![]() ![]() It takes Jim over a year to wake up Aurora because he can’t decide if he should, since in doing so, he is essentially sentencing her to death since she would not ever make it to Homestead II. Whether or not flaws exist in the plot line or character development, the movie details the moral quests humans experience in everyday life. ![]() However, I loved the plot and am happy to tell you why. Comments can be found here, if interested in the negative reviews. The plot is where a lot of critics tried to nitpick the movie to death, as shown in the quote in the intro paragraph. They then live happily ever after for the next however many years, until they die on the spaceship because they woke up way too early. She goes out into space, brings him back into the ship, and revives him on the high-tech infirmary table, somehow restarting his heart. He dies during the mission due to his space suit cracking and releasing oxygen, and Aurora then realizes she loves him-despite her infuriation with him dooming her to live the rest of her life on the ship. Their love then takes a nose dive until the Avalon almost experiences total system failure and Jim risks his life to save the ship. They fall in love and have a blooming romance until Arthur spills the beans that Jim woke her up on purpose. Eventually, after a little over a year of being awake alone with nobody to talk to but Arthur, the amazing bartender, he decides to wake up the girl of his dreams, Aurora. The basic plot of the film is that Jim is awoken from his hypobaric chamber many years prior to when he is supposed to be awakened, this mistake is due to system failure on the spaceship Avalon during its trek to Homestead II. The last review aspect I am going to focus on is the plot. But, the characters were still amazing and perfectly cast. In retrospect, however, the characters were not developed to the fullest extent that they could have been. Lastly, Arthur, the robotic bartender (played by Martin Sheen), was the show stealer due to his incredible wit and human-like behaviors that allowed him to become a best friend to Aurora and Jim. If you have ever seen “Silver Linings Playbook”, you will understand what I mean. Aurora was played by Jennifer Lawrence and, well, basically that's all you need to know. Jim (played by Chris Pratt), was the embodiment of your everyday handyman-both in regard to emotion and behavior. If want a movie like this but want to skip the sexy parts try Interstellar instead.The characters in the movie were incredibly lovable and amazing. ![]() Not a family movie, not for kids or young teens. All in all my opinion, a good movie if you like sci-fi romance. For some people this could be something to avoid. It's not the kind of movie that makes you say "Wow, that was really good." The only other problem I had with the movie is about three quarters of the movie takes place in the bar room. Although it was entertaining and romantic it didn't have any core morals and values. Honestly I wouldn't watch the movie again and that is just one of the reasons. Were these scenes necessary for the movie to be good? No. However these were so brief and didn't show anything explicitly. Also two or three scenes where it was obvious they were naked and having/preparing for sex. ![]() There were two times Chris' rear was shown. The sex scenes were not as visual as I had expected. But as this movie was recommended by a friend and seemed positive otherwise, I went ahead and watched it. After reading the reviews and knowing that there were several sexual innuendos I was unsure, as I usually try to stay away from that. I have to admit, I had misgivings about watching this movie. I am a Christian, so this review will be filtered through a Biblical lens. ![]()
