Sunshine Blu-ray20th Century Fox | 2007 | 107 mins | Rated R | Jan 08, 2008
Sunshine(2007)Adventure | Sci-Fi | Thriller ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is the year 2057, the sun is dying and mankind faces extinction. Earth's last hope rests with a courageous crew of eight men and women on a mission to ignite the fading star with a massive nuclear weapon. Deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission begins to unravel and they find themselves fighting not only for their lives, but for the future of us all. For more details about Sunshine on Blu-ray, see the Sunshine Blu-ray Review Starring: Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Rose Byrne, Michelle Yeoh, Hiroyuki Sanada Director: Danny Boyle Sunshine Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Sunshine is presented on Blu-ray in 1080p high definition in its theatrical aspect ratio or 2.39:1. For the most part, this a splendid image that handles the contrasting looks of the film wonderfully. Most interior shots are drab with blues and grays the predominant hues. Exterior shots, or shots with the sun in the foreground, offer a striking and at times jolting jump in contrast and saturation of color on the screen. This style is used to great effect throughout. It is sometimes startling to the viewer, and it only adds to the surreal feel of the movie. The detail in the image is simply stunning. From the shots of the ship flying over Mercury to the definition of the character's faces and their surroundings, everything about this transfer says high definition. There is a little bit of grain here and there, but it's natural and consistent. As an outer space movie, black levels are crucial to a good presentation, and for the most part they are dead on accurate. Early on in the film they seemed too bright, but after a short while this issue goes away. That was the only discernible flaw I noted throughout the length of the movie. Needless to say, this fine transfer is wholly immersive and sucks the viewer right into the middle of the story. Sunshine Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Fox, as per their norm, presents Sunshine with a DTS-HD MA high definition soundtrack. At the present time, I am only able to decode the "core" DTS track running at 1.5Mbps through my Playstation 3. Simply put, this is a remarkable track. It's very loud but never completely overpowering. Dynamics are spot on and nothing ever gets lost in the mix. This is an aggressive, bass heavy soundtrack that is hard hitting from beginning to end. It's loud and powerful but it always remains clean and never distorted. Minute details are also heard throughout with lifelike realism and clarity from the signals of space to the movement of foliage in the greenhouse onboard the ship. Dialogue is clear and intelligible, sounding as natural as if you were on the set. Surrounds are continuously active throughout creating a 360 degree sound field that is almost scary in its immersion. Music is an important factor in this soundtrack, and it sounds wonderfully reproduced with each note striking at the heart of the viewer as it is perfectly tied to the enthralling story line. This is a top notch soundtrack that delivers the goods. Sunshine Blu-ray, Forum Discussions
