Sunshine could have worked better if it added a story element and took one away.
I would have loved to see more of the people back on Earth, and their reaction to the important space mission. This element wouldn't have had to take up a major chunk of the film; just a little piece to show a glimpse of the sentiments back at home, and to put everything into a larger emotional context.

And I would have loved to see less of Mr. Angry Blurry Man! Oh why, Mr. Angry Blurry Man... Why... Why did you even have to exist? Why did you feel the need to add unnecessary frustration to an already frustrating predicament. "God told me this and that! I'm angry! I want to kill you! I'm so crazy you can't even get a clear look at me! Roar!" That's not an exact quote, but whatever.
*** spoiler end ***.
Despite a few annoyances, Sunshine is good enough to see at least once.
