[@ramlydiosa]

Ok so heres how it happened as I understood it They were travelling faster than light while they were in hyperlight (which in theory is, that their time is going backwards but the causal of things still play out as normal time. This is how Relativity plays out. For them, time is still running forward but an outside observer sees their time running backwards) So the 1st Solis arrived there, sent out a distress signal, which was picked up by the 2nd Solis (which was still in backwards time, inside the hyperlight). The difference of the one outside of the hyperlight and the one inside it is 2 hours. In essence it was like "they arrived there 2 hrs before they were actually there". Its like sending a telephone call from the future them to be picked up by their past themselves. So back to the normal time. The first Solis is intact but then Emiliana was killed as per the guy's statement. Which made him alive and Emiliana dead in that ship. The second Solis arrived but for some reason it exploded and as protocol, the computer sent them out into space. Emiliana saves herself and her Phillip and went aboard the first Solis where only Philip was alive. Since the 2 Philips are in the same time line, only the one in normal time is awake and the other one was in a state of superposition (dead and alive at the same time) Only when she killed the future Philip did time collapse to create the reality in which both people were alive There was no time loop but a "wrinkle in time". When the first Solis was supposed to have a part of it exploded (which killed Emiliana and kept Philip alive) the second Solis picked up the same event in time but played out a different future. In that future, Emiliana and Philip survived while their ship did not. The future Philip (alive) and the present Philip (in superposition) existed on the same timeline. As long as the future Philip is alive, the other Philip will be in a state of superposition because his version of the future should be different from the other. Only when the future Philip was killed that the wrinkle it time was ironed out. Its as if the other future did not exist at all.

[@Statutum]

Amazing analysis, but one thing that irks me, I think the explosion that killed the original Emilia, was the second ship arriving, the beacon from that event would still hit a ship in "negative" time, or behind time - So, it's a weird scenario, and I could be wrong, but I'd love to think I'm right.

these are neat but they're not at the level of our top films. these are 3rd world quality. while they're inventive and sort of slick, they are still amateur and while they seem to know what they WANT to do, they don't know how to really make it. the big companies use server farms and have techniques that aren't available on google. it takes serious finesse and there are special techniques that... are not present here when it come to CG. this is like... really great "sci-fi channel" material but no better. this is NOT billion dollar box office hit; only sophomore level where senior would be graduate, but um...

They do not reproduce. They don't have any reproduction structures in them on their own.

[@101perspective]

Okay, this is my best guess at what is going on here... someone tell me if I'm even close. I think it was the broken down ship that actually traveled in time. That is why Phil was shocked to hear the date and time. Emeliana's 2 hour difference, however, lines up pretty well with the "current" time. So, that means the first ship had a malfunction that not only brought them out of FTL but also sent them back in time. They send out a signal which by pure coincidence is picked up by themselves prior to breaking down, etc. That earlier version picks up the signal and heads to the broken down ship. When they get into proximity of the other ship, the same matter in/near the same space takes effect with the older ship (the broken down one) getting "priority". This causes the younger ship to malfunction and explode... but not before their pods can be ejected by the computer. The explosion kills the older Emeliana which wakes the younger one up in the pod. She rescues her Phil. Once on the ship it becomes clear what has happened. When she goes to do repairs she discovers that the ship isn't going anywhere. They are pretty much stranded there for what will probably be an extremely long time. This leaves Emeliana with a hard choice. Leaving her Phil in a coma state isn't realistic. It wastes resources and... well, he has no hope of ever recovering as long as the older Phil is still near and alive. And we know she doesn't see the older Phil as being "her" Phil by the way she comforts him on his loss of "his" Emeliana. So, she makes the hard choice to kill him so she can get her Phil back. Once she does that, they basically just live out their lives on the ship until hopefully they some day get rescued. Btw, there is no time "loop" or anything like that. They basically just created a kind of rewrite of the timeline. Some might see it as a paradox. However, if you view time travel as just you moving from your reality to an alternate past reality, then altering yourself in that past would have no actual effect on you personally... it would just alter the normal course of the alternate reality version of you.

[@gg5115]

No, the malfunction sent the ship, still one ship at this point, forward in time, leaving itself behind in the current timeline. The forward in time version of the ship, of course, got there early, whereupon it issued a distress call. Which is picked up by themselves, only 2 hours behind. Brilliant. But of course that can't be right if he loved her in one reality but not the other. I think the story mixes some premises. In the end it falls back on the multiverse, which is too easy in a sci-fi plot. So I guess, the two ships from similar but different universes happened to be in the same place, 'at the same time', or within 2 hours, which is enough to cause a temporal dichotomy. One that causes chips to explode and people to sort of die. How was it that necrosis and cell death didn't occur? What exactly was keeping his heart from beating again? All the components of the ship are intact, yet apparently complicated electronics malfunction to the point of blowing your ship up.. Meh. Still loved it. It takes quality sci-fi to get a nerd like me to break out the intellect to poke holes in it. Can't believe I'm just now discovering these people.

Holy shit. It's not time travel, it's dimension-hopping! Into a universe that isn't perfectly time-aligned. The realities converse and make a new reality. Their clothes are different. The dead versions weren't romantically involved like the two who survived in the end. Her Philip was experiencing the Schrodinger's cat experiment, 'alive but not', for why he was in stasis and his vitals couldn't be read.

[@krussell89]

You're so spot on. It's Dimension-hopping. I've had dreams of doing this and in one dream I worked for a secret government organization called Quantum Dynamics. We were trying to experiment with time travel but accidently found dimension travel instead. Weird thing about this is, I googled said company and it actually exists. It's a government contractor since 2002, and part of their funding goes to a group called Dimensions International. Mind blown! They claim they're in communications, but now I'm really freaked out.

I think the movie shows that humans can be even colder and more calculating than the machines. Everyone is wondering why Ada is such a lame voice assistant, but actually Ada was more human than Emilianna giving her a warning before she sent Philip into the space. And looking how Emilianna hugs him in the end, I am pretty sure she would take another scary rational decision, if the situation changes. Philip is never safe with this girl.

[@greg3087]

Not alternate universes but different times I think. They were relying on the old time cop rule of not being in the same place at the same time. She was from the past where they were together. He was from the future when they had split. I’m really surprised he didn’t guard himself a little better.

Wow. The opening scene with the escape pods floating out in space over the planet was very cool. If you have ever been in an MRI machine, you know how it feels to be in something like that. I did not know i was claustrophobic till i had to go into one. Like a coffin! I lasted about 20 seconds and had to abort. No can do. Thank God they make open side ones now that are not nearly as bad. You have not experienced unreasoning fear till you see a wall 2" from your face for an extended period. The nurse told me 1 out of 5 refuse to go in them by this unreasoning fear. Stranger still, mostly men more than women are affected. I had a job as a foreman taking asbestos off steam generators at a nuclear power plant and had a man freak out because he had on a full paper suit and respirator. I had to hold him down to keep him from ripping his mask off in a confined space full of dust. He completely lost it. We rushed him up the ladder just in time. I can tell you i could not go into one of those rescue buoys that confining. I would rather perish where i can have full body movement first. No kidding.

And by the airlock Amelia says something about “Whatever she did, I’m sorry”, and he answers “He’s going to find out”. That has the be the reason that they don’t get along, right? So I think he finds out (maybe even kills Amelia because of it), and then the cycle repeats?

Some theorize that faster than light (FTL) travel would actually cause the travelers to go backward in time. The original ship begins FTL, then two hours before they are supposed to stop, they exit FTL in response to a distress signal. The paradox here is that they actually end up marooned with their future selves, not their past selves. I guess this works if FTL transports you to the future. Regardless of the implications for the physics, very entertaining and thought provoking.

[@SirThreepio]

It doesn't stand for physics or even logic. It is too human emotion centered. One might say the very strong will of the astronauts modeled some part of the story or just made them see things closer to their will. Even that is not SF but FF.

[@aaront950]

Faster than light speed doesn't mean you traveled forward or backwards in time it only means you traveled faster than the light to the position in space that you're in at the moment and you wouldn't duplicate because you would be in faster-than-light travel so your structure would just be traveling fast it wouldn't necessarily split in two different people or a different timeline all together you're just traveling fast there are things far faster than light actually the word fast doesn't describe the workings any kind of speed description doesn't describe how things work

Nah, not possible, because that means the loops would all take place in this specific reality, meaning that the bodies, duplicate ship debris, and everything else would end up piling up after a while, however millions of loops that would take, and would break the cycle.

[@JSchroederee]

Fun plot device but I’m having trouble with the concept that when two versions of the same person from different timelines (?realities?) share the same timeline, one goes into a suspended coma like state, while the other lives. Is there only one “soul” to go around or something?

[@astaroth0316]

I suppose that "soul" could be the information an arrage of particles have, in that way the same person body won't be the same as their corpse. At the end nobody knows because that part of physics nowadays are only theoretical approximations no science yet.

[@mitchmoore5256]

I think the idea has to do with Einstein's theories of relativity, specifically time distortions. The concept of FTL travel means that you experience time much slower than everyone else (potentially even negative time?) And so there could be two of the same people in the future calling for a distress beacon and the past selves catching up to the prior's timeline and that would break the assumptions that you only exist in one place at any time. And a "theoretical" answer to the paradox is that the existence of one of them is "suspended" until the paradox is no longer present. This perceived concept would also introduce infinite loops and breaks in time. One take on the subject

[@cyclo9]

Well you see, two thing can't exist in the same time and place in the same state.

[@JSchroederee]

Aidan L. I just have some issue with the only conflicting duplicate ‘state’ being life or consciousness. Presumably there were lifeboat escape-pods from in both timelines, wouldn’t the pods from the 2nd timeline be inert? Seems like it’s more of a spiritual conflict than a physics based issue. Once again a fun plot device though.

@@JSchroederee The pods in the 1st timeline aren't active (Presumably they're sitting inert on the ship somewhere), so the 2nd set are able to work, right?... That sounds physics-based to me.

[@Peizxcv]

This is not a temporal loop. To be a loop the new ship have to be the one that survived, not the old ship. The plot try to make it like a temporal loop but they didn't work out the timelines (like most bad sci-fi). Lets work out the events on both ship. OLD SHIP: FTL drive damaged, distress signal broadcasted, girl outside and killed by debris and guy out airlock. NEW SHIP: ship exploded, pod launched, girl and guy on old ship and both survived. The events clearly are not the same and nothing on the old ship can cause another -2h ship to appear and kill the girl because the -2h ship already arrived and exploded. To make it a temporal loop, the new ship have to be the one that survived without the crew knowing a loop happened.

[@justmyusername9209]

they already said they had to try to repair the drive again, so they are in the same situation. If the girl now goes out to try to fix it and dies again and the another new ship comes through and is destroyed - then the girl with the knowledge of the loop is dead. Simultaneously the new new guy will go into a near lifeless coma because of the other guy being there, who has only just come out the coma himself (and therefore had not yet learnt about the timeloop and will be just as shocked as the previous guy was to disocover a comatose doppleganger and a new living shipmate that he thought he had just seen die). So no one will actually know about the time loop in this scenario either.

[@justmyusername9209]

as for the "new" ship already being destroyed, i guess it really depends on the rules this sci fi is playing by and whether it involves merely crossing time or also crossing alternate realities/parallel universes

[@Silverizael]

@@justmyusername9209 Except it all takes place in a single reality, meaning dead bodies, ship pieces, and more would end up piling up. A time loop isn't feasible, unless each installment of it involves traveling to a new reality.
