Danny Boyle is great with art, we get that. Slumdog, 28 Days, etc etc.
However, Sunshine was a bit TOO much of everything he's good at.
The overwraught drama of the weight of the many outweighing the needs of the few, the distraught looks between crew members of the ill-fated spaceship in this drama/sci-fi...oy.
I feel like maybe in his head somewhere, Boyle may have had about 20-30 minutes at the beginning of this movie, maybe where the crew members actually interact without dramatics so we get to understand their relationship, their role, but instead we go right into the drama.
The twist at the end (and no i won't spoil it) is overdone with dramatic camera work to the point I had to keep rewinding the movie because I couldn't tell what just happened.
I know Boyle has done better, and he obviously didn't phone this one in, but I definitely expected better.
