The perfect ending for this movie would have been that he dies. There's a montage of her living alone (as he had). She doesn't just sympathize now, but now can empathize. The last scene is her standing over a pod of another passenger - faced with same choice that he had. That would have deepened the meaning of the movie and would have engaged the audience to think about not only what they themselves would do, but also how do we make impossible decisions. How, or should, or can we judge the actions of others when faced with extraordinary circumstances ? Would have made it so much more interesting.

[@moabman6803]

No need for him to die. When she begins do drown she understands what he went through.

[@bronco5334]

I don't get why anyone thinks he was "wrong" in the first place. The ship was obviously failing. You need a workforce of more than one to fix it- and even if only one CAN do it, there is no failsafe; if there is only one person awake, but they die in an accident fixing the ship, there is no one to continue the work and they all die. It's already well established early in the film that he cannot access the crew quarters and cannot wake a crew member. About the only thing he might have done "better" is to research the other passenger's educational and work histories to find the one most qualified to help fix the ship. Assuming he could even access that kind of information.

So Imagine being asleep on the Avalon for 100 years but 30 years into your voyage someone on Earth invents hyperspace travel where now you can get to Homestead 2 in 1 year not 100. Well you are on the Avalon and when you get there people have been there long before you.

This is referred to as the Lightspeed Leapfrog trope in sci-fi.

Utterly fascinating read.

Part of the backstory for the Star Kingdom of Manticore in the Honor Harrington books. I don't recall if David Weber ever wrote stories about landing, there are some references though.

[@Sashazur]

There’s an old sci fi short story called Far Centaurus that is exactly this idea. By the time the first travelers get to their destination star after years of hibernation, humans invent warp and have already colonized the whole place. You can read it free online. It was written in the 1940s so it’s probably the first example of this trope.

[@mikespangler98]

Thought provoking movie. As for the fail-safe hibernation pods, they are fail safe. Jim was ejected from a malfunctioning pod alive and well. Gus was ejected from a pod with multiple failures alive, but not well. Still, if he gotten straight down to medical the auto doc might have been able to save him. The other interesting thing was that the ship's life support system was operational. It could well have been filled with pure nitrogen to prevent corrosion or decay of the organic materials of construction. The food supply could have been off. Water systems drained and inactive. Etc. And yet it's all setup for a person to survive for decades. Did the company know a pod could fail? And why was the crew quarters impregnable? Did they not want a woke up early person endangering the crew they would need at end of the trip?

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

Always Has Been.

[@randybaumery5090]

I would imagine that you'd need a human back up crew to ensure everything goes okay as in Avatar. In fact,in one movie they would wake up other sleepers in shirfts , so as to not age too quickly and not go too stir crazy.

[@ryang2573]

You're absolutely right. From an engineering perspective, the more systems you have running, the more likely it is that something will go wrong, and the more energy you will end up pointlessly using. Realistically, any craft capable of interstellar travel over vast periods of relative time would have to be on a tight energy budget as there exists no means of getting more fuel until they arrive. Even a single LED lightbulb drawing just 5W left on for 90 years would consume roughly 3.9 MWh. That said, every other aspect of this movie is so well-done that I can handwave away such concerns with minimal effort. For example, it could be the case, relative to the plasma shield and continuous burn engines, that the life support and hotel functions impose a relatively negligible cost that is easily accommodated by the fusion reactor. Keeping the ship oxygenated would also be important in the event that crew had to be woken up prematurely to deal with some catastrophe. All of the non-essential functions could also be operating in a low-power standby mode until human activity was detected. (I want to believe this is the case for Arthur's sake as it strikes me as cruel to have a sapient AI, built to give humans company, would be left active and conscious for decades for no reason.)

I can't recall the last time I've seen a big budget Hollywood film that told a proper Science-Fiction story like this one. Most films calling themselves Science-Fiction these days are really just adventure stories that happen to be set in the future (not that that's necessarily a bad thing). A true Science-Fiction story is one that has all of the following elements: 1. Some central ethical or moral question that is posed. 2. The fictional technologies shown facilitate, or directly enable, that question to exist - they don't exist simply for aesthetics. 3. The question is thoroughly explored by the protagonist and supporting characters. If there is an antagonist, or foil, for the protagonist, their job is explore the "cons" to the protagonist's "pros". 4. There is enough space in the narrative for the reader/viewer to ask themselves what they would do. The author refrains from sermonizing or clearly indicating what he thinks the 'correct' answer is.
