Beautiful but lazy

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2016)

Visually the film is quite stunning, which is expected when crafting a film totally set out in space. The plot was quite lazy put together and in parts quite hard to buy into. Did everyone have the same introduction to being woken up from hibernation at the same time? Did everyone's door light up from them when they woke up so they could find their room? Neither would really make sense. Did Gus not know his card could put him back into hibernation (which would have saved his life??)? On that point did I misread the narrative codes or is the film saying that a white man can wake up from hibernation totally fine & healthy, under the same circumstances as a black man who had 612 ailments and died within 10 minutes of the film? Did Gus not even have a wake up medical even though the pod's failed over the same circumstances? Are black people not affected by gravity in the same way white people, inanimate objects and water is/are? Were Gus' black bones so dense that only his arms could be lifted??? This was really a sad satire of diversifying film for me as Gus was just a thoughtless inanimate device in the film for Jim to fix the ship & then be brought back to life.
All in all the film did have some good moments but was quite lazily thought out which was really evident from the ending.
