Standard "new to the board" greetings from a US Sci-Fi fan... ("Dark" and "Dystopian" Sci-fi ONLY -- not into Science Fantasy). At any rate, I am very excited about Sunshine, and am eager to see a decent new sci-fi movie (the likes of which I haven't witnessed since Soderbergh's Solaris). To all who have seen Sunshine, LUCKY YOU!!!!!! BG7

A HUGE welcome to you, BG7! Thanks for joining! Just beware of the obsessive fangirls (me included) around here...

Thanks for the welcome, glad to be here, and you just snagged a karma point for your hospitality (something that is missing from most sci-fi boards I've been to). I'm impatiently counting the days until Friday the 20th. It seems so far off... My only hope is that they don't push back the release date!!!

Here's to you bunkergate7! Welcome to the boards and hope you'd enjoy the movie when you do get to see it. Thanks, Nimue. I'm certain I'll like it. It's directed by Danny Boyle; it pays homage to a few of my favorite sci-fi films; the spaceship design seems somewhat rooted in near-future astrophysical capabilities; Cillian Murphy is extremely talented; Rose Byrne was the bright spot of "28 Weeks Later"...I could go on. I can't wait to see all of this wholesome goodness together!

Where do you live? p.s. thanks for the lightyear ;D In a VERY metropolitan area of Virginia. I had read, though, that it's opening WIDE on Friday (not just in select cities)? Is this innaccurate?

I got an email from Fox Searchlight about it: "SUNSHINE will open in six cities on 7/20 (LA, NY, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Toronto). It will open everywhere else on 7/27." :*0

I won't be able to see it opening night (7/27) because I will be in the middle of nowhere! AAAAAAAAAAARGH! Maybe I'll drive to New York on Friday the 20th (six hour drive minus traffic)... Well, that's horrific news indeed...I was sure it would at least open in the Washington, DC area even if it wasn't a "wide release" on Friday. I guess I'll keep it in perspective -- this one's definitely going to be worth waiting for.

Thanks for the LY, but inside I'm devastated...I'm just keeping a stiff upper lip in my posts. :*0 ;D This seems like a great community of sci-fi fans! I'll survive until next weekend...(sniff) I hope! I've waited a long time for a new intelligent sci-fi movie...what's another week?!

I know. It's all very depressing indeed, but the wait is worth it. Just be cautious in how you're spending your time.

Quick update, y'all: I heard from one of my sci-fi geek brethren that there's going to be a pre-screening of "Sunshine" in my home city on Tuesday night at the local megaplex...I may drop by and see if it's legit. In other words, I may get to see it VERY soon if this is true! I'm agnostic, but....
