Shining Light on Sunshine

I was lucky enough to see Danny Boyle's Sunshine last night -- and it might just be the most visually stunning piece of cinema I've ever seen. Plus I got to see it at Fox's screening room with top-notch digital projection. Wow, I sat with my mouth open most of the time. Don't know about my overall judgments on the film yet, need to let the story settle in for a few days (and it's hard for me to take Cillian Murphy too seriously). I think I was expecting some low-key British sci-fi with spaceship interiors, but man the effects and design of Sunshine are incredible. It feels huge but also idiosyncratic, and you can see the kind of energy he brought to 28 Days Later. There are a bunch of Sunshine trailers on various websites and if you go to You Tube you can see the US and UK versions. I quite like this US version.

And I'll leave you with that while I get packed for Hong Kong Filmart!
