I haven't seen this movie, but I appreciate the effort put into this secret

Thanks. I admit I got a little pedantic about it, LOL. It was a fairly meh movie. Not awful, but not great. I think it would've been better with more of a horror/suspense kind of angle and less romance? But it bugged me that people claimed Aurora was too laid back about finding out that Jim deliberately sabotaged her sleeping pod... she definitely wasn't. Attempted murder is kind of the opposite of being a little upset.

The problem is how it's handled and how she's shown as in the wrong for these reactions, tbh. It feels very, "Silly woman getting all emotional."

Sorry, I don't agree. None of those scenes are played as silly or dismissive. They don't shy away from how much it tears her up inside, both the loss of the life she expected to lead AND Jim's betrayal. She's fucking furious. When Jim tries to apologize over the ship's computer - a moment that could easily come off as one of those grand romantic gestures - we see exactly how angry it makes her, and her rejection of him feels very, very right. His apology is pathetically inadequate, and not only does she get that point across, she makes the point that she wants nothing to do with him despite his attempt at reconciliation. The scene where she's sitting in the cafeteria, not eating, not even aware of her surroundings...that's clearly a person who's gone past anger (for the moment, anyway) and feels utterly numb and detached from her situation. I mean... she comes a hair's breadth away from committing murder in cold blood. Not even just a quick, relatively clean murder like shooting, but rather beating someone to death.

If you watched that movie and saw "silly woman getting all emotional"... well. I think that says more about you than it says about the movie, to be honest. I saw a woman driven nearly insane with pain and betrayal and struggling to cope AND almost failing to the point where she nearly kills someone.

And then she forgives him and fucks him for the rest of her life. That makes it even worse than if she didn't care about what he did to begin with.

Maybe pedantic, but like... in a good way? I actually found it pretty interesting how you dissected this aspect of the movie. You should consider doing youtube movie reviews haha.

Thank you! But honestly, this isn't really in depth analysis at all. It's just describing the events of the movie accurately.

Idk, there's people that make videos devoted to describing movies inaccurately, we could do with more of the opposite!
