I think this is the first announcement of Sunshine anywhere
(Japan of all places, the usually last place for new movies to be released)

Saw it in the theater. yes, it's a 2001/Event Horizon/Alien mishmash......
Not original, but fun stuff.

I thought it was quite good. Certainly the most beautiful sci-fi flick I've seen

The UK play.com date is 8/27/2007.
No special features listed, but most likely the same as the Japanese.
DTS......?

the reviews have been very varied - some excellent, some bad.

Danny Boyle is one of the few directors in my book that can do no wrong. I'm definitley psyched for this.

Same here
