50 years into the future, the Sun begins to die, and Earth is dying as a result. A team of astronauts are sent to revive the Sun - but the mission fails. Seven years later, the crew of the Icarus 2 are sent into deep space to reignite the sun, after the failure of the first mission.
It's way cooler than it sounds. It's kind of a homage to movies like Alien, Solaris, and so on. But it's got it's own originality. And awesome special effects. Very beautiful soundtrack, as well. ;D
I like a lot of different styles, but I'm usually not for space-oriented movies. Nor Aliens. Or Zombies. Lol. Generally, I hate every type of horror movies, exept for vampire stories, which I love. I like comedies and romances, but in general I'd say, mostly drama and psychological thrillers. =)
I freaking love psychological thrillers so I'll probably have tons to recommend. Haha. Um, what about... The Machinist? Or Disco Pigs! If you haven't seen either of them I can get you some descriptions! :D
Heehee, yes, it is an amusing name! But both are VERY good movies. ;D
The Machinist Summary: THE MACHINIST is the story of TREVOR REZNIK, a lathe-operator who is dying of insomnia. In a machine shop, occupational hazards are bad enough under normal circumstances; yet for Trevor the risks are compounded by fatigue. Trevor has lost the ability to sleep. This is no ordinary insomnia...
Very strange movie, and makes you think. It stars Christian Bale (who, I should warn, lost a lot of weight to insure the movie was realistic.)
Disco Pigs Summary: Pig and Runt - born on the same day, in the same hospital, moments apart. Twins, all but by blood. Inseparable from birth, they are almost telepathic. They are also partners in crime, with an appetite for recklessness, exploration and destruction. But days before their 17th birthday the perfect balance of their world begins to shift. Pig's sexual awakening and increasing jealousy begins to threaten the private universe they have spent their lives constructing. Unable to contemplate the loss

I recommend.. Hmmmm. Sunshine! It's an amazing independent Sci-Fi by director Danny Boyle, and it has an amazing cast (including Cillian Murphy!). <3

I don't think it's a movie I'd like though *blush*

Well, since that's not exactly your type of movie, is there a type you'd be interested in? I could recommend one more to your liking.
