A better (and more interesting) ending would have been Jim proposing to Aurora and after she says yes, he pours the sedatives Gus didn't use into her champagne glass. She loses consciousness and he puts her into the pod.
He sacrifices himself for her. She wakes up at the end of the movie arriving at Homestead II.
No, he'd be controlling her life again. He's letting her make the choice of how she wants to live her life this time.
sharebut jim was her true love.........as aurora friend on earth said, no matter where she went she would not be happy......but she was happy with jim
this movie is underrated, it goes deeper than most folks realize
I think I'd rather the ship smash into a giant asteroid and everyone has the same fate, than deal with another heart-wrenching twist like this.
shareOr they could of jacked the autodoc somehow and both gone into hibernation in each other's arms.
shareEither one would have worked well. The movie is just trying to be a hokey romance and it works on that level.
I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/LE_aVVuNqnE
"Or they could of jacked the autodoc somehow and both gone into hibernation in each other's arms"
Bang on the money. That's exactly what I was thinking/hoping would happen.
I kept saying why don't they both just squeeze in there at the same time?? But no, it had to be the Jack and Rose thing we're only Rose fit on the door LOL.
shareNot better.
She had the power now to make her choice. Let her make it this time. Don't you remember when Jim made the decision for her the first time?
The weak spot with this movie is that there is no contingency for defective pods. Design engineers for such a craft would have calculated the risk and accommodated backup pods if needed, even if they need 100 of them.
In this movie there wasn't even one. If the young couple could convert patrs of the ship into a self sustainable eco-system with growing plants and animals the actual desig engineers could have built more pods.
