Watching it for the first time just I watched Prometheus a week ago and kinda liked it.

And so far I'm liking it but, damn, sending your whole crew down to an UNKNOWN PLANET with not protective equipment? Like wtf, just cuz the atmosphere is breathable doesn't mean there won't be, I dunno, SOME WEIRD ALIEN DISEASE??? As well as several other potentially deadly things, like idk psychic plants or aliens that say hello by ripping your genitals off.

Do characters in SciFi stories ever read SciFi? Come on this is like 101 shit bro.

One of the possible characteristics of a good horror movie is that every character makes the correct decision given the information they have at the time and still perish because the scope of the danger is simply beyond them.

It was rough around the edges, but I think the movie Sunshine pulled that off for the most part. Even the critical error on the way there truly was an accident that crushed the morale of the crew member that did it because he really was otherwise competent and trying his best.

Good job making sunlight terrifying and darkness comforting, too. I didn't see that thematic twist again until FFXIV Shadowbringers.

good reference. I loved Sunshine, but whenever I tell people to watch it and call it science fiction, they insist on knowing the single sentence premise and I can't seem to do it in a way that doesn't sound hackey, so nobody ever watches it.
