This movie would have been more interesting if Jim woke a girl up. Have his fun with her, then

Only wake up one girl, that make no sense.

A disturbing love story wrapped into a sci\fi wrapper. Without the sci\fi the love story would likely be rejected as creepy.

Yah but Jennifer Lawrence is looking good so...? eh?

This movie is like titanic for the people who want relationship drama AND have been clobbered in the head so hard they forgot what good writing was or how science worked.

Shame on you! I love this movie!

I remember when I first heard about this movie and thought I was going to love it, then the trailer came out :( , then the movie came out :((.

the one thing that really bugged me was the tear on chris pratts face while he was floating in outer space. that thing just dropped like on earth...

Keep saying to yourself, "it's only a movie. It's only a movie."

I loved the movie. I enjoyed that they used a realistic propulsion system Nuclear (not the fictional Warp core). I enjoyed they didn't use gravity plates which no one has any idea how to create but used centrifugal force instead. The water scene was realistic in how the water behaved without gravity. If you watch NASA TV as I do you will see the same action with water on the ISS. The acting was top notch. Especially, how she reacted to finding out that she was woken up early. Special effects were great. The best film in 2016!

the moment the movie started and the asteroid field showed up i was like BULLSHIT! but i let all those technical details slide. the point of this movie wasn't to make a realistic sci fi movie. the giant luxury noah's ark in the trailer should have made this pretty clear. the main focus was the human component. and i really liked the first half of the movie when chris pratt has to deal with being alone. he's in near isolation, aside from the android and has no human interaction. this would drive people insane. michale stevens from vsauce did a video about isolation where he locked himself away in a room for 3 days with nothing to do and no one to talk to. by the end of the first day he had lost all sense of time and his circadian rhythm was way off, and in two days he started to lose some basic cognition. it's pretty interesting. and chris pratt's character fights through this for a year, trying to resist the urge to wake someone else while fighting off severe depression and possibly dementia. keep in mind this character is not an austronaut. he's not trained to be in isolation for long. he's just a regular technician. and although he had plenty of things to distract himself with, without someone else to share it with, it's just becomes repetitive and boring. i loved that aspect of the movie. experiencing extreme isolation is something we don't often get to experience and i think they made a fairly decent job portraying that.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the Expanse series!

If you want a good story about someone waking up early in a damaged STL colony spacecraft light years from its destination, read

Alone on a luxury interstellar MegaYacht with Jenifer and an awesome RoboTender!! Just the thought is great.

Even if the gravity is generated somehow, rather than being the result of the ship spinning, a huge volume of water isn't going to surge out of the pool because the gravity has failed. Its natural tendency is to stay where it is.

This is one of those sad situations in cinema, where the movie was bad, and it didn't need to be. Some minor (very minor) tweaks and this would have actually been a great movie.

The best part is where he blocks vented fusion with an airlock door and lives.

Sorry but doesn't the speed of a star relative to the trajectory of the spaceship enable a slingshot manoever? AFAIK stars are NOT fixed in the universe.

What about the plasma from the fusion core venting in to space and him standing there with his arm out? Or with a door to (partially) shield himself? The whole reason fusion reactors need a magnetic field to keep the plasma in check is because it burn through pretty much anything it touches extremely fast. So his space suit is able to resist plasma but the ship isn't? Doesn't make sense...

A major plot element is that some embedded computer in the reactor control system failed, and the other computers across the ship needed to compensate. What? Really, you're going to use the CPU of some wirelessly connected roving robot for containment of the fusion process?
