Electric Palace, Harwich
Certificate 15
The crew of spaceship Icarus II fly towards the Sun on a mission to save a dying Earth, and discover a distress signal from a previous Icarus mission...
Slightly pretentious variation on Alien with the Sun's rays and an unexpected (and unnecessary) additional crew member as the combined villain of the piece, and a lot of scientific gobbledygook delivered by one-dimensional characters until the incoherent finale. Suspenseful and visually striking, but not particularly satisfying.
d: Danny Boyle
s: Cillian Murphy, Rose Byrne, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Cliff Curtis, Trory Garity, Hiroyuki Sanada, Benedict Wong, Chipo Chung (voice).
