Better than The Core but was no 28 Days Later either.

My unnecessary opinions:
  • The portrayal is motivating, the characters nearly genuine however not gripping
  • The plots holes are as large as their bomb payload and are as laughable as Danny Boyle's Alien Love Triangle
  • Even when neglecting the things better not explained (why the sun is dying, the type of bomb intended to save the sun, the gravity, and the misaligned gravitational effect of the bomb room) there are still significant oopses that plain old would not happen.
  • Their attempt to override the Icarus computer navigation was perfectly plausible however, this override would never in a million missions have prevented the computer from doing the necessary solar shield alignment! These two systems, while crucially linked, would never ever ever be designed to be dependent on one computer

It was far better than I anticipated, however I didn't care for it too much. The visuals were phenomenal with an all right human portrayal, but I agree with many others that the psycho-thriller slasher ending kind of ruins it.
