Once again, science = totally cool beans
Jan. 18th, 2008 04:59 pmSo I watched Sunshine last night, and, eh, it was okay. I know several people whose opinions I respect really liked it, so I guess there was just something there that didn't reach me. But it wasn't fantastic enough to get Danny Boyle off of my shit list (I'm very angry about the end of 28 Days Later).
However, after watching it I checked out the DVD extras, and one of them was a commentary by the physicist who was the scientific advisor for the film. I listened to a few minutes of it, and it was kind of nifty. I didn't want to wait to return it to Netflix, so I didn't rewatch the entire movie, but I'd recommend giving it a listen. For one thing, I got to hear an almost plausible (I'm assuming - I left my astrophysics doctorate in my other jacket) theory on what could cause the sun to die in fifty years and why throwing a really big bomb at it would be a solution.
