sorry if this is a repost - the damn search function won;t work for me...

i blagged a press screening of this last week, and i can tell you it's damn amazing.

without a doubt... DO NOT see this on some crappy small screen...You need the scale of it. The production values are something else...But it's not some 'empty' blockbuster like half the crap out there..
It's definitely not another disaster movie..Much more in line with Alien etc...Classy as hell. Some seriously thought provoking stuff, not so much the science (although that is interesting), but more the human interaction stuff.

I am a big danny boyle supporter, although i wasn't a massive fan of the ending of 28DL..i still rate it highly as a film...Some of the set pieces (particularly the intro sequence in London and the tower block chase) were incredible...

As with sunshine, the thought-provoking stuff was actually quite early on. A lot of the same themes of claustrophobia and harsh-moral-decision-for-the-greater-good are present in both sunshine & 28DL

I mean ask yourself...Could you kill a loved one to save the rest of mankind? (that's the sort of thing the crew in sunshine face)

It's a simple, but genuinely intriguing moral dilemma...and the film's full of them

trust me - you have to see this one

That does sound interesting. I hadn't even heard of it--a lot of interesting movies get no play where I live. I'll have to look into that.

I'm more inclined to accept it because the poster seems to be hanging around rather than doing a driveby, but it looks awful shitty to post a cut and paste post for your first post.

Is blagging liked blogging but specifically with bragging and blather thrown in?

Rather conscientious for a spammer. If it's science fiction, I'll go see it. I enjoyed Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, so it's probably a must-see. Judging from the trailer though, I'd guess everyone on the ship enjoys a fiery death when they realize they have to crash it into the sun to save the world.

The area of greenery in the ship reminded me of Silent Running.

Don't sweat the harassment, WMWN. Everyone gets a hard time here at first. If you stick around for a while and post interesting things--well, you'll still be harassed, but it'll *feel* different.
