It’s a science fiction movie staring Cillian Murphy and a whole lot of other names you know. It’s the future and the sun is cooling off. So there’s a second mission to the sun to drop a bomb into it to get it going again. It turns out the first mission just sort of failed an no one’s sure what happened to it. So this is the last chance to get this right. And they shouldn’t be distracted by a distress signal from the first ship because Earth depends on it. You can guess what happens though.
Weltall then has Limitless[2011]. It’s a movie about a writer who sucks and can’t stick to anything. His life is a shambles until he gets ahold of drugs.

Also he ends up inadvertently causing an accident that cost Michael Ironside an arm. Which might be contributing to his life going downhill even faster than it already was.
