it's weird if you think about it, there is no contact with earth for 30 years, originally should be 120 years if nothing went wrong, what value does money even have? are the same currency still used? i think it would be pretty pointless for the ship to charge for its services in the proverbial middle of nowhere of the universe

@@WildaTheDog it would depend on what time they are going off of, if it's 120 years in avalon's frame of reference, at 2/3 light speed, it would mean a gamma factor of roughly 1.33, so the distance is contracted by 1.33, i think the actual distance would be 120 * 2/3c * 1.33 = ~105 light years if they are instead traveling at 1/2 light speed, gamma factor is roughly 1.1547, so real distance is around 120 * 1/2c * 1.1547 = ~69 light years special relativity is weird

Wouldn't it wake up one of the crew who actually knows how to fix the ship and has access to its controls, rather than a passenger with an engineering background who doesn't have that access?

@@rztricky Except the ship/AI had no way of knowing how serious the malfunction was and that it would eventually take two of them to fix it. You can speculate until you are blue in the face or you can just go by what the movie presented and that it was just an accident. Don't know why people take such deep dives into this searching for some other explanation. And don't forget that a major complaint many people had was the fact that he woke up Aurora intentionally without any regard for her life. But in the end it proved that without both of them awake, over 5,000 people would have died.

[@__Wanderer]

Ship should have just woken half the engineering + some of the flight crew to fix it a bit faster :P

[@peterjensen6844]

All of that speculation aside, the AI should have immediately recognized there was a problem when a passenger was awake at this point in the trip. There should have been protocol that woke a crew member in the event of that scenario. The reality is that it wasn't in place because "hibernation failure was impossible" so it was ignored. But even we set aside the hubris of that assumption, that protocol should have been in place for security purposes alone. Someone waking up either by accident or with nefarious purpose puts 5000 lives at stake.

Biggest problem was the psychological drama to bad action genre swap at the end. The movie itself was a risk every step of the way for the writers. To start, writing a scifi? Those RARELY get greenlit and just as rarely look good, choosing that setting was an enormous gamble. Writing a character who will have to act off themselves for the majority of the film... BIG RISK! And making the lead do something utterly detestable but try to make them likeable despite this... Risk. There was also some subject matter that was a risky inclusion with them being touchy subjects (looking at you attempted suicide scene). No, I can't agree with your assessment less.

[@ryanstauffer119]

I don't think this is the only message Jim made. I'm sure he would make more for the people of Earth to know. 'Cause if he didn't keep updating them, they would be left with only that one message knowing that he can't be saved and wondering why his pod malfunctioned. So I think he made a message with Aurora in it to let them know that she's awake and that they are together. That Gus Mancuso also woke up and unfortunately passed away. That they saved the ship. That they would let them know about the tree growing. I'm sure they would let everyone back at Earth know this to let them know they're gonna be okay. Plus, it would give the company preparation for their next voyage to make sure their shield is more protective and that the pods work better. Jim and Aurora would probably say how Arthur is the only machine they can have extensive conversations with. With that, the company would want to make sure that the other machines are AI so they don't keep repeating the same thing like how pods work fine and that they're all in this together. The company will learn from their mistakes. In addition, I'm sure they would do some kind of dedication to them on Earth for their families and friends.

[@kuroroluxifer8321]

Wondering how many centuries/millennia are we from reaching this type of technology.

[@rickbase833]

Which tech? The Avalon able to travel at.5 lightspeed........maybe. Suspending someone perfectly for 120 years....nope.

[@polysci006]

We'll likely never attain this level of technology. For one, traveling at any appreciable fraction of the speed of light is a "mathematically" solvable problem, but it requires extensive (and therefore heavy) shielding on all sides of the ship. The level of cosmic radiation increases dramatically in interstellar space, once you leave the heliosphere. This then requires more mass added to the ship for shielding, which increases the mass of the ship, which makes it more difficult to even reach an appreciable fraction of the speed of light, which requires more size and mass to be added to the ship for propulsion, which further increases the quantity of shielding required... you get the picture.

interest rates for 56 years ?

[@kuroroluxifer8321]

there were over 5000 people...enough to basically create a thriving village and at least a couple generations..those who woke up would've become the grandparents/ great grandparents of those who reached homestead...the only question is if they would've been able to create a source of food and oxygen capable of substaining all those thousands of people for 90 years..iirc the ship only had food for 5000 people for the last 4 months before landing on Homestead 2...it was plenty enough to last 2 people a lifetime, but all the passengers would've needed to grow plants in order for everyone to survive for 90 years.

It's time to wake up.

I think the ship's AI woke Jim up coz it knew way ahead that he was the person to fix the upcoming problem that the ship will face.

I wonder if the ship woke him up because he was an engineer, as it was never really resolved why the chip on his pod failed and why he was the only one. Along with "Why wasn't the captain woken up for manual decisions?" and "Why the hell are Cryopods one use only???"

[@eddcosterton5531]

They made a film about the storyline of one episode of red dwarf

[@yitoproductions]

How is there still food left on the ship? Nobody ever brings this up. The passengers were set to wake up a month before they land, which means they would’ve needed a month’s worth of food for everybody, but Chris and Jennifer were alive in the ship for almost 90 years, which means they would’ve needed 90 years worth of food, which means those 2 alone would’ve used up all that food and water that was meant for everyone when they wake up. They might’ve even died sooner because they ran out and they literally would’ve left nothing for the rest.

[@mikepastor.k6233]

There was 5000 passengers. I'm Sure they would have stored enough food for more than 30 days. In fact, about 60-70 years for 2 passengers shouldn't have put much of a dent in the total supply. Not likey they would be pigs and eat crazy amounts..

[@user-uq1cb7mm1n]

It's programmed to wake up all passengers 4 months before they arrived, so there should be 4 months food supply for 5000 people which is a lot of food. If Chris and Jennifer lived for 90 years they would only comsumed 11% of all the food. Which isn't good news for later wake ups but still acceptable. I've never watch the movie so my question is why aren't there any backup pods?

[@CronasGaming]

@@user-uq1cb7mm1n In they film they explain that there are no backups or protections because there has never been a pod failure before, so they either removed the protections, or never developed them

[@DerpEye]

About food, i imagine the ship just creates it with some kind of 3d printers, using energy and raw materials. So there's plenty of tolerance.

[@mastafull]

It's a luxury ship, so they probably have a lot of extra food reserves so people can get whatever they want. And in the end, you see they were growing their own food from the seeds and saplings they brought along to pollinate the new planet, potentially living a sustainable lifestyle. My question would be, did they have kids and what kid of life would they have? Probably a good idea they left that part open-ended.

[@haircafekevin]

If that ship were going 50 percent the speed of light, that asteroid would've hit with the energy of several thousand nuclear warheads.

[@toomanyaccounts]

why do you think it has a deflector shield?

[@haircafekevin]

The deflector shield failed from the looks of things. The rock still hit the ship.

Not to be a nerd but wouldn't a 2 line text message have a shorter response time than a 2 minute video

[@DoRC]

The problem I have with this concept is it implies that no one ever considered that one of those beds would fail. First of all The ship would know where it is and realize it's not where it's supposed to be. That would almost certainly trigger a contingent of the crew to be awakened to take care of the trouble. Finally there's not a single spare bed anywhere on the ship? That's ridiculous.

[@zuccman968]

Ikr, im an aerospace engineer, and in my experience, everything is overdone. There is just simply no way no one thought to plan for a malfunction, resulting in someone waking up early. Even if it has never happened before.

[@bbranco01]

We mastered installer travel, but not evasive maneuvers

[@kxmode]

There had to be AI somewhere on the ship that recognized it needed a mechanic to help repair the damage, and Jim was chosen. Specifically, targeting his pod wasn't a coincidence.
