Science fiction movie review: Sunshine - space - 15 March 2007 - New Scientist Space:

It is 2057, and you're being sent on a mission to the Sun, to save our ailing star from imminent death. Probably the one name you shouldn't give your spaceship in this circumstance is Icarus, after the mythical Greek boy who died after flying too close to the Sun.

So, when we find ourselves aboard Icarus II at the start of director Danny Boyle's glittering new film Sunshine, we pretty well know that the mission won't go as planned.
