Genuinely curious myself. Despite the movie being really flawed from the technological/scientific plausibility side of things, it does have some neat ideas.

That dude was a modern-day Sun cultist. He had elevated the sun to something like a diety in his mind. he believed Kaneda also had a healthy respect for the Sun and so was excited about the prospect of him seeing something as he went to meet his maker.
the mission was about meeting god for him.
So then you remember the part where the crazy religious guy from the first ship gets aboard and starts murdering everybody. It's like a Rob Zombie movie.

Yes, I remember when the guy that was shown to be progressively more and more unstable eventually went full schizo and started killing everyone. He is not a serial killer. This was not a twist.

He arguably was a serial killer since he killed numerous people (with some cooling off period, since he killed off some of his own crew). That he was kind of crazy, ideologically, doesn't exclude him from serial killer status.
But you're right that it's not a twist.

No. Words have meaning. The phrase "serial killer" has a distinct meaning.

Killing people in a sequence?

Killing people in some pattern. His only motivation was having the voice in his head telling him to kill. He did it in whichever way was the most convenient. Are you out of straws and goalposts yet?

Sure sounds like a serial killer to me

>A serial killer (also called a serial murderer) is typically a person who murders three or more persons,[1] with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant period of time between them.[1][2] While most authorities set a threshold of three murders,[1] others extend it to four or lessen it to two
According to this definition, he fits the profile of a serial killer. Mentally ill people can still be considered serial killers and they don't need to use the same method every single time.

Ah, so you either die young or live long enough to see the definition of every word you knew to change unrecognizably. Carry on then, kids.

I think he would be more of a mass murderer who just had no options for a few months until the next ship came

That he was a victim of circumstance doesn't change the fact that he was a serial killer.

If the definition of serial killer depends on the killer using the exact same method every single time there would be very few serial killers. All the big names (Bundy, Dahmer, BTK, Zodiac, etc.) switched up their methods sometimes. You'd have a better argument for him being a mass murderer but since he used the first opportunity he had to kill more people with cooling off periods in between, he is a serial killer.

Most of his kills were stabbings, the ones that weren't weren't due to necessity.
Or, you know... you were just like... wrong
He's wrong, but to be fair the definition has been changed around a few times.
I mean it's ok. The premise is still ridiculous. The idea than anything human-made could have some sort of impact on our star's life is ridiculous. Our star is so fricking massive you can fit a million earths into it. So some tiny fraction of Earth rock is not going to make one goddamn bit of difference. No man-made bomb is going to revitalize the star.
I suppose it's not a boneheaded as a Nolan movie.
The minute they decided to have the crew go to the other ship there was no choice but to have them fight someone or something. I don't have a problem with it, and the first act is an absolute masterpiece.
If you want a movie that's just space existentialism right until the end watch Aniara.
Saw this absolute K I N O in theaters when it was released, and no scenes have ever struck me as much as the full screen sun scenes. Watching it on tv later just doesn't do it justice. I have a dream of paying a theater money just to have a private screening of this again just to see the full screen shots.
Interstellar would've been better if it leaned into it's themes about love transcending time and space. Without that there's no soul and all that was left was epic space autism.
Years ago during a storm lightning hit a fence right next to me. The light was so bright and the sound so loud I lost my hearing and sight for a minute.Light enveloped me and for a couple of seconds I felt as if I had lost myself in the light. It was such a unique moment that I remember the sensation even after more than a decade and I understand why people would loose themselves in light so bright.
kek, that's funny because I only just recently got around to watching Interstellar a couple weeks ago, and that was the exact thought that I had. Interstellar is just a worse Sunshine with a really contrived "time" mechanic tacked onto the end. Interstellar even basically does the "space zombie" thing, just worse
I like Sunshine, but I just can't take the last act seriously.
Why?
because reasons
Act 3 makes perfect sense when you realize Alex Garland only ever writes adaptations of Heart of Darkness.
also

I feel like what happened is that Quentin Tarantino made this same comment, and then everyone adopted it as their own opinion.

Kaneda! What do you see?!
What did he mean by that? Was he expecting Kaneda to see God or some shit?

A gorillion times better than Blade Runner
I liked moon but if you didn’t figure it out in the first 10 min
No
Bladerunner was cool and had fighting skills
Wandering Earth is better
I agree. I know the third act was weak, but it was still a good movie and certainly leagues above Interstellar.
Nah. Interstellar is better.
"Sunshine 3rd act is bad" is the most reddit opinion
>le random serial killer twist
and defending such dogshit is pure Cinemaphile

Dude what? Different anon.
Watch the movie
I did, not too long ago.

where did you think it was going? did you just miss the horror tones and foreshadowing
>3rd act bad hurr
What's a better 3rd act then?
You want me to list every film ever made that doesn't shit the bed in the last third? Because we're going to be here an awfully long time
I loved Sunshine and it’s about time for a rewatch but I also love Interstellar for different reasons.
Anyway, random serial killer twist ruins the third act. Watch 2/3rds of the movie then shut it off.
i used to jack off to this movie.
I still do, but I used to also.
To what scene?
the part wwith cillian murphy
You have good taste.

or better yet, dont
what kind of name is pinbacker
a serial killer name
Sounds British
A reference to Dark Star, John Carpenter's first flick, where a starship crew all die in space because of a bomb.

Missing this in theaters is one of my greatest regrets.

Wrong, sunshine is a dumb slasher film
