How many of you faggots knew that this is what the movie was about?
It's not so much of a spoiler as it is a public service. The previews lied about what this movie was about. The moral quandry was handled fine and then they totally gave up and it became the most predictable cliched bullshit ive ever seen from a AAA movie
Colton Hall
Shit I thought him waking her up was going to be the twist. Do they really just give it away from the start? Could have made it like they both wake up and shit keeps going wrong and then it's revealed that he woke her up and has been sabotaging shit so she doesn't find out.
Julian Young
wasn't gonna watch it anyway
Alexander Jackson
The very first thing i read about this movie long before they even started making it was that he woke her up.
Ethan Rivera
there was TWO dance off scenes don't watch this movie its bad
Josiah Taylor
A better ending would be that it was all just elaborate sci-fi marriage counselling
Cameron Allen
he spends the first 20 or 30 minutes alone, then can't bear it any longer and wakes her up
Jackson Ward
Do they ever explain why HE woke up?
Jordan Morgan
?? they literally show it at the beginning
Jacob Diaz
IT'S "TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF A STUPID SCI-FI MOVIE" TIME! What was they eating all this time? Food for crew and passengers for that 4 months period before landing? I guess not, but if it's something like Star trek replicators than why the fuck it was social status locked?
Jaxson Russell
DUDE deceiving and dooming people to death for your selfishness is okay if you're a white male LMAO
Thomas Phillips
So is this douche just going to be in every other movie for the next 5 years then?
Robert Miller
this
Jordan Howard
>A better ending would be that it was all just elaborate sci-fi marriage counselling
Nolan Sullivan
>feet cropped out
Asher Powell
and what about the life support systems? Why were they even on if everyone was in cryosleep? But since it's on, wouldn't they use up all the air over the course of their lives?
If they even touched on that in the movie, them planting trees would have made sense, but as it is, it came out of nowhere. Makes you fill in the blanks
Levi Allen
Imagine being Chris in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Jennifer Lawrence, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific androgynous porker face. I would totally have sex with you, both my character and the real me." when all he really wants to do is fuck Ana Faris in his dressing room with her playboy bunny outfit on. Like seriously imagine having to be Chris and not only sit in that chair while Jennifer Lawrence slowly crawls her disgusting body towards you, the favorable makeup barely concealing her resting bitch face and crows feet, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that slither. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone on set tells her KATNISS STILL GOT IT and DAMN, JENNIFER LAWRENCE LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of scowls you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of wholesome Christian blondes and supermodels for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the beaches in Hawaii. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her Oscar Meyer's nose as she flares it out to suggestively attract you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Chris Pratt. You're not going to lose your future wholesome WASP nuclear family over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.
Ayden Baker
This movie is literally 10 Cloverfield Lane if it tried to convince us John Goodman was the good guy
Joshua Flores
what is interesting about people complaining about him waking her up is that they would do the same
you're waking someone up, sex and intimacy is in the back of your mind and you can open any pod you want so of course you open one with a good looking person in it.
Lincoln Rivera
> forest
So its Silent Running?
Kevin Cooper
This movie was spoiled before the first trailer came out.
Julian Russell
Actually sounds like a decent synopsis. Why did people hate it?
Easton King
Bartender is robot?
Carson Morales
android xd
Kayden Cox
>Theres no way to get back to sleep >last 5 minutes >Lol jk there is a way, but theres only one medical pod for the whole 5250 crew population >theres spare parts for everything in the ship except for that medical pod
The plot is so full of holes that one plot point is a hole in the ship that nobody noticed.
Angel Nelson
...
David Gutierrez
no one's complaining about that, i think everyone can and should agree that it's an interesting moral dilemma...but there is no raeson for her to forgive him at all, the way it's handled at the end feels wrong.
Kevin Morales
stockholm syndrome tho
Xavier Sanders
This seems like a big missed opportunity. They could have done a Shining-esque horror film where a deranged Pratt hunts down Lawrence after she finds out he woke her up on purpose. Instead they went with this love story crap
Parker Kelly
Yea she could have been like the 100th person he's woken up & killed xd
Brody Walker
I hate this form of criticism.
Camden Sullivan
that doesn't make it right. The movie wants you to think it's right. It doesn't even hint at stockholm syndrome
James Lewis
Hey reddit
Jose Hill
then consider that the entire ending hinges on the captain waking up because of a random malfunction, the same one that woke Pratt up at the beginning. And it all comes just in the nick of time, with no explanation.
But the biggest plot hole of all is why the roombas would suddenly commit suicide
Blake Myers
You're all weak scum
Jack Brooks
Indeed. I would open up a child's pod, that way they couldn't fight back. I could definitely overpower a kid.
Overpower and rape them, repeatedly.
Austin Ward
I thought pratt's was some random clock malfunction, but fishburns was caused by systems over working due to ship damage
Daniel Jackson
Atleast get it right, Jim said to the bartender that they had no secrets between them and the CREW CHIEF not Andy Garcia only woke up because of the ship failures and died because he wasn't brought back right.
Levi Price
Who wanted this film?
Men like sci Fi Women like romance and celebs
Someone thought men would want a sci Fi movie as a vehicle for Romance
Someone thought women wouldnt just go watch a romcom instead of a sci Fi forced romance
Anthony Gray
Yeah but because he woke up Pratt was able to detect the incoming solar flares and shield the electronics on board otherwise it all would have fried and everyone would be dead.
Thomas Myers
the entire plot hinges on the computer not being capable of repairing the fucking fusion drive, when literally all it takes is hot swapping some motherboards, and that its all stuff he can manually fix in 5 minutes
or on detecting that passengers are moving around the ship doing God knows what or the dumb idea that they could survive hits from meteors at 50% of C
>on the captain waking up because of a random malfunction He's not a captain retard, which is said in the movie, he's like a mechanic or something
Carter Ortiz
I feel like the moral problem of dragging another person into your personal hell because you're going fucking crazy and you think there's a sliver of a chance she could save you, without her fucking hating you for robbing her of the life she would have had, is something that could have been explored without sappy romance bullshit and action explosion filler.
Joseph Stewart
>Its another sci fi movie that does the New Adam and Eve allegory
Jaxson Diaz
>everything with any amount of romance is adam & eve
Cameron Perry
This. The concept sounds interesting and nuanced. But Hollywood execution ruins it.
Joseph Ortiz
My brother said it best "the sci-fi nerds won't care about this because it's actually a rom-com and the rom-com fans won't care about this because it's a sci-fi."
Luis Lee
they literally got a new garden of eden
Connor Thomas
>everything with a garden is the garden of eden
Isaac Harris
>Who wanted this film? >Men like sci Fi >Women like romance and celebs Obviously the mendacious fucking marketers figured it was a slam-dunk. Sci-fi for the lads, a romance plot for the ladies. Too bad it was a creepy one.
Nolan Howard
Perfect
Matthew Hernandez
look, it's a man and a woman alone in a forest setting. it's not exactly rocket science, achmed. biblical allegory is the easy way to make your shitty movie seem """deep"""
Christopher Morgan
There is literally nothing wrong with fusing genres. Unless you're one of those that think sci-fi should always be space battles and aliens.
Chase Martin
I have a hard time suspending my disbelief that a society capable of building such a craft would have gotten to the stage of planning where someone asks -
>well what if someone accidentally wakes up due to a malfunction or programming error? Contingencies? >idk, sucks to be them, lawl So they weren't worried at all of the possibility that out of the hundreds of people frozen, if one of them woke up, went crazy, and drove the thing into the nearest asteroid field or something?
Julian Bailey
>everything is an allegory
shut the fuck up They made themselves a garden over their 80 years until they died of old age Thats all it is
Jacob Collins
It was pretty clear from the trailer the movie was going to suck.
Julian Lewis
>turn it all into a forest
what the hell does this even mean?
Jackson Gomez
It's science bitch I ain't gotta explain shit
Adam Ward
Didn't see the movie, but read the script a few months back. At the end, the entire ship undergoes a system reboot which launches all of the passenger sleeping pods into deep space, effectively killing everybody on board except for Jim and Aurora. One of the crew members even wakes up just as his pod launches, and he shows the protagonists this horrified expression. It's so over the top in how violent it is, that it's actually pretty funny in a schlocky kind of way. The ending tied back to the movie's theme of corporations not being as safe as they advertise, and made Aurora realize it's kind of silly to throw a hissy fit over Jim letting her out of the sleeping pod when she effectively would have died like everybody else if he hadn't.
Was any of this in the movie?
Sebastian Taylor
>Unless you're one of those that think sci-fi should always be space battles and aliens. No, absolutely not. DESU i was a lot more hype for this film than Arrival, because no fucking aliens. I thought it was a mystery in space, but I guess it's something else? If the sci-fi is just set dressing though, it doesn't matter. It could easily be a building on earth, in the post-apocalypse, in some facility where the last of humankind preserve themselves for some alien race to come along and find them. when unexpectedly one of them wakes up.
shit, if you can somehow magic up the preservation aspect, you can drop the pretensions of sci-fi altogether.
Julian Carter
Wow. Sounds like this could have been a good Thriller/horror movie in space with Chris Pratt as a psychopath.
Parker Kelly
sounds like some Max Landis type shit twist
Josiah Young
Nope, Aurora was just suddenly okay with it for no reason. It was so fucking stupid.
Aiden Baker
>killing the other passengers I swear to God, some script writer or the director was a big Silent Running fan. Are the roombas helper robots? With personalities? Silent Running had those too.
Seriously, if you guys haven't seen Silent Running go pirate it now and watch it. It's kino sci-fi. Unflappable Bruce Dern.
Jacob Gray
>10 Cloverfield Lane if it tried to convince us John Goodman was the good guy
Wasn't he?
Jeremiah Price
Better than Shit tier romance in space.
Thomas Rodriguez
>Are the roombas helper robots? With personalities? But they din't had any kind of prsonality (in passengers) the closest thing was when he didn't wanted them to live the room out of lonelyness and started throwing bits of food at them and it looke kinda like he was "feeding" pets.
Camden Ramirez
No, it's 10 Cloverfield Lane if John Goodman was a a hot young man. So it's okay, because Chris is a beefcake and John Goodman is fat.
Josiah Nelson
That's so dumb. The script is no masterpiece, but compared to what I'm hearing about the movie, it sure has become one. Strange ending aside, the way it captures Jim's isolation in the first act is excellent. If this was a Twilight Zone-esque tv pilot about just the first 20 minutes, ending with him killing himself and maybe leaving a farewell letter outside of Aurora's pod despite being a stranger to her, it could be truly something special.
Juan Gonzalez
so they just clean the ship? that's kind of neat but... why? if it's a fucking ship and everyone's in stasis, exactly what are they cleaning?
anyway, watch Silent Running. Great movie, better sci-fi than this crap.
Carson Smith
hey that's actually a better and way more suspenseful ending than what actually happened
Hunter Miller
We heard you the fourth time, fucko. We get it, Silent Running is the greatest movie of all time. Now go away.
Adrian Evans
Does anybody have a link to that scene where Jennifer and Chris are floating out in space in their spacesuits and that annoying song is playing? That was so bad on so many levels.....
Luis Long
That was the plot to an EC horror comic that also took place on a spaceship full of passengers where the man woke up too early. They could have literally made a straight adaptation and it would have been 100 times better.
That sounds unbelievably gay and awful. I don't see where they spent 110 million on for that. Reads about as complex as one of the shittier Twilight Zone episodes
Jonathan Foster
When is hunko Chris going to bin that piece of shit Farris and impregnate my JLaw?
Sebastian Robinson
well $20 million went straight to Jennifer I can tell you that much
Grayson Lee
hopefully fucking never. Anna desu is a nice qt and he is a nice christian man and they belong together forever
Adam Nguyen
In the beginning I thought there would be some kind of twist to it. Like maybe Homestead II didn't actually exist, and the company that made the ship was up to something evil. Or maybe it could have been like the Shining where Pratt goes insane and wakes people up just to hunt them down and kill them.
Seriously, this would have worked so much better as a horror movie.
Carson Morales
Jokes on you faggot, I already read the Wikipedia summary.
Jace Jackson
>nice Christian man He can still divorce that uggo
