As far as I'm aware, there are no trailers for this over the pond yet. It came out on Friday here in England, though, and it's pretty amazing. It's about a mission sent to the dying sun to re-ignite it with a special bomb with the mass of Manhattan Island (Okay, so it's a little pseudo-science). It's directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) and conjures images of Dark Star, 2001 and Silent Running.

It's visually stunning, and personally I loved it. It was very divisive in the group I saw it with, though. There are a couple of points where you just have to accept the physics even if they're not really correct, but really it's less about that than a character study of loneliness and a closeness to something so powerful it may as well be God, and what happens if you're left in that environment far longer than planned.

Oi.  Sounds trippy.  Might have to give this one a look.

I saw the trailer for this a while ago.  It looks somewhat interesting.
