Armageddon is pure commercial movie typical american entertainer (Thats what Michael Bay usually makes.......Ronald Emmrich the godzilla fame also follows the bay league) Dont get me wrong not critisizing, on the entertainment factor Bay's movies outshine like anything, but his image of US being hero saving the world goes a bit over the top for me. Sunshine was more subtle in its nature, it was more to do with the human interaction/emotions/complexities across the people onboard. Sunshine for me had a different look all together.
Just because the movie did not show the nitti gritties of the technical aspect does not mean its a crap, that was not what the movie intended, yes agreed the movie had its flaws but it was far better than crap.
Ofcourse interests my vary.. The things/aspects that you look for in movies might be different than what i do but this movie had no sense according to me...
At the start they tried to present minute but dumb and unnecessary details just to showcase the depth in the story.. Apart from overall concept ..Yeah only "concept" nothing was interesting.. Stupid Plot and worst actors..
Agreed Armageddon is commercial movie but even though it is much older than Sunshine.. The Scifi element is handled so well..The intensity, the thrill everything. The movie is gripping even with its flaws which are unnoticeable. But in this case even a 7yr old can say that they are trying to fool you.
I mean cmon, theres nothing wrong with fooling. Its a movie and not a documentary. But there are certain aspects that should go hand in hand. This movie had no flow, no synchronisation
and most painful thing was that i got HDRip of this movie
Just because this happens to be my favorite genre
Edit :-
From your previous recommendations i see that you are more inclined towards Artistic capabilities in the movie, so i am glad that you liked the movie from your perspective which is strange as this type of emotions that you mentioned are in every other movie..
I mean there are 5 ppl - 4 believe in "sacrifice yourself for greater good"... And there is one wussy, who just wants to go back home and scared shitless.. and so they haggle for who will die first..
"Sounds Familiar" - What was so emotionally strong in it ?
I am a huge space fanatic.. So i know atleast some if not much about the technical aspects of the story. But that wasnt something that i was looking for. They were doing something out of extraordinary. Though genre was similar Saving Mankind and Blah Blah.. But these types of movies needs to have a sense of Thrill and Adventure mixed with Mystery..
Anyways at this second i recall 3 similar movies..Though i have seen many of same genre..
- Armageddon
- Deep Impact
- Core
You might wanna check those out and then compare with Sunshine. Though Theme is same Armageddon is better compared to other two..
