Mumpy Puffinz posted:why didn't they just go to Mars? They couldn't go anywhere until the solved the equation to let them use gravity to launch buildings into space. Using conventional methods they would have been able to get a few thousand people at most to Mars or an underground moonbase. Besides, if they are going to go to a planet without a breathable atmosphere they may as well just build sealed bio-domes on Earth instead. The planet wasn't going to blow up, the sun wasn't going nova, there was just a thing blighting all the crops and changing the gas composition of the atmosphere. So a sealed environment on Earth should work just as well as on Mars, maybe better since we'd still get the advantage of our magnetic shield and normal gravity. There were probably groups we didn't see working on exactly that. The problem is we've never gotten long-term sealed environments that include animals to work very well, so it's unlikely that they would solve the problem well enough to save a significant fraction of Earth's population that way. Magical gravity lifts and a new planet with a breathable atmosphere would be better.

Mumpy Puffinz posted:Also the should have just fixed earth Agreed. Their plan was pretty poo poo even if everything worked out. The damage on earth was caused by a micro-organism that had apparently infected every edible plant on earth (except corn). How did they plan to get living people to the new planet without a single spore of the bad thing hitching a ride and spreading the plague to the new planet? Hell, we don't see the astronauts do extensive decontamination before launching, so Anne Hathaway has probably already spread the plague to the new planet.

Using conventional methods they would have been able to get a few thousand people at most to Mars or an underground moonbase. No, they couldn't go anywhere because Michael Caine's character knows with absolute certainty that the equations are impossible to solve and tricks everyone into wasting their time on spurious busywork to make sure nobody solves any other problems instead. Plot omniscience does not excuse this and his character is the villain of the film. e: The core reason for needing the antigravity tech to colonize another planet is because humanity is running out of food because all the crops are failing but at the end we're shown these giant comfortable space habitats with huge fields of crops  it just doesn't make any sense at all

but they weren't impossible to solve you just needed time travel one nice thing about this movie, this crisis with the plant plague is the only hurdle to humankind becoming extradimensional timelord beings who build infinite regress chambers inside black holes ??

I did like that we don't have enough food to feed everyone but we have lots of gas to drive around on boondoggles in our giant rear end DODGE RAM pickup trucks
