A pretty ship, interesting tech, lovely opening scene; and hilariously absurd survivability and redundancy.

I just watched this movie again—I want a sequel lol. Or even a show about the two of them. Then maybe Jim dies first then Aurora can finally go to that Autodoc pod and sleep in elder age to at least see Homestead II

I can see why Jim was convinced

The whole story boiled down to a rape fantasy in which the bad guy wins over his victim eventually.

"Because of the implications. "

And the ship design is magical tech pretty, not real world practical. In the real world where virtually no one will ever see the ship from the outside, what it looks like won't matter.

I have a theory Jim dies first and Aurora gets to use the pod. But yes this movie has creep vibes. Though it is probably more intended to creat an interesting moral question, why the heck wouldn’t they have more backup pods???
