The Sun Is Dying So A Crew Is Sent, But The Unexpected Happens

In the not-too-distant future, the sun is dying sun spells the end for humanity. In a last-ditch effort to save the planet, a crew is sent into space with a device that could revive the star. However, an accident, a grave mistake and a distress beacon from a long-lost spaceship throw the crew and its desperate mission into a tailspin.

So, the ship has an intelligent AI that cares about the occupants eyes, but doesnt have the ability to turn on a simple shield that might kill everyone. ight

[@L33tSkE3t]

The only thing I could think of is that the AI was purposefully not given full control of the Solar shield as it is integral to their very survival and to that of their craft. Restricting control of such a critical component necessary for even the most basic of functionins on and within the structure, let alone providing livable temperatures and conditions for human habitation, it’s best to keep control of something so crucial to the survival of Icarus and its crew separated. Keeping control of something so mission critical away from a computer that could very easily experience disruptions from power loss, or glitches from high bandwidth computer circuitry being degraded by the immense radiation of the Sun, is probably for the best.

[@MovieManiajjjjj]

I remember seeing this movie as a tot, and two things in particular come to mind: 1: Why would they name the attempt to reach the sun after Icarus, who's famous specifically for failing to do so? 2: Being stuck alone on a space station with limited resources and blasted with radiation and heat really shouldn't put anyone in a state where they'd be able to engage anyone in combat.

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

as a tot? That is some idiosyncratic expression? What is that "tot"? And Irarus wasn't trying to get to the Sun, his father Daedalus made wings and told to Irarus not to fly too low or too high...Icarus went too high and according to the logic of the times when that legend was made, he got too close to the Sun... But, in principle you are right, that is an inappropriate name because the story of Iracus is a tragedy.

[@luther1546]

I said the same thing before I saw your comment. Icarus is a bad name.

[@alxxz]

It is implied that he had been conversating and communing with an evil entity probably the angel of light, Satan, that had kept him alive in order to destroy humanity by jeopardizing the mission. That's why when Capa says to him in surprise "my God", he replies not your God, mine! And stabs him!

I really enjoyed this one in spite of the ludicrous premise. Alex garland script with a top notch cast won me over. And it turned out there was a bit of -extremely speculative science behind their bomb. I wish commentators would stop highlighting the name Icararus as though they are smarter than the screenwriters, it was there for a reason.

[@luther1546]

Rose Byrne is so pretty. Also, why would you name the mission Icarus? The guy failed and died. Seems like an ill-omened name for a world-saving mission.

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

This film, "Sunshine" has good actors and actresses, it is obvious the money were put and all effects are good, but the story... I get it that the story about the sun is just a base, a foundation for making a movie about other things, mainly psychological things, but... The sun is "dying" and human beings made one spaceship that carries, half of the Earth's materials for making a fission explosion...so they are sending a second, which carries all that what in the Earth for making a fission nuclear explosion...But the Sun, the nuclear process that makes the sun shine and gives away energy is fusion, hydrogen under incredible pressure and temperature is turning into Helium and energy is released...That process is called fission...So how can fusion explosion restart the Sun? Besides, even if you gather all material that is on Earth and create a fission explosion...The Sun is so big, it will be nothing, even an analogy with a firecracker is wrong... Even if there is some force to push our whole planet unto the sun, it is nothing...The sun has 98 percent of all material in the solar system... To restart it, one has to bring enormous quantities of hydrogen, not to me some explosions that will do absolutely nothing.

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

@@SilmeBetty Fusion bombs use fission as a trigger, but you need hydrogen, and a LOT of it... Where is that Hydrogen? The Sun used all the Hydrogen... no, that is just a dumb mistake.

[@VitorHugoOliveiraSousa]

Yep, the sun dying would be for lack of fuel. There is no restarting this. At best you could try to create a small back hole inside it, the accretion disk would possibly generate enough heat and light to sustain life. Also the sun will go red giant and shine brighter, not diming when dying. And will take billions of years. It's so frustrating when Hollywood do dumb sci-fi like that. When if you did payed attention in physics class, a trip to Wikipedia would be enough to get the basic idea right. Don't need to be hard sci-fi with even numbers correctly calculated, but a minimum of adherence to reality would be good.

[@Fishsticksim]

also the sun has a surface area of 60700000000000000000 m2 or 6.07 x 10^18 m^2 but the bomb is only 59000 m^2 that means the sun has 1.0288136e+15 times more surface area than the bomb and a nuke usually explodes causing prominent effect to only about 20 times it's size and even the Tsar bomb, the most powerful nuke built by the USSR can only produce an explotion crater on soil 45 times its size. Radition spread by the nuke will not fuel the sun beause stars react by fushing hydrogen and helium. The sun would become a red giant after it runs out of fuel meaning it would begin to fuse heavier elements and create all elements up to iron. Since the sun is not a supermassive star it wont create elements above iron. Nukes dont jumpstart any fusion reaction regarding a star for two factors, it is far to weak and puny, and secondly, the sun dosen't power based on radiation or explotions but by fusing hydrogen and helium. So for anyone who says the movie has any science, they are likley todlers or failed physics and chem in every grade. Thanks.
