So if you wake up one morning, and it's a particularly beautiful day, you'll know we made it.

'Sunshine' is an exquisitely mounted sci-fi melodrama permeated by deep space horror that blossoms into an exhilarating space odyssey. Humanity's final stand against a frigid extinction from a dying sun strapped to the back of an interstellar bomb built from Earth's only remaining fission materials, manned by a crew that struggles against the weight of their own miniscule mortality in the face…
