Sunshine 7/10
I like Danny Boyle's films. Trainspotting and 28 Days Later are both excellent movies.
Sunshine doesn't spend an hour of the movie introducing the characters and trying to explain the whys and hows of the crisis and it's not needed. The characters are easy enough to understand and don't need a hit Aerosmith song to help you connect with them.
I felt there was a real sense of peril and urgency in the film. The characters know how important their mission is and they show it. The last bit took a small turn which wasn't horrible but felt like it lost a bit of the first half's build up. I really wish it had went more toward a psychological thriller ending but instead went with more of an action film kind of ending.
