9. ‘Sunshine’
For the most part, Danny Boyle’s Sunshine is a solid thinker of science fiction. The story follows a team of people who are on a suicide mission to restart the Sun with a nuclear bomb. After a series of perfectly executed bad decisions and dread-inducing twists of fate, the science fiction film goes totally off the rails when there’s suddenly a homicidal maniac tearing through half the crew. It might make the final moments of the film a little more tense, but it also feels like a cop out that partially betrays Boyle’s existential drama leading up to that point.
