Lets continue disaster movie cheese as they are guilty pleasure movies.

The Core is about to nuking Earths dying core while Sunshine is about nuking the suns dying core.

Which one do you like better?

Sunshine, without a doubt for me. It falls a bit apart towards the end when the guy reveals himself, but before that and the last scene it is an amazing movie, beautiful OST and acting. Actually it is one of my favourite Danny Boyle movies along with Shallow Grave and Trainspotting. The core is more of a disaster movie that does what every disaster movie does. Nothing really stands out about it.

I spit on the heretics who vote Core as the better film.

It's not just common knowledge that Sunshine is better, it's an absolute 100% fact.

 

[Rest]

If I had to pick one, it's The Core. But they're both great.

Sunshine is 3/4 of a great movie, torpedoing in the last act. The Core was garbage.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Haven't seen either of em

 

[daveonezero]

I really like sunshine but then watched it with my GF a few years later and just thought it was super lame.

never seen the core

 

[Loke]

The Core is crap. Sunshine is visually stunning and its soundtrack is absolutely amazing, only let down by the final act when it turns from a good sci-fi movie to a horror slasher, just bizarre.

 

[jonnyp]

The Core was incredibly shit. Sunshine slightly less shit, completely ruined by the final act.

 

[CloudNull]

The core only because I have never seen sunshine. Is it worth a watch even though it's old?

Yeah, it's worth a watch. Written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation).

The Core is trash.

Sunshine is amazing... until it isn't and turns into a slasher movie for some reason.

 

[El Pistolero]

Sunshine, if it was not for the last quarter, would be a masterpiece: The acting, the score, the suffocating atmosphere...Everything, aside from the inclusion of you know-what/who, is absolutely great. The Core is cheesy garbage disaster flick...

 

[deafmedal]

KANEDA!!! WHAT DO YOU SEE?!?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Sunshine is a great film. Soundtrack is fantastic.

 

[GymWolf]

Never watched sunshine but i enjoyed how stupid and cheesy the core was.

I really need to see sunshine soner or later...

 

[AV]

Sunshine's a legit fantastic movie when you forget about the ending, it's not cheesy disaster.

 

[Rest]

This thread seems to be full of crazy people. The Core is bad? The last part of Sunshine is bad? What?
I think you guys just don't like movies.

 

[Windle Poons]

Sunshine wins because of the soundtrack.

 

[AJUMP23]

Sunshine has some incredible cinephotography, even though I think it drags her and there. The core is an utter drag.

 

[Arimer]

I'd prefer Sunshine even with how dumb it gets in the end.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Sunshine is legit great. I don't even mind the change of tone in the last third.

 

[Spaceman292]

Haven't seen either of em

Everyone here thanks you for your insight.

 

[dr_octagon]

Sunshine because it has the guy from street countdown

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Sunshine fell apart in its third act, but was good until it turned into a shlocky monster movie. The Core was bad the whole way through.

 

[GamingKaiju]

Sunshine for me. The final act goes in a weird direction but everything else was great. The core is a disaster cheese movie dialled to 11

Yeah Sunshine is actually a *good* film compared to 99% of disaster flicks.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Everyone here thanks you for your insight.

Okay

 

[EverydayBeast]

I'd have to do a deep dive on these movies they seem like great science movies.

Sunshine made a strong lasting impression. When Piistol Star was first posted by Chevelle the second half guitar work brought me vividly right back to being immersed in the final descent scene of the movie. When Pete Loeffler posted the inspiration for the song was Sunshine a few days after release that was a great confirmation of their talent to convey meaning and the impression the movie made on them. It's not like every song or movie about the Sun does this. There isn't even a clear reference to Sunshine in the track, what I found connected it for me was on a subconscious and emotional level.
