In the movie 'Sunshine', the sun is dying out, and humanity is threatened by eternal darkness. A multinational team of scientists and astronauts embark on a perilous mission to reignite the fading sun.
Despite underperforming at the box office, the film has been praised for its visual effects, score, and its exploration of philosophical and psychological themes.
Danny Boyle films a sun-restart mission as the genre's last classical voyage. The descent into the corona is the film's argument: sci-fi as theology.
