[@gregachard6375]

yep indeed , but if you look close to the film you see mistakes : for exemple here the stars outside not "turning" 1:50" or later in the film like gravity desactivating whereas this is centrifugal force or the gravity turning in the elevators , should gradual to zero until the middle where the fusion should be ( and again when they repair it there is gravity :D OR the main hall upside down , they should be attracted to the glass pannels of the "roof"

Grossly underrated Movie, The special effects were marvelous, The actors chemistry was on point and the story was very good. The true star of the show for me was definitely "The Avalon" itself.

[@sherpajones]

I have to deduct points for a story that includes a very creepy romantic plot. I will draw from the plot of SpaceCamp (1986) where kids in a NASA space camp get to sit in the shuttle for an engine firing test. Max earlier befriends a small droid who hears Max feeling really sad that he can't actually go to space. The droid wants to make Max happy, so during the test, he deactivates the thermal curtain that protects the SRB's from igniting. NASA detects the problem and has no choice but to go for full launch or watch the shuttle with the kids and instructor blow up on the pad. Obviously they go for launch but on a vehicle that isn't mission ready and lacks a full complement of oxygen and a full comm system. Avalon had some AI droids. He befriended the bartender, who later spilled the beans to her. The plot could have had him constantly confiding in the bartender how lonely he is, and eventually the bartender finds a way to open her pod, after doing some deep compatibility algorithms to choose her. When the deck officer wakes up, he thinks he finds evidence that the guy tampered with her pod, but later the bartender owns up to it. Still a lot of tension, but we don't have to paint the main guy as a creep.

As an avid astronomy enthusiast, in both the scholarly and hobby departments, as well as having read numerous books on the subject matter, not just pertaining to factual physics but also science fiction/theoretical applications, space colonization, etc..., I can tell you that they achieved the opening spot on! Space is uncertain. It's a war-zone. Constantly changing, shifting, and pulling away. Nothing in space is ever stagnant! The Avalon is probably the best and realistic rendition of what spaceships in the future will look like. Not geometric, ie: Star Wars. That's just fantasy without applied science to back it up. But Passengers, I wholeheartedly give it two thumbs way up. It goes without saying that even the mechanics applied in the piloting and maintenance of the craft were done well. Sure, robots may one day be able to pilot them in the future as some commentators here have raised the question, but robots themselves, without a proper power source will need to be maintained in order to assure self-sufficiency. The Avalon of future Earth in this particular movie may have/function on supplemental power sources which haven't been detailed to us the viewers in maintaining its particular self-sufficiency and course trajectory to ensure the mission will endure the entirety of its 120 year course. I'm talking about harnessing dark matter/energy as a backup to the main propulsion drive. Or feeder generator whose conducting capabilities are beyond our understanding at present moment. At half the speed of light, roughly about 93,250 miles per second, which is mentioned in the movie, I highly doubt that conventional power sources would be able to help propel the Avalon enough to aid it in attaining this velocity.

[@sherpajones]

I really love the details, especially the plasma injected over a magnetic field to superheat debris into plasma and deflect it magnetically. It feels like something we could actually do with modern technology. The gravity is a bit problematic, but it places it within the realm of our best possible solutions right now. Fusion generators are just out of reach for us, and we might be looking at some sort of advanced ion propulsion or nuclear rocket engines. I love how the command bridge rotates faster than the habitat to maintain the same gravity, as it is closer to the rotational axis. This to me explains the rotation of the overall ship slowing due to loss of power, as the faster rotation of the bridge would act against the overall rotation of the ship. The engines themselves would need to drive the main rotation, while the bridge rotation would be driven by motors. Loss of engines =/= loss of all power, and the bridge motors could have ran for some time, bringing the effect of gravity down really fast. Not sure how gravity was supposed to work in the engineering section though.

The movie itself on the other hand - from a critics standpoint - was slightly mediocre with many filmic cliches and elements that can't hold up to scientific scrutiny. But overall, it was enjoyable enough to get through in its entirety without wanting skip scenes or turn off the tv, which is a surprise because I wasn't expecting very much from a J-LAW flick.

[@spaceflight1019]

The designers never expected a failure of the diagnostic system. Go back to the movie "Alien". While we later learned that it was pre-programmed to do so, the first thing that MU-TH-UR did was to wake up the crew upon receiving the beacon signal. I would think that the Avalon AI would have been programmed with an event list that would have woken the Captain and the Engineers. If not for serendipity then no one would have been awakened. Why didn't Gus wake them up as soon as possible?

[@sherpajones]

A few things that bothered me about the ship is that there was no cryo facility at all, and no AI protocol to wake the command crew if an emergency could not be resolved by the AI. You could wake the crew, have them solve the problem, and then use the cryo facility to go back to sleep. You aren't waking 5,000 people. The medical bed could put someone in cryo, yet there was only one. So why couldn't all the crew have a specialized cryo pod that could do the same funcion? And why was there not a contingency plan in case there was an unexpected cryo failure? A way for a passenger to call for help/wake the crew? There was nothing in place for this even small chance occurrence. Love the navigational deflector though. Appears to be superheated plasma injected ahead of a powerful magnetic field. Matter colliding with the shield is superheated into plasma and diverted magnetically. But what about cosmic rays? I wonder what kind of hull construction and/or radiation shielding is used?

The best music and movie i love this movie

[@ThunderfallFilms]

Finally a movie that portrays a spaceship in the darkness of interstellar space. In Star Trek, they are always brightly lit up by a nearby star, even when it makes no sense

[@GOD999MODE]

Such a good intro. It's a shame the movie didn't turn out as great as we thought it would.

[@salax44]

speak for yourself

[@mechanicalengineer7610]

Its not shame ob the but on the humans who hadnt watch this movie yet

[@swistakowy]

Can we thank enough the composer of this masterpiece, Mr Thomas Newman for immersing us in the deep space from minute one?

[@marvelgram9610]

1:00 to 1:30 I feel like I am going on a endless journey to a new world!!!

[@OneStream_Pro]

What a visualisation...!!!! and the graphics makes it more realistic.

[@alavallee13]

If only the rest of the film had been this well done.

[@adaocardosoneto9120]

Mas o filme foi bem feito, só não é possível agradar á todo fã que não intende oque cada coisa quer dizer.

[@joesycamore2899]

It was. The film is beautiful.

Para quem gosta de ciência, oque mais impressionou e emocionou foi á nave e o escudo de átomo ou Escudo de bohr

[@alavallee13]

Apoligies, should have said the if only the story was as well done as this opening sequence

[@cbspock1701]

I loved all the design work and the score

[@AsifAAli]

I just love this part.

[@flashkraft]

I like how they tell a story with a Graphic User Interface.

Thomas Newman. Responsible for some of the best film music of our time. Of course, with Hans Zimmer.

[@doublebassful]

sound and picture in this scene are great

[@x.n.s.x]

dude, the starship avalon travels at the 50% speed of light…...OMG!!!!

[@aarongreenfield9038]

@@slyack. That is blazingly fast, especially for something with mass, the problem is space is just so damned big. Even reaching our sun would take 16 minutes.

@@aarongreenfield9038 or as they say "Infinity" which is hard to believe since the big bang was just a couple billion years ago and matter isnt drifting away that fast almost people tend to believe (i mean you could still call it infinity but i define "space" with either matter or antimatter and (see above) so i cant call it infinity in my field of view.)

[@aarongreenfield9038]

@@zaku2552. Our observable universe is not infinite, but the universe as a whole is infinite. Our universe is a mere speck of a bubble in the infinite foam multiverse.

That's approx 93,000 miles per second. Or three and a half times around the Earth in one second velocity. Doesn't give much time to react to an approaching object by swerving out of the way.

[@jsgold2000]

Bingo!

[@TexasDevin]

I appreciate that the first full minute of this video clip was production company credits.

[@opgupta5218]

I loved that music

[@elpinche7208]

Beautiful intro music for a space movie. MUCH LOVE

[@walidzein1]

we would have had this starship exist today if it wasn't for all these wars and nonsense humans have gone through

[@efone3553]

I love the interior design of the spaceship. Getting stuck there sounds like fun to me and with Jennifer lawrence OMG.
