It's pretty easy imagining doing it in the desperation that would come after years alone.

Off the top of my head the cryrosleep was meant to be 90 years. His pod malfunctioned and he woke up early. With something like 60 years to go, it means that he'll have to spend the rest of his life alone on the ship whilst everyone remains in cryo.

Then he sees this beautiful woman in a pod and decides to wake her.

I was going to post the trailer video for this but turns out the trailer is even more spoilery than my crappy 'back-cover blurb'.

Was there more to it? I didn't see it as worth watching and this doesn't help..

No but I'm an extreme introvert who doesn't need anyone. Like seriously. There is also the obvious morality of it.

Side note, despite people ignoring it I liked the movie.

yeah
its been a while but I think they were all traveling to a different planet which could take years and they're in like some pods that have them in some suspended state and they'll wake up like it was nothing.
Something happens and like Chris Pratt wakes up waaaaaaay before they're projected to land
So its him just hanging out in some big ass cruise ship having fun until he gets lonely or some shit

Wasn't there the moral dilemma of because he woke her it fucks everything up, since she'll be dead before they arrive, and they need her because she's skilled at something.

I think deep down, there was an intriguing plot there, but the execution was pretty mediocre, as usual. Didn't really see it, but watched the EEW about it, to get the gist.

Its like a cruise ship in space. They be some shitty basket ball arcade game but you wont have anything like Breath of the Wild or Red Dead 2.

Plus he'd probably have to pay extra even if the ship had them. He was the lowest class, he could ony have something like cereal and black coffee every day.

No, she was just a writer who was going to write a book about the experience and then 1 year later jump on another ship back to earth. I mean there is definitely the morality of it as you are essentially ending her life in a shitty way but it wasn't because she was important.

The moral dilemma was that he made someone else the same fate as him. He lied to the woman about her pod also malfunctioning and then they 'fall in love'. But the dude picked her in particular because he liked her in her sleep. So theres this whole creep, grooming element to it.

Oh, then dumb movie. I thought it was basically about the moral dilemma of you sabotaging an entire expedition, because you're lonely. Think Interstellar did something like that too.

I'd toss everyone else off the ship but make sure I wake them up first. I write them each a hand written note about how I did it and sign it with a smiley face.

I think most people agreed that it could have been great if it had been a thriller/horror movie instead of a romance. Make it from Jennifer Lawrence's perspective, start with her just waking up. Chris Pratt lies and says her pod malfunctioned the same way his does. It gets creepier and creepier as it goes along until she discovers the truth. He talks about how he didn't plan to wake anyone up but the weeks of isolation drove him to in. In the big climax, she kills him.

Then the end would be a time jump of like three months or something. She looks fucking rough and stands over a pod, staring at the person inside and considering.

Isn't that exactly what happened? It's been a while since I've watched the movie.

Yeah the pitch as is would be an incredible horror and thriller.

But it's weird because if they wanted a romance then just making it a coincidence would solve that issue alone. Like dooming someone to spend their remainder of their life with you alone is such an incredibly dark thing to do someone. It's not a typical misunderstanding or lie usually found in these romantic movies. It's not far off trying to make a romance movie about a kidnapper and the girl in his basement.

No, the first chunk of it is from Pratt's perspective.

He really took a gamble that she'd be interested in him. I probably would have just had a relationship with the pod

At that point, whether or not she liked him back wasn't the concern. He just wanted companionship.

Or we get the movie from Jennifer Lawrence's point of view and she slowly discovers that she's not the first woman to be woken up.

She finds traces of other women being around. And then ultimately finds that Chris pratt has been waking up the women one by one, seducing them and if unsuccessful, he kills them.
