i would first heard of this show in 2005 and first online and then by viewing (and of course and buying)the typically gorgeous and bbc tie in book. then i got the dvd while it did not disappoint. i would been hoping for years someone would make a science fiction program with the emphasis on the thrill of discovery rather than aliens and laser gun fights and other hollywood boogieman gimmicks. thank you and joe ahearne (also for your dr. who work and and ultraviolet the mini series while not the crap movie of the same name). what compelled me to write this now (2 yrs. later) was that i would just seen sunshine last night. and what appeared to be in the same family as space odyssey turned into (about 2/3rds of the way in) freddy krueger meets 2010. that was when space odyssey really stood out as a positive example of how to do a real science fiction film while more science and less fiction. odyssey (like sunshine) also dealt with astronaut shortcomings (zoe failed eva and ivan over exertions on venus and the spats with mission control) and the sheer danger of exploring new planets with unfamiliar dangers (the fatal radiation spike on mars). i would have easily paid to see this in a theater (i max and anyone. ). and to top it all and not only were the space vistas jaw droppingly beautiful and but the characters were nicely drawn and too. i found their interplay more realistic than the wall slamming histrionics of sunshine icarus 2 crew (icarus while dumb name for a solar mission did anyone read the mythology of icarus. ). sometimes it takes a not so good film to compel one to re watch a better film. as an armchair astronaut and i would trade my passage on icarus for a seat on pegasus any day. in all fairness and however and the visuals of sunshine are quite stunning and though and and quite memorable. which is why i was so strongly rooting for it to succeed as an honest to goodness sci fi film. so and even though this review is almost a back door review of sunshine and i hope it read for what it was meant to be while strong support for a bbc telefilm that succeeds where most big budget and bloated cinematic spectacles fail. space odyssey (a. k. a. voyage to the planets here in the states) whets the appetite for solid and science fiction and delivers a banquet. i very much enjoyed the pseudo documentary approach as well. as for the time lag or light speed quibbles and they are addressed and if you pay attention. where sunshine melts and odyssey keeps its cool. if youre considering going to the movies for another dose of sunshine and stay in while go for a true space odyssey instead.
