+1 There's no "sci" in Sunshine's sci-fi. That was massively distracting and not something that could've been saved by the pretty visuals.

- Joeboy 9y agoI'm not 100% sure it was intended, but to me it's in the category of "films that contain dizzying genre shifts". Other examples would be From Dusk Till Dawn or Kill List. I actually really enjoy this trope, I think the fact it starts off looking like "conventional" sci-fi and then goes somewhere unexpected is a plus-point (although maybe not for people who really like sci-fi).
- Udik 9y agoIt didn't seem to be intended or self-conscious in any way, instead it seemed to take itself very seriously: there wasn't an ounce of sense of humour in it. While "From dusk till dawn" is obviously a humorous genre cross-over. I haven't seen Kill list but Ben Wheatley is an interesting director with a passion for the grotesque- his Sightseers and Down Terrace are pretty funny.
