3:10 to Sunshine

I watched two movies last night.

First the remake of 3:10 to Yuma and then Sunshine.

3:10 was a pretty good movie for a remake and expanded upon the original. In the original Ben Wade was ambiguous in his good and evil state. In the remake there is no doubt Wade is evil. The ending is different and less satisfying than the original. In fact I'd say the ending was unnecessary and stupid. The banter between Christian Bale and Russel Crowe was the highlight of the movie.

Watch it if you want just prepare yourself of an ending that makes you say, "Now why did they do that for?"

Sunshine is a scifi from the director of 28 Days. The Sun is going out in the future so a ship is being sent to set off a nuclear weapon to reignite it. The was in fact the second ship as the first mission failed.

There is a really big ship and the crew dies for reasons that should have been calculated out way before the ship was built. It is a logical flaw in the movie. The movie itself is highly stylized and would have benefited from a more straight forward direction. It was hard to tell what was going on a lot of the time. I found myself hoping it was over with quicker.

It had potential but wasted it. You are better off skipping it.
