Sunshine [2007]

[spidey99]

great movie, acting is not that good, but it is ok...

They "jump" from Icarus1 and wrap themselves in foil? Gimmie a break.... the space vacuum would have killed them the moment the air lock was opened.

Nope, it wouldn't.

I agree on it not being a great film, though.

[Skiz]

Nope, it wouldn't.

I was only commenting on what I've learned by watching NASA documentaries. But what do they know?

[Snee]

Apparently not enough, given that it's pretty much common knowledge a person can last around a minute in hard vacuum, depending on his or her physique and so forth. Wouldn't be pleasant, and they wouldn't get out of it unscathed, and they'd only get somewhere between five and fifteen seconds before passing out.

Can't remember the scene now, but I think Sunshine might have had that particular bit right

The whole bit with people exploding or freezing instantly is all Hollywood.

EDit: What NASA was that, again?
EDitII: My numbers were slightly off wrt remaining conscious, it's not between ten and twenty, it's between five and fifteen seconds.

Interesting.

Extreme cold burning your skin. Simultaneously, the UV radiation is cooking it. Sunburned within 10 seconds. Immense pressure on your skin as it stretches. Saliva begins to boil almost instantly.

You won't die instantly but you'd wish you had.

All right then.
Based on this thread I reserved Sunshine and finally got it yesterday.

Haven't really processed the experience yet but...

Spoiler: Show

How did the Icarus 1's deranged captain get into the Icarus 2?

I'll probably reskim the film to see what else I missed.

I will say that the DVD has absolutely the worst "extras" I've run into so far.
Maddeningly arranged and divided and not terribly interesting.
