Me too, actually. I have a hit or miss relationship with Danny Boyle: loved Shallow Grave, tolerated Trainspotting, hated Millions, didn't even bother to see 28 Days Later.
Yes, Sunshine has some serious flaws--I didn't think the characters were mentally retarded, but the movie contained an overabundance of convenient "inconveniences," and, yes, that final third of the film contains a development that is pretty dire.
Nevertheless, I sat rapt throughout the film--the visuals here are astonishing, with one breathtaking composition after another--sooo deserving of an Oscar nomination, but I bet it won't happen. And the music is exquisite, which is why I'm shocked that the score is not available on CD. What the hell?
