Overall this movie had some potential of greatness. The first 30 minutes and Chris Pratt's struggle with loneliness was very intriguing. However, the further the movie went along, the worse it got. [rant][spoiler]The part where my suspension of disbelief completed disappeared was soon after they realized a piece of meteor was causing problems on the ship. Of course the writer's couldn't help themselves, but to follow the old sci-fi trope of "It's the reactor core". How does Chris Pratt's character know so much about the ships engine and power system? He just comes off as a mechanic type, who shouldn't know the first thing about space ships. So Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt go to investigate and realize the core computer was hit (Why wan't that behind a firewall like the crew members?), causing a problem with the the reactor. They have to vent the reactor or else it could melt down and kill everyone on board. Chris Pratt goes to fix the outside door so the reactor can be vented and realizes (of course) that he has to stay there and manually hold the door open. Somehow through "Hollywood magic" he isn't melted instantly by the vent and is instead blown into space after his tether breaks. He somehow gets a hole in his space suit and I thought the writer's where actually going to let him die. Nope, instead Jennifer Lawrence somehow goes out into space and grabs him (the ship somehow calculated the complex trajectory without her telling it to). She then drags him back inside into the medical bay and (with absolutely no medical training) somehow resuscitates Chris Pratt's character back to life (really cheap there writers). Chris Pratt realizes that he can put her back into stasis using the AutoDoc (I thought he would've figured that out by now, considering they already said he investigated it). She instead chooses to live out the rest of her life on the ship with the man that woke her up (essentially murdering her). The final nail in the coffin is somehow they managed to get the tree to survive long after they do, and magically a whole assortment of animals and plants grow around it to create a forest for the passengers to wake up to. Also why didn't they just have Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt's kids telling this story to the passengers after they woke up instead of the stupid narration from Jennifer Lawrence.[/spoiler][/rant] Listen, save yourself 2 hours and a major anger fit, and just don't watch this movie. The ending will just piss you off for having wasted your time. Go watch a better sci-fi movie like Arrival.
