Re-watched Sunshine because of this thread, I haven't seen it in years. Its still very very good. Neat bit of imagery I caught this time around, during the spacewalk scene when Kaneda and Capa repair the shielding, and the oxygen garden is incinerated, right as Kaneda gets caught in the sunlight and killed, the glass in the oxygen garden shatters and a wall of ash spills out and Corazon runs away from it. Ties back nicely to Searle talking about the differences in being surrounded by darkness in a sensory deprevation tank, and being enveloped in light in the viewing deck. Soundtrack is still brilliant too. Listening to the music duing the Passage of Mercury scene, there is definately some inspiration from that track in Jois theme in Bladerunner 2049.

James Gunn has outright said Farscape was a big inspiration. It's why he gave Ben Browder (Crichton's actor) a small role in Guardians 2.

Wow, I was wondering what Michael Crichton had to do with whatever this is and after googling, realized you’re talking about a different Crichton

I watched Arctic today and according to Reddit when Mads Mikkelson’s character is writing a note to tell any potential rescue crew where he and the woman in a coma have gone he writes down the wring info from her ID (I had assumed that she was Inuit but I guess she was Thai?), meaning his note reads “H. Overgard and DRIVER’S LICENSE have gone to the Seasonal Station”. Also realized that all the notes he left led to the helicopter crew finding them in the end

If you like Space Madness, Europa Report and Pandorum do it well. Unlike Sunshine, though, no sun zombies .

I mean it's dropped in pretty early on that the Sun can kind of overwhelm people with its power and that it seems to get some people kind of off-balance. Searle the psychologist isn't doing great throughout the movie. There's a tone shift for sure but I like it. In particular I enjoy the effect where the baddie seems to distort the film and won't show up properly in frame, like when the sun spikes in your eyes and you have to squint. It's good actually.

I watched it for the first time the other day because of this thread! Searle's "What do you SEE??" was a nice that all is super not well while also being legit surprising that he stayed behind to help rather than going full bonko

Searle the psychologist isn't doing great throughout the movie. There's a tone shift for sure but I like it. The whole build up in the last quarter of the movie, with Capa having to actually live his nightmare by leaping at the sun, chasing Pinbacker in the payload and then running away from him as the movie just gets more and more distorted, and with very frantic camera work as his whole world becomes a nightmare, and then it just ends with this short moment of peace with Capa caught between the singularity of the payload exploding and the surface of the sun. And the shot just kinda lingers for a few moments, and is very still and calm, especially compared to the last few minutes. Its just an amazing sequence.

There's actually a subtle movie moment in there. Ruby spends the entire Mangalore attack in abject terror, then at the end he signs off and quietly says to himself, "That was the best show I ever did". And it's true, because while he was terrified the whole time, he never once stopped reporting on the action. The narcissistic clothes horse stepped up to the plate and became a war correspondent. And after that, he becomes a lot less obnoxious and more genuine.

Least subtle film in all of Christendom, but in Crank 2 there's a flashback where a young Chev Chelios is being interviewed on a Jerry Springer type program called "The Luke Canard Show", which in fairly sure is supposed to sound like a geezer saying "the lookin ard show".
