I dare you to watch the trailer and not burst out laughing. Here's the premise: 50 years in the future the sun dies, and we send a group of astronauts who somehow get close enough to the sun to blow up a bomb inside of it. So its like armageddon, only instead of an asteroid (an actually believable idea)...its the sun! Any half-retarted person on the street knows that the sun physically cannot burn out for billions of years, and the mere premise of it exploding in 50 years is almost as ludacris as thinking that:
a) you could get close enough to the sun to enter its core
b) a man made nuke will actually restart the sun's fusion process.
c) anybody will be stupid enough to actually want to see this movie.

...I thought we had reached bottom with "The Core", but Danny Boyle has proved me wrong. Ladies and Gentlemen, this just might be the stupidest idea for a movie...ever.

I have two thoughts about this post....

1) Banshee was drunk when he made it.

2) The movie is a joke it's an Armageddon rip off, and I did indeed laugh at the beginning of the trailer. Also the Requiem theme song is ridiculous.

Motherf*cker you made me watch that god damn k-fed ad hadent seen it and dint want to see it , now it's too late ive got to go pierce my eyes with a drill , Motherf*cker.

Well ive always beeen a big fan of Danny Boyle (havent seen Millions yet dho) and i think you guys are being a bit hard on this film. I do agree it's a stupid idea but unlike Armeggeddon an The core I think this movie wil be quite something it looks really well made and greatly cast

1) Banshee was drunk when he made it.

ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! Captain + Coke= Cure for the common cold.

This looks so horrible that they tried to use the Requiem theme to pull it from the depths of its sh*ttiness.

The premise is laughable, and judging from the trailer, so is the movie.

yeah, the trailer is just trying to be all super dramatic with the requiem score, its really funny cus if you look closly half of the shots are stolen from 2001.

I'll still see it.

But...but Danny Boyle rocks my socks off. Say it ain't so!

idk, aren't those types of movies all equally lame? if it gets as bad as Armageddon, i can't differentiate between further levels of suckiness.

Satan, i LOVE. love love love love love your taste in both your avatar and signature. Kurosawa is GOD. I just watched Ran, Sanjuro, and Yojimbo last week.

By the way, I loved Armageddon.

Armageddon is a nice guilty pleasure. It had really fun characters, a great score by trevor rabin, and the idea itself was certainly more realistic than the premise of sunshine. The reason Armageddon gets knocked so much is because after the land on the asteroid the makers just seem to ignore every scientific law imaginable.

And because like every Michael Bay film, the good ol' US of A gets to save the planet.

Or maybe because it's pretentious pandering sh*t.

hey, they had a russian.

I believe the presence of Peter Stormare automatically makes a movie worth seeing.

Who else is gonna do it? Canada? Please....:biggrin:

Im glad i live in the Holy Roman Empire.

Bahhaha. Canada would call us if anything serious was threatening them. Oh and God forbid a man have national pride.

Need I remind you the US has never won a war where Canada didn't help them. not to mention the one time we fought each other, Canada burned down the White House.
