10 Best Movies Where Everyone Dies

When the sun starts to die after being infected with dark matter, Earth suffers the consequences. The threat of a new ice age looms over our planet's head, and it's up to one advanced space craft, Icarus, loaded with astronauts and a nuclear bomb that they intend to drop into the sun to reignite it. They fail, and then it's up to another special crew aptly titled Icarus II seven years later - can't have been in that much of a rush then.

As a Danny Boyle film, Sunshine is of course tense, gritty, and atmospheric - warping from a science fiction thriller into a slasher movie when the Icarus II discovers its predecessor floating through space and decides to board. With the old captain having gone insane and having sabotaged his ship, he attempts to do the same to the Icarus II and its crew - and succeeds, but not before the bomb is decoupled from the doomed spacecraft, allowing it to be flown into the sun manually.

Of course, this results in the death of the entire crew, and our audience experience of 'everyone'. For the sake of the earth surviving and the sun itself being bought back to life, I'd say it was probably worth it, even if it is upsetting that it was entirely unnecessary - they could have avoided this all entirely by not having an abandoned ship pit-stop in the middle of space. Have they not seen Alien? Event Horizon? Played Dead Space? Jeez.
