Sunshine

Hmmm.  If a movie is going to call itself science fiction, shouldn't it have science in it. . . somewhere?   I don't know maybe there is science in the movie but the previews don't relate the fact.  The movie is supposed to be about a group from Earth that sets out to re-ignite the Sun. 

Problem number one.  The Sun is not on fire.  You can't just throw a match on it. 

Problem number two.  Our sun will, slowly over the next few billion years, turn into a red giant.  This will destroy the ability of the Earth to support life, if not destroy the Earth completely. 

Basically the sun just can't go out.  Even if it did, we couldn't "light it back up again."  The concept of this movie is silly at best. 

All I have seen are previews, so if I have some plot point wrong, let me know.
