Forget the paid off critics. This movie is outstanding. In fact, I hope there's a sequel.

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2017)

I don't know what the critics are on about, I loved this movie.
I didn't give it the last star only because I felt the last scene should have been 2 or 3 minutes longer with a few more views of the crew experiencing the 'aftermath'.
There were a few instances where the science fiction didn't match up with real science but that's nothing new in the movies and I can overlook that artistic license. The biggest scene that sticks out most in my head as being off is the sealed compartment with the hull breach. In reality, the immeasurable vastness of space, entirely a vacuum, would suck a human out of a pinhole....A stream of liquid emerging out the other side. Any movie that shows people holding on to something and being lifted while they fight the force of the whole universe with their mere grip is pure fiction. The air would also vent instantly.
OK, that science bit aside, I loved it. I thought it was a great plot, the visuals are amazing, the cast is outstanding and it's just a great movie overall. I just don't see why it was judged so harshly.
I would definitely like to see a sequel that picks up initially about 55years from arriving where we see how they've lived and the lead up to a decision to have children or not. Her book narrating the history of their new lives like the decision to turn the promenade deck into a farm and 'outdoor space'. Perhaps so the couple's near century of unintended living, breathing and eating didn't deplete the ship's resources for the 5000 others or perhaps issues arise from the children not being registered passengers with bracelet ID's.
Fast forward to the Awakening of the crew who discover what has happened, see the results of Jim's and Aurora's entire lives worth of living and surprisingly meet their two children, now in perhaps their 40's and 50's themselves. The adult children pick up the narration from there and describe not only the continued story of their parents triumphs, trials and eventual passing but most importantly, how history repeated itself when the children, longing for mates and love beyond a sibling bond awoke other passengers resulting in two separate yet complete family units on board! Perhaps at war, with a Cane and Able tribal vibe, or perhaps just living in peace anxiously awaiting the awakening to finally speak to the others... and tell all.
Or alternately, they only have one child named Gus who is found in the Auto-doc and recalls their stories culminating in their last act.... placing they're now 20 something child in the improvised pod to spare him the loneliness they themselves are intimately familiar with. The possibilities are endless.
