Edit:What-except that point of shipping the remaining nuclear fuel on a single rocketship-did you find as nonsensical physics in Sunshine?(Oops,saw now you said science,but the question still remains)I thought it very well made in that regard.

I'm didn't miss the point, I just disagree that there is anything philosophical about the premise of Sunshine.

I care about your taste in film as much as I care about the type of house parties you seem to frequent.
