Eight astronauts were sent to re-ignite the dying sun by detonating a gigantic bomb. Along the journey, some miscalculations and arguments lead to serious problems. Then, they found out that the oxygen supply was only enough for four members. Aaaand there was an unexpected member who got on board.

Never actually a big fan of sci-fi or action movies and I gotta say that I think this is neither. Not exactly a thoughtless action movie which relies on its special f/x.. The story flowed naturally, along with its ups and downs and enough surprises to keep you interested throughout the movie. It had its twists and turns and interesting intrigues that grasp you like a thriller movie does, stunning visual effects and quite interesting characters. Although there's one thing near the end than felt kind of forced, to me, all in all I DO love this movie. Cillian Murphy steals every scene, like he always does. There's something very intense yet charming about him. No doubt, one of the finest actors working today. Go see The Wind that Shakes the Barley.. you'll understand how good this man is. And theeen there's Hiroyuki Sanada. Never knew his English was that good. Chris Evans was hot, and his character is kinda loveable.

I didn't really bought the Pinbacker stunt at the end. Felt kind of forced. But I guess the ending wouldn't have been as dramatic as that if he hadn't showed up. So yeah..

You know what? Would've given a 10, but the Pinbacker thing just bugged me to death! So.. 8.5 / 10.
