At approximately 10 minutes into the film, after the ship was hit by a solar flare, and the crew are being woken out of cryo sleep, one of the pods begins malfunctioning. The crew attempt to pry it open, but are too late, as the inside of the pod is filled with flames. FLAMES.
LOL WHAT?
This instantly shattered the immersion of the movie for me. What kind of cryo pod - something that is DESIGNED to keep people ALIVE would have such a glaring flaw? How could that even happen? The pod gets messed up and therefore it turns into an INCINERATOR? I mean, I know these films require a certain suspension of disbelief, but this is just lazy. Of all the ways a cryp pod could malfunction and end up killing its inhabitant, being filled with FIRE is what they went with? Really? That's not dramatic, that's straight up parody.
I had a very hard time taking the movie seriously after that and it's indicative of all the choices made in this film going forward.
