![]() ![]() The movie sells it like they lived out full, happy lives together on the ship, making it their own, and (presumably) dying of old age together. I feel like that "honeymoon phase" would last for a few years, but would get old quick. I'd rather try and live as long as possible than just residing to a life of loneliness with just my wife and some robots to keep me going. Personally, I'd take the option of rotating out in the pod, assuming the pod had the capability of doing that (it's never made clear in the movie). Those people would build them a mansion to live in and let them live and retire in peace. They could have had many more years together on Homestead II, essentially being living legends among the community that saved the 5000+ other passengers. That could potentially be MID-life for them. But this far in to the future we have no idea how advanced medicine and medical technology really is, so for all we know 79 is the new 50. Because ultimately they chose the alternative anyway and chose to age until they died of natural causes (presumably). There's certainly no guarantee they'd both make it to Homestead II alive this way, but IF they did then I feel like that reward would heavily outweigh the risk. Everything from health issues that can't be controlled popping up (i.e. ![]() If they happened to be younger than that then they'd be even better off. So if they were only 35 years old then they'd be 79-80 by the time they reached Homestead II. And yes, they'd have to do this for 88 years BUT they would each only age 44 years. When one person wakes up the other gets a medical checkup from the pod, then they spend a few days together, then the other person goes down for 6 months. ![]() So, hypothetically, they could each rotate sleeping in the pod every 6 months. Not to mention state of the art medical technology, in particular that same pod they hibernate in. They're both in very good health and in peak shape, and have access to plenty of healthy food on the ship. I don't recall their character ages being mentioned in the movie, but let's optimistically say they were both 35. Now, I know that's still a long ass time, and they would be very old still by the end of the trip, but they could have done it. No matter how you slice it, as long as they split the time evenly then it would have turned an 88 year trip in to a 44 year trip. I just watched it again and it dawned on me at the end of the movie that they could have both possibly made it to Homestead II if they had just been willing to take turns in stasis in the medical pod. I'm sure a lot of you have seen the movie 'Passengers' with Chris Pratt. ![]()
