How was Sunshine (2007) made on a 23 million dollar budget?!

I finally watched Sunshine, and what draws me automatically outside of the story and plot are the visuals. It has to be one of, if not the most, gorgeous films I have ever seen.

Which brings me to the point. HOW DOES IT LOOK SO GOOD? I initially was very impressed when I saw the year it was made, and that was when I assumed it had a 200+ million dollar budget. But this thing was made 13 years ago, on a budget that doesn't even get you a single actor these days?

Did the director time travel or something? I need to know whats happening here.
