Sunshine is not free on KZbin like you said

[@luciferfernandez7094]

Sunshine is an underrated masterpiece - it’s a film made for cinema screens, watched it 3 times on the theater and each time it was a better experience

[@darkhierophant4914]

It's a shame that it doesn't get talked about enough.

[@christie_brown]

I always forget that Danny Boyle also directed this movie. Everyone talks about Trainspotting (rightfully so) and slumdog millionaire. But sunshine , along with 127 hours and Steve Jobs. I think those are films that really hold up

[@luciferfernandez7094]

@@christie_brown And it was written by Alex Garland, who became a really good director himself! I’d add Millions to Boyle’s best of list

[@LuisSierra42]

@@christie_brown I think his Steve Jobs movie was boring and predictable

[@SA80TAGE]

absolutely has to be experienced in theatre imo.... the size of the screen and often deafening speakers play such a part in the impression of scale and power the sun has.

[@TheNameIsChrisP]

Sunshine also has one of the best film scores of all time; so good that it's also used in climactic scenes in other movies like Kick-Ass and Wonder Woman 2.

[@9Rollotomasi]

Agree, Kanada's Death Pt. 2 (Adagio in D. Minor) is spectacular.

[@DampeS8N]

Everything about Sunshine is just so brilliant. Except for the story.

[@thisiscait]

Yessss so glad you mentioned it! Amazing soundtrack.

[@sonipitts]

One aspect of the soundtrack that doesn't get enough appreciate is the way they built this sort of low staticky growling rumble of the sun's energy into the surround-sound soundscape at a frequency that is almost more felt than heard. So in a big-screen theater setting you could basically **feel** the force of the sun in a way that was very visceral and felt terrifying close and dangerous, putting you much more in the scene than you might otherwise be.

[@uqbar42]

"Surface of the Sun" is one of the most intense song I've ever heard

[@thrice87]

I can’t believe Sunshine is getting some love. It is such an underrated gem. One of the best sci-fi movies ever made.

[@alexdelderfield]

They could do a whole episode on it tbh. Great movie, amazing use of CGI.

[@imtems6369]

100%. It geta a hard time for its slasher 3rd act, but it's an incredibly visceral film. One of the best original soundtracks aswell

[@BetaBreaking]

​@@imtems6369idk when I saw the movie as a kid back in the early 2000 it really stuck with me. I remembered it vividly despite not watching it in almost 10+ years, then I watched it as a teenager and was able to appreciate it so much more!

[@dr.lionhunter9988]

I don't mind the slasher element, fits the film's themes@@imtems6369

[@AdmiralSym]

Love that movie so much

[@davidcsimon]

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. An underappreciated masterpiece made in 2003 with flawless VFX that still stand up today. It was WETA's first project after finishing Lord of the Rings, and featured a perfect blend of CGI, miniatures, studio sets, and full-scale ship replicas (one mounted on an enormous gimble) to depict naval warfare in the age of sail. Nothing has matched it since.

[@1LegintheGrave]

I Second this!

[@CuddlyCthulhu]

I third this! There is stuff so good you completely forget special effects are a thing.

[@darrellhannan9216]

I was lucky enough to see Sunshine on the huge true Imax screen at London's Science Museum in March this year as part of their Science Fiction Film festival. It had a video introduction from Cillian Murphy and a Q&A hosted by the BBC's "Sky at Night" host, Maggie Aderin-Pocock with the film's director, Danny Boyle and the science consultant, Professor Brian Cox. You can imagine how amazing it was to see a pristine print up on that huge screen with the booming sound system - and the Q&A was just as illuminating ;-) - truly an amazing night out at the cinema.

[@vinodraj1984]

Man I envy you. I have watched sunshine quite a few times. I always catch a new detail in it. A small screen can never do justice for this underrated movie

[@hulking_presence]

Cillian Murphy is simply God at this point

[@Milamberinx]

I'm amazed they convinced Brian Cox to go to that. The amount of stick given him by Robin Ince about the story is enough to forest the sun.

[@RapSucksGoTechno]

That Poltergeist 3 mirror shot is incredible. The creativity that goes into creating practical effects like that continues to blow my mind.

[@ronniebillhicks]

I totally agree, imagine JUST HOW CLEAN the mirror had to be,.....if any fingerprints, dust or smudges were on it, it wouldn't sell as good,.....

Lots of great effects in P3. Glad they gave it some attention.

[@VillemR]

Yeah, I think the guys didn't talk about it, but it looks like the girl's arms are actually dummy arms, so her real arms are in her pajamas when she is being raised!

Wow, absolutely blown away by your breakdown of these visual effects!

Can't wait to see what you review next!

The fact that they named the ship Icarus cuz he flew too close to the sun in the myth is the chef's kiss.. lol such a human thing to do.@@hoon_sol

[@craigrussell3062]

Sunshine deserves so much more love as brilliant sci-fi. Same creepy, claustrophobic vibe of doom as the original Alien. I will always get chills at the scene where they're walking through the floating dust of the dead crew and it flashes single frames of them alive.

[@ekojar3047]

I love sunshine. I remember when it came out. It was like our version of interstellar for mid 2000s Highschool kids. KZbin was still very new to most of America. It was a special time for sure

[@kittenswithketchup]

FIREFLY and SERENITY. The opening shot of Serenity where it transitions from the Universal logo to the apocalyptic Earth is done really well, and the shot around the 10 minute mark where they're entering atmosphere feels so real. Also! I LOVE the fact that throughout the entire series, there is no sound in space. The only audio during space scenes is either dialog or MAYBE music, but rarely.

[@Vaqek]

when there is dialogue, it is either radio or touching helmets, which would totaly work

[@sandwiched]

Regarding the sound in space, yes, in the SERIES I believe that's the case, but I'm pretty sure they take some artistic liberties with that in the film.

[@kittenswithketchup]

@sandwiched I don't believe they do. I just watched it last week. Flying past the Ravagers, it's quiet. The shot I refer to at 10 minutes is quiet until they hit atmosphere. I don't recall a point where they have audio in space other than maybe when Mal fires the cannon they mounted to the roof at the Ravager ship. But that's a view point as is you're standing on the roof so you'd "hear" the cannon through the vibrations of the ship.

[@dylankarn9260]

It'd be fun to see you guys do a practical effects challenge amongst yourselves!

[@bennyweimer2345]

This would actually be so fun to watch, and see how different people approach the same problem.

[@colburn888]

17:24 The opening shot was specifically planed to resemble the eye with iris closing when exposed to bright light such as the sun. Also the whole docking sequence is amazing SFX work.

[@ResidentKen]

I’m so glad you’re covering Sunshine. SUCH an underrated movie

[@aidencoder]

I emailed the "Sunshine" VFX team about how they did it, WAY back in the day. They were really helpful, exchanging emails with me, telling me how it all worked. Legends.

[@NikstSWE]

Soo you going to share, ooor?

[@aidencoder]

@@NikstSWE basically much of what was said. My questions were about the sun rendering. They mentioned contrast control, "white" being absolute max brightness, making the dark scenes darker and highlighting with orange to keep it all still good looking. It was a long time ago, so I don't recall the details.

[@NikstSWE]

@@aidencoder ok, thanks :-)

[@lujho]

The Battleground stuff being so good makes more sense when you realize it’s Brian Henson directing. Obviously pushing the envelope in this area is kind of in his blood.

[@jasonblalock4429]

Ooooooooooooooh. Yep, that makes sense.

[@emilsn91]

I cannot find it on Imdb - do you have a link to it?

[@travissnyder2664]

​@@emilsn91came to say this. Not on IMDB or Letterboxd.

[@nuxxdk]

Aside from the gorgeous visuals… Sunshine’s score is also a colab with Underworld (of Trainspotting OST fame) - just about one of the best electronic groups out there, providing it just incredible ambience to underpin the melancholic plot.

[@michaelzautner4848]

For the poltergeist 3 thing with the mirror, her hands are remaining very very still, so I think they're actually prosthetics sticking out of her sleeves, and her actual hands are holding onto something through a hole in the mirror that is being covered by her outfit.

[@subn0rma1]

you guys should invite Scott from "Scott prop and roll" along with Adam savage for an episode of "propmasters react". Have them bring their favorite props in, too. Props can be "visual effects" too, right? They are a physical form of tricking the camera into seeing something that isn't actually there.

[@maxcandlestick8027]

Well, technically, "visual effects" means manipulating images outside of the context of a live-action shot, and all the stuff in the shot, like puppets, squibs, prosthetics, animatronics, are all "special effects." Like in Jurassic Park, they have Stan Winston and the special effects team making the big mechanical dinosaurs and car rigs, fake goat legs, and such, and they have the visual effects team making the CGI dinosaurs and doing comp shots, that kind of thing.

[@JunkyardBashSteve]

Dude I was just thinking about Scott collabing after seeing his new series on Propmasters React

[@ryanhamstra49]

Yes!! Sunshine is one of my favorites

[@AstroStrongBox]

[@ryanhamstra49]

I just went to look, they haven’t released it in 4k Blu-ray, and the Blu-ray is out of stock. Release a UHD version, I wanna watch this on my OLED in full quality!!

[@LokiDWolf]

I can't believe that you all are covering Sunshine!!! I just finished watching it last night again. It is STILL one of the most underrated sci-fi movies out. Yet, everyone in that cast has moved on to bigger and better things. It's just so damn good! Anyhoo, another fun video by you all. THANKS!!!

[@dude9038]

..."better things" is debatable

[@gadelampe]

A super underrated movie is "Moon" from 2009, which has some excellent cloning shots using motion control, as well as a lot of nice miniature work and a killer soundtrack. All with a budget of just $5 million.

[@davidsirmons]

Sunshine was a great movie. Rose Byrne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Cillian Murphy. Great cast, hard questions asked, and visually stunning.

[@DanWhiteT]

even more of the cast are very well known in the US via TV or otherwise

[@hiteshk1]

Fun fact about Sunshine: During the making of the movie's vfx shots (especially Sun) director Danny Boyle got so exhausted and frustrated that he decided that he will never make another vfx heavy movie ever again. I would loved if you have discussed the final shot of the film, where Cillian Murphy experiences the event horizon.

[@verbalfonders]

Sunshine’s marketing had me hooked from the go when their posters basically said all the characters die

[@realbadger]

Considering the awesome first short shown, have you guys ever seen any of Mike Jittlov's short films? He did several _amazing_ animated shorts back in the 1970s. At one point he was hired to make an animated short for a Disney TV special, about the ultimate Micky Mouse fan, so there are _countless_ Micky Mouse merch figures being animated. But when it aired, the music he had written and had for it was replaced. He was _not_ happy. So when they hired him again, and he made his classic short _The Wizard of Speed and Time_ (eventually he made a feature film about that character he created), Mike animated himself singing the song he'd written for the short. Now, Mike had been given carte blanche to do as he liked, and after he submitted the finished version, he received an enraged phone call from some empty suit exec over the fact Mike had _sung_ in the short, meaning they couldn't remove and replace the music. He was always mischievous so he smiled on the call and essentially replied, "𝘠𝘦𝘱...!" Tied with _Wizard of Speed and Time,_ my favourite short of his is _Animato,_ and while it's not a narrative film it's very visual, it utilizes Petula Clark's _I Know a Place_ song.

[@NMN]

Very good rec, the full movie has the film exec ask 'What's the hardest kind of special effect?' and Jittlov replies 'Stop motion with Pixilation' - Pixilation being the use of real actors in frame-to-frame stop motion. The fact that we also see Jittlov also plan out mouth movements per single frame to sync up with prerecorded sound in editing is an absolute marvel.

[@JoshLange3D]

It's not the stunt double getting out of the way in the Poltergeist shot because they're wearing shoes and long pants, the actors are barefoot. He/she might have been there to stop the stuntwoman from hitting the stairs to help her land on the cushion (you can see it behind the sneaker). Film crews did some riskier things back then but the "two shotguns" idea is verrry hard to believe. Love the MPC shout-out on Sunshine.

[@Schnipps]

It was true actually. Gotta remember this was back in 82, they did a lot of weird and dangerous stuff lol. Also, they had no one close to the model when they did it, everyone was quite a distance away from it as everything was attached to the wires and vacuum

[@JoshLange3D]

@@Schnipps I'd love to see a link to a real picture of it. These guys miss the mark sometimes with their speculation after all.

[@n3storm]

Sorry Wren, that shoe at Poltergeist cannot be the stunt because she was barefoot while flying. Maybe some assitant was holding a mattress to help the stunt?

[@insaincaldo]

Still a failed take that made the final cut.

[@EbuneezerSplewdge]

I think they were describing a stuntperson pulling their leg out of the shot late, after tossing the lead actress. Thusly, why they said they were only noticeable by pulling their leg. If the had stayed still, wearing black, 99.9% of people would have never noticed.

[@gabrielsatter]

​@@EbuneezerSplewdge The commenter is probably referring to Wren's actual statement which, in point of fact, only mentioned the visible leg belonging to the stuntperson who leapt backwards. From the way he said it, it could not be interpreted another way. That's not to say that Wren is blind, but at that moment, he didn't explain his theory correctly. By the by, I made the exact same comment as this one, and I will defend this interpretation to death and beyond.

[@chriskaprys]

I thought they'd just rotoscoped the actress onto the stuntperson (who could be wearing anything), because that initial launch through the air looks very hand-drawn.

[@SilkyC]

SO happy you covered Poltergeist! I am such a fan of those movies!!! And so cool to see you all talk about the behind the scenes and how they did some of the special effects!!

[@laserfloyd]

I wrote Sunshine off when it first came out. Figured it would be forgettable. 10 years went by and I saw it on sale at a used video game store for like 3 bucks. My mind was blown when I watched it. It's one of my favorites of all time now. I also found out why it was for sale so cheap... It was the Blu-ray that had the commentary show up randomly no matter what you did. 😂 I later bought a version that didn't have the commentary constantly out"shine" the movie. The actual commentary is great though as it's Dr. Brian Cox who helped out with the science aspect.

[@stevenborg102]

Sunshine is amazing. Most people I've seen talk about it talk about how the left turn in the third act completely ruins it, but I firmly believe that those people don't know how to have fun in life 😂

The "left turn" was not only absurd but entirely unnecessary. The movie would have been better without the supernatural BS in the second half.

I'm so glad you did Sunshine...... YOU were the one who told me watch it

Winga's stopmotion stuff put me in mind of a much-updated TETSUO: THE IRON MAN, the chase sequences that Shinya Tsukamoto put together are like the great-ancestor of these clips. Lot of great FX done with minimal budget in that film if you haven't seen it.

"The Fountain" is one of the greatest VFX films ever - they didn't use any CGI

THANK YOU. Stunningly beautiful film.

Sunshine is at the same time amazing and depressing. Such a great movie!

As is often the case, just like The Road.

Always glad to see Sunshine getting the respect it deserves I remember coming home and my dad had it on the counter as a rental from netflix (yes kids, back in the day netflix would MAIL you the dvd of the movies you wanted to see, there was a queue and waitlist and everything) I had nothing to do and was bored, and he usually gets the dumbest c list movies, so i figured I would watch it til i got bored and then do homework. Man was I wrong, one of the best "real" sci-fi movies I have ever seen, and one of the first times I ever found myself liking the a-hole in the movie the most (captain america) Ending got a little weird for a few minutes, but other than that, it as gold
