Jennifer Lawrence should've crashed the ship into a nearby sun in order to bring swift justice to the space rapist. It would've killed everyone else onboard and scrapped humanity's only shot at a new life in space, but it would've been a real "yas kween" moment for me, the person who hates movies and can't abide anything even approaching drama

Agree.

"Space Rapist" would also be a badass title for some B-grade horror!

I think the ending of the movie should have been Chris Pratt dies saving the ship and Jlaw would be faced with the same choice to wake up someone up for companionship or spend the rest of her life alone and have the movie close with her looking at another capsule.

Same, he's fun in small doses, not as a lead.

He was the least convincing main character in Guardians and that's including the cartoon raccoon and tree person

The entire point of the whole movie is that once thawed, you can't get refrozen. Why is it then a major point of the film that JLaw is the first person to book a round trip? How are they going to refreeze her for the return trip? They haven't got the facility to do it on the ship (obviously) and the planet they're going to is billed as some unspoiled new start deal that is unlikely to have the incredible-only-available-on-Earth freezing tech.

Eh, I enjoyed it for what it was, but the last 25 minutes were lazy as hell.

he deserved to be eaten by those rat creatures or the big snakes because he intentionally hobbled his situational awareness with headphones while in a hazardous environment.

I think the 2 can't refreeze on the ship because presumably it's complicated and they don't know/can't wake up whoever is competent to do it

This is literally the ending I was pulling for ever since Chris woke her up. THAT would be serious Sci Fi right there.

heres a fun fact for your forum:

In "The Friends of Voltaire", Evelyn Beatrice Hall wrote the phrase: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" (which is often misattributed to Voltaire himself) as an illustration of Voltaire's beliefs.

I figured it slightly differently.

Chris and Jen need about 4000 calories of food a day total. Assume they have magic medicine and both live another 70 years, they need around 102,000,000 calories to keep themselves alive.

By the same metrics, 5000 people need 1,200,000,000 calories to survive a 4 month journey. They'd be light by 150 calories a day each from CP and JLaw eating all their munchies, or the equivalent of a good size banana, or 3 fingers of a Kit Kat.
