I thought Passengers was like a partial movie like it was rushed into production before the script was finished.
Also the ship supposedly simulated gravity with spin but the gravity could be turned on and off as if by a switch.
@CripplecreekWouldn't there be residual gravity from that much mass rotating? After all,in space anything already moving tends to continue to move until enough force is applied to counter the spin enough to stop it.
I am sure that inside the ship the two people moving around would at times counter the spin and slow it down,but don't have the math skills necessary to document it.
BTW,I agree on the crew. Only lunatics would send a passenger ship into space with everyone in hibernation and no humans alive to monitor everything. No,you wouldn't need a full crew,but you would need enough awake to reboot stuff after electrical failures,as well as to repair any electrical failures.
Not to mention revive the full crew in the event of something major happening.
I did like the movie,though,and realize it was staged like this to highlight the moral challenge faced by any crewmember that was awakened early,and his or her temptation to waken others in order to not be alone.
The surprise to me is they didn't awaken several others so they would have a little community. Anybody complaining could be told the basic truth that it's better to be awakened early and have a life,than to die while asleep and never have one.
