movie for years! You are doing the Lord's work man. I need to start watching this channel again
I don't know how I found this channel, but I keep coming back for more, whether it be viruses or explanations of movies (that I've usually already seen and understood)
I ask if you've seen 'Train to Busan'? Fantastic film and could work for an explanation + virus video combo.
Thank you :)
This movie's soundtrack is too damn great.
100% within my top 3 favorite movies. Visuals, interesting story (despite the goofy antagonist which was interesting/unique and decently explained in and of itself), and especially the acting. What a fantastic movie.
Searle: Kaneda. What do you see?
