In 2057, Nuclear Bomb is Used to Reignite The Dying Sun

In 2057, the sun is dying, and a team of astronauts must go on a very dangerous mission to revive it using a colossal stellar bomb and save Earth from freezing over.

they would’ve succeed the mission with no casualty if they just planted the bomb at night

[JaslynFellows]

So this is an “always follow your first mind (plan)” especially on a mission in space, kinda Sci-fi movie.

Pinbacker is NOT REAL!
He is the insane part of Capa's personality, thats why you never see him un-blurred.
Capa can't handle being responsible for all the personell deaths. When Maze confronts him at Trey's Suicide, he snaps and gives birth to Pinbacker. Remember, he just saw Pinbacker's ramblings on the Icarus 1.

Take the scenes on the bomb. Pinbacker appears out of nowhere in this huge hall very well lit. He fights, lifts Capa up one-handed with super human strength (he is malnourished burned skeleton) - its Capa fighting his inner Insanity.
Pinbacker isn't killed, yet he lets Capa proceed arming the bomb.

Boyle wanted a movie discussing mental health in space travel and under extreme responsibility. Turning that into a slasher makes no sense. He kept in line and fooled everyone.

So you're telling me there is an entire movie about the Among Us Game?

Thats why you don't change plans halfway through the mission.

This movie doesn't make a lot of sense. As the sun has less fuel, it should burn hotter, output more heat and grow in size. The sun will eventually become so large that it completely swallows earth before it collapses in to a supernova.

This movie takes among us game to a whole new level

[MollyHJohns]

Thank you for this. One of the only sci-fi movies I actively sought for and bought the DVD for collection purposes. It's just.. worth it.

[mrpanda]

this is like the movie THE CORE bc they use nuclear weapons to save mankind

[magicmagic]

Naming a spaceship with a mission to the sun “Icarus” has got to be one of the worst ideas ever

[neilsy]

While all this is happening, Mace's twin is having his own problems in a train that circles the earth non stop in the harsh winter.

[AlexTommo]

Of all the ways to die whilst being in such close proximity to the sun, you'd expect freezing to death to be the least likely.

[inutilia]

Why does every space movie involve the crew hating each other and starting fights, plus whenever they go outside the spaceship to fix something someone always dies.

[lamebubblesflysohigh]

Trying to ignite the Sun with a nuke would be like trying to raise the sea level by spitting into it.

[KOKOBC]

The fact that the AI doesn’t automatically realign the sun shield is just stupid

[skell_chr]

Man, the ship AI is something, didn't even automatically notify the crew that there is an unidentified personnel aboard the ship, imagine if that unidentified personal is an unidentified lifeform instead

[alexcarter]

This is why you don't send a manned mission for important stuff like this. You could easily send 3X bombs unmanned and nearly 0% chance of problems. Send probes before bombs to check out conditions while bombs are being built.

[DudenamedSoo]

This was visually a beautiful movie and one of its biggest strengths.

[JwayT]

You'd have thought they'd have had more than one oxygen garden FFS.

This is how Cap got turned back into Human Torch.
