Cast/Crew:
Directed by Danny Boyle
Written by Alex Garland
Starring Rose Byrne, Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh, Hiroyuki Sanada, Chris Evans, Cliff Curtis, Troy Garity, Benedict Wong
Synopsis:
Fifty years into the future, the sun is failing, causing the Earth to freeze. A spacecraft, the Icarus II with a crew of eight men and women is launched as a last hope,[2] carrying a stellar bomb with the mass of Manhattan in order to re-ignite the sun. Seven years prior, a similar ship, the Icarus had been launched for the same mission, but contact was lost.[3] When the crew of eight move toward the sun and out of radio contact with Earth, they discover the distress beacon of the ship that had been missing for seven years. After an informed decision (precided over by Capa (Cillian Murphy), the physicist who controls the bomb), the crew decides that it is best to rendezvous with the stricken vessel to attempt repairs in order to give themselves another bomb, and another chance at succeeding in their mission, should their bomb not have the desired effect.
Anyone else seen this film yet? I saw it last night and the visuals and music worked so great together it was amazing. There's a few flaws in the film regarding some plot holes (don't really want to give anything away) but its such a visually impressive film you have to see it. I think ill go to the cinema and see it again because its something that just needs to be seen on a big screen. I don't think you'd be as immersed in the experience on a TV screen. If you liked Event Horizon, Alien, Solaris and 2001 then I think you'll love this film.
