Then, with the destination in sight, the 2007 film reaches into a different drawer, pulls out a slasher, and spends its final act being chased around the corridors by a monster it did not need. Almost twenty years on, that swerve is still the most discussed thing about the picture, and the argument it started — did the third act ruin <em>Sunshine</em> or merely complicate it? — is worth reopening, because the answer tells you something about how hard science fiction is allowed to end.</p>Wed, 18 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000
