UK

Concept:

   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.

Pros:

• A serious take on a popular concept done in films
• The music, the lighting effects and dialogue are all well done
• I have never seen a film, where it has made me the feel the sun as a actual physical thing
• A must see for science fiction geeks

Cons:

• HAS THE WORST PLOT TWIST ENDING EVER-it almost ruins the whole film, but the beginning was so good, that the film is still worth seeing

My Thoughts:

      

    I saw this film on HBO one night, when I couldn't sleep and it blew my mind. It was almost everything, I could have ever wanted in a scfi film. A powerful score, visual effects that made my TV shine like the sun, characters that I cared about, and dialogue that didn't make me wanna put my hair out. Then the ending happen, it was like someone came in my room and shot me in the heart. I don't want to focus on the ending cause this film has so much going for it but the ending twist is the worst thing that I have seen happen to a good film, in a long time. 

What did you think of the trailer?

Can you think of a good film that has the worst ending ever?

Extra

The soundtrack for this film is so awesome and has been used in a few trailers, that I wanted to leave a track here for people to hear.
