I'm still waiting to see Moon and I'm really looking forward to it. I was not blown away by Sunshine at all.

Tough choice. I wasn't blown away by either, though that could be related to them being severely overhyped to me. I saw each of them twice, and liked each less on the second viewing.

I'll go with Moon for two reasons: 1) Sam Rockwell's performance, 2) the fact that it was made for such little money.

Loved both and Sunshine is in my collection. Voted for Sunshine because it's a film that I can enjoy watching over and over and the soundtrack is amazing.

JTStarkiller · 01-29-2010, 12:42 AM

John Murphy himself sent me a copy of the soundtrack he submitted to the record company. He's the absolute nicest guy.

Unlike the infamous Star Trek vs G.I. Joe poll, this one is very close.

What's your point? My avatar is a joke, it means nothing about what I think about Avatar.

But enjoy pretending you understand Sunshine and Moon, and that they're deep, intellectual movies, while also hating anything that you think you should hate, for being too simple and mainstream.

Some members should not leave the Criterion thread, it make's them cranky

ThereWillBeBud · 01-29-2010, 02:54 PM

I'll go with Moon. I probably would've went with Sunshine if not for the final act.

derzauberer · 01-29-2010, 03:05 PM

I voted for Sunshine. Love Michelle Yeoh!

What was wrong with the final act?

derzauberer · 01-29-2010, 03:12 PM

All these clones of Sam Bell, the Moon must have been a sort of Davy Jones' Locker for him. Poor guy.

The climax was just very disappointing and pretty much went against everything the movie had established prior to that point. Don't get me wrong I still like the movie, but it could have been a lot better if they hadn't turned to the 'there's someone else on board killing the crew' scenario.

JTStarkiller · 01-29-2010, 04:15 PM

I LOVED the third act turn, but I can honestly see why others didn't. It worked for me.

i think the movie would have fell flat if not for that scenario at the end... while i still dont understand why he got all religious.....

Moon just takes it for me , Rockwell is amazing as usual and the soundtrack is just fab.
