Hi - I made copyedits as I go (please revert if I inadvertently changed the meaning) and jotted queries below: Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:17, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Sunshine explores physics, science and religion - err, ok. sentence a bit short. Might flow better if fleshed out a little....

Preceding its initial screening to the public, the film was generally met with positive critical reviews, but was not considered a box office success. - why is the "preceding" segment here? Surely both items are not dependent on that...?

After completion of filming for Sunshine, Boyle said [that he would not revisit the science fiction genre, citing] production as a spiritually exhausting experience - can remove the bracketed bit as is stated again in next sentence. Or remove the latter instead.

The director had also received advice that there would be advanced space programs with India and Brazil, but the advice was overlooked to avoid creating a cast that was too disparate - "overlooked" an odd choice, "ignored" or "not taken up" better

Okay I wanna know...what is the alternative ending? Can slot in nicely after discussion of it....

This was partly due to "disputes" between the lawyers of Underworld and Fox Searchlight. - why the quotes? choose another word (to distance from source) and dequote

Did anyone talk about the sun-worship of two of the characters? Also the supernatural quality of the Icarus I captain?

Overall a good read. Not too much work required...
