I think many times people need to stop calling it science fiction, when it is entirely a science fantasy. Look at The Core: one of my least favorite movies. No legitimate science to back it up, whatsoever. We ignore that and pretend it is in a universe with different physics (a sci-fantasy). After that it is like watching a legend, much like Beowulf, only a modern techno-fantasy legend; just a lot of random challenges that happen to come up are the basis of the movie.
I have yet to see Sunshine, however have read up on it. The science is Tex-Avery laughable, so I know to neglect it. That done, I just need to watch how the characters are portrayed.
