They are piloting a giant spacecraft with a bomb on it. The bomb is really big.
They plan on flying it into the sun and detonating it.
Somehow this lights the sun back up.
What they're really saying is, it's a fucking film. Not a science documentary. And the stuff you said was dumb. Then again, so was what some other people said. It wouldn't be like lighting gas back on fire, they would theoretically be trying to initiate a chain fusion reaction that would then spread through the remaining hydrogen. This raises other questions but I reiterate, it's a fucking movie.
I agree that it doesn't need to be scientifically valid. We all just accept The Force and Hyperspace in Star Wars, or teleportation and Warp Drives in Star Trek, or whatever else. But this film's premise is just so obviously impossible that it's making people go "I don't buy it" right off the bat, and that's not OK.
This sequel looks sort of dumb. I hope its good though. SA loves his zombies.
Katchem_Ash didn't refer to himself in the third person enough, so I'm glad you're helping us to meet that quota.
;-)
Why are we talking about Katchem_Ash?
Because you just referred to yourself in the third person, which he's been doing a hell of a lot lately. It's a stylistic similarity OH MY GOD HE'S YOUR ALT blah blah
Oh, okay then. I sort of started to ignore the Ash threads after the first two.

I just dont see whats so improbable about it.
Sure it is improbable, literally, but its not wild lunacy. The ship itself does look like it was fucking built to visit the sun. Its basically one giant mirror.
Still, I agree. Reigniting the sun might be beyond some peoples imaginations. I think its kinda cool.
REAL SPOILER
There is a great scene as the final shot of the film, where Sydney is all covered in snow and ice. nad the sun is really dim in the sky. really looked good
no
it's wild lunacy
it just seems like it's possible because it doesn't have people firing fireballs from their hands
No core is wild lunacy. digging to the centre of the earth with a penis shaped laser ship. that protects itself with lasers. and is made from a material which gets stronger the hotter it gets (probably impossible in real science)
not only that, its crewed by ridiculous stereotypes and has a preposterous premise.
sunshine still has that 'impossible science' aspect, but its all presented in a 'could happen' way, where even though reigniting the sun is never going to be real, the film makes it kinda believable.
maybe im not a jaded movie watcher like other people, but i really enjoyed it. and a lot of smack around here from people who havent seen the film.

i'm not saying it's a bad film, i'm saying the premise is complete nonsense

Mani, since you're here, can you give me a definitive answer about whether spoilered images are loaded into cache (regardless of whether you open the spoiler) or not?

I have heard many people say both.
Depends on browser. In my browser, they do not seem to load, which I base on this one time that I had a page open for a while, and only when I opened the spoiler tag did the image start to draw itself line-by-line.

Yeah, I have had the same thing happen, but not consistently.
And I don't want to make any assumptions about it, which is why I asked.
I think overall I'd be able to suspend disbelief for Sunshine if it were not set during 21st century Earth but in some far-flung setting where things like they are proposing can be considered possible.
So all of England was wiped out by rage-runners (or however you want to designate the zombies in 28 Days/Weeks Later) as evidenced by the "youngest person in the country" line and the American soldiers that are occupying London. That sounds like a good setup for a series of books or a miniseries based on the outbreak. I kind of hope someone does something like this.

...'sall I'm sayin.
I'm pretty sure we have more than 50 years before the sun dies, too :P
i don't think the kinds of thing in sunshine would ever be possible
i just don't think there's any kind of molecular bond strong enough to withstand 1,000,000 K

See, now that's a way to get around this stuff. Like Star Wars or LOTR, just make it take place in some faraway setting and tell the viewers in the first 20 minutes of the movie "hey, yeah, there's magic and shit here." Even Star Trek, which uses Earth as part of its setting, just puts us far enough in the future that it's not difficult to go "well it's way in the future, so their understanding of science might be different (and more advanced) than our own."
As long as it's not something ridiculous, it's OK. Light-speed travel? Sure. Spiritual powers and laser swords? OK. Aliens that can breed with humans? Fine. But something as well-understood as the sun? Needing to dig into it and re-light it? Come on. Nobody's gonna believe that.
The point is that you should just not inline NSFW images. Just because someone's using a browser you don't like doesn't mean you can post NSFW stuff because your browser is special and caches differently.

You're pretty awesome then.
