![]() Further Rule of Drama comes into play when a metal door (being used by Jim as a makeshift shield to protect himself from the plasma vent) is able to withstand the furnace of a fusion reactor, but then gets instantly vaporized as it floats into what appears to be a large ion thruster.Jim stands in a tube through which the contents of a malfunctioning fusion reactor are being vented, almost frying his spacesuit, but he doesn't appear to suffer from radiation poisoning - it is possible that the reactor employs a so-called aneutronic reaction, which would not produce energetic neutrons, just as Aurora stands in the control room of said reactor (the shielded window of which is cracking) and she doesn't get radiation poisoning either.A rotational gravity centrifuge would continue to function from inertia after a power loss, and gradually lose gravity as the rings stop spinning from friction on the bearings.Rule of Drama wins the day with the Artificial Gravity failures:.In one scene the camera zooms out of a close-up of a forest at sunset until we realize that this was just a projection on the monitor. Artificial Outdoors Display: The backside of Jim's living room has a large window monitor for such.The Chinese version similarly has "Light Years Away" by GEM.

Gus - who is played by Laurence Fishburne - says he "should have taken the pills".Also related to Guardians: "Dance off!".Only that time he was the one doing the rescuing, though both times he still ended up nearly dying. The scene where Aurora rescues Jim from space and revives him is near-identical to something that happened to Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy.Absurdly Long Wait: Due to their distance from Earth, Jim has to wait for 55 years for a reply to the Distress Call he sent back.20 Minutes into the Future: The date of the setting is not specified, but apart from the development of interstellar travel and highly advanced holographic user interfaces, the civilization does not seem to have changed that much: the clothing has not changed, the bars still have the same look (but the bartender is an android), the Pulitzer Prize is still awarded, etc.In the depths of his despair, Jim stumbles across a woman in her pod, Aurora Lane (Lawrence), and becomes smitten with her to the extent of contemplating an unthinkable decision: whether or not to consciously awaken Aurora from her pod to share his fate. The prospect of what will become of the remaining 90 years between him and his destination is a crippling one for him to come to terms with, and loneliness sets in hard shortly after. Due to a ship malfunction, one of the passengers aboard - engineer Jim Preston (Pratt) - is accidentally awoken 30 years into the trip, and try as he might, he is unable to re-hibernate himself. The Avalon is a Sleeper Starship on a 120-year trip from Earth to Homestead II, a colonized planet in distant outer space.
