Plot:
You've NEVER SEEN anything like SUNSHINE, the stunningly ORIGINAL SCI-FI ACTION-ADVENTURE from groundbreaking DIRECTOR DANNY BOYLE (28 Days Later).

It is the year 2057, the sun is dying and mankind faces extinction. Earth's last hope rests with a courageous crew of eight men and women on a mission to ignite the fading star with a massive nuclear weapon. Deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission begins to unravel and they find themselves fighting not only for their lives, but for the future of us all. With twists and turns you won't see coming, this pulse-pounding journey to the sun is a nonstop thrill ride.

I normally love a good natural disaster type movie. But this one not so much. Don't get me wrong... it isn't a bad movie. But it is my least favorite to memory at this time. I just found I didn't care much for any of the characters. I also felt that the story... especially in the beginning... moved a bit on the slow side. And it probably didn't help much that I wasn't really familiar with any of the cast other then Chris Evans. Though I do admit... I probably should give this one another chance as I didn't give it all the attention it deserved. It wasn't long into it before I found myself playing solitaire on the computer while watching it. But at the very least I got the main jist of the movie.

My Thoughts:
This is one of the movies in the Mortuary of Madness boxset. So that alone tells me not to go in there with much expectations. I am so sorry I watched this movie. I swear I should have just went by Jimmy's review of this one and not bothered! But no.. not me... I have to see it for myself. It is like they attempted to rip off Texas Chainsaw Massacre... but without any real story to what they showed! I mean it makes no sense! If there is any saving grace for this movie it would have to be that it is less then an hour long. But even at 54 minutes... it is 54 minutes too long! And I this movie must have more swearing in it's short time then I have ever heard in a single movie before.

Death Note anime/manga/movies comparison, a review by Tom

05. Tactics. Naomi had followed Raye (who by the way is made a Japanese instead of an American) on the train, because she was suspecting that something is happening when he was called away. She witnesses his death and runs up to him. Light sees her there.
