The sun is dying.

...Running out of Sunny D or something.

And so scientists and astronauts are assembled to take an enormous nuclear Rubik's Cube up to the sun and detonate it, thus giving it the extra kick it needs to keep going.

It's a fairly straight-forward plot, and this is usually a very good premise, despite it's simplicity, for a great character study... bods in a box, for a very long time, going slightly crazy as they go...
...So far, so good, and I have to say I was very excited about this film when it came out, as Danny Boyle never lets you down.

But.......

Unfortunately, this film doesn't really have the courage of it's convictions, in seeing this premise all the way through, and instead bottles it I think, but opting instead for the usual recourse of lazy or frustrated script writers when they hit a wall in resolving a plot line, and turn it into some kind of Sci-fi horror monster movie at the end.

(I won't spoil for those who haven't seen it yet, but leave it at that)

Up until this moment though, it's brilliant, with an excellent cast working through the character conflicts and the potential catastrophes which can come from the smallest mistakes in space... drama enough I'd have said, and had they (Boyle principally) stuck it out, this could have been one of the great Sci-fi movies... but instead, it's just a pretty good one.

Worth watching though
