Show Notes
In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we continue our exploration of the space subgenre by looking at two films where humanity must turn to space to survive.
First we discuss Sunshine (2007), Danny Boyle's sci-fi thriller about a mission to reignite the dying Sun.
Then we explore The Wandering Earth (2019), the Chinese blockbuster that imagines humanity moving the entire planet to escape a dying star.
Together these films explore one of science fiction's most dramatic ideas: that the survival of Earth itself may depend on space exploration.
Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time.
Follow the show for deep dives into sci-fi classics, cult favourites and the ideas that shaped the genre.
