![]() He uses a door as a shield and asks Aurora to vent the flames. But he needs to stay there to keep the hatch open. This change in her feeling towards Jim could have been shown over a series of events rather than just one. Up until this point, she loathes him and holds him responsible for murdering her (well, technically murdering). She sees Jim leave and is terrified by the thought that if he dies then she will be all alone in the ship. Jim decides to go out to the vent hatch and open it manually while Aurora stays to vent the flames. The exit hatch is stuck and the flames can’t be vented. They replace the module of the computer that is monitoring the reactor. The meteor has created a series of holes which has caused this. Jim and Aurora locate the reactor room and find that the fusion reactor is highly unstable. He hands over his access key to Jim and Aurora and tells them to save the ship. Gus’s pod has been malfunctioning and has caused his health to deteriorate quite badly. ![]() Soon after, the gravity field in the ship malfunctions and a swimming Aurora almost drowns. He enters the crew deck and realizes that many of the ship’s functions have been failing over the past two years. He is the chief deck officer and he has access to many of the places restricted to passengers. Soon after, Chief Gus Mancuso’s (Laurence Fishburne) pod malfunctions and he wakes up. Arthur tells Aurora about Jim waking her up and how it was such a hard decision to make for Jim. Arthur takes this as confirmation that the matter about Jim waking up Aurora is no longer a secret. Now, this is an android looking to Jim for a confirmation. On an evening, when on a date, Aurora mentions to Arthur that Jim and she don’t have any secrets. Passengers: Why does Arthur tell Aurora the secret? Eventually, she starts to like Jim (he’s the only guy there, not many options in any case). Jim tells her he’s been awake for a whole year and that he’s tried everything. She’s desperate to go back into hibernation. She goes through everything thing Jim goes through. He asks Arthur to keep it a secret and Arthur agrees.Īurora wakes up. Jim knows he’s doing a terrible thing but he goes ahead and fries her pod’s timer chip and she wakes up. He confesses to Arthur that he’s thinking about doing it. Once she’s up she can’t go back into hibernation either. But he decides to sacrifice Aurora’s life by waking her up. He decides to do this because he is just too lonely. Jim stumbles upon the pod of a woman, Aurora Lane, a writer. Jim meets Arthur (Michael Sheen), an android bartender. People are put into the hibernation state on Earth and the pod just keeps them in that state. He tries to figure some way to get back into hibernation but he can’t. He tries to check for other crew members who might be awake. He tries to send a message to Earth but they are so far from Earth that the message would take 55 years to get a response. He soon realizes that he got woken up 90 years too soon. This damage leads to further cascading damages to the other functions of the ship. Unfortunately, after 30 years into the journey, a meteor hits the ship and damages the computer monitoring the fusion reactor of the ship. So the idea is that everyone gets on board and sleeps for 120 years and wakes up on the other side at Homestead 2. The duration of this journey is 120 years. Jim Preston (Chris) is one such mechanic who is looking to relocate to this new planet. These people have made a choice to relocate as they want to start a new life. In the film Passengers, there is no catastrophe that has occurred on Earth unlike, say, Interstellar. Sigh, humans have found a way to infest planets other than Earth too. The film is based on Starship Avalon which is transporting 5000 humans (colonists) and 258 crew members to a planet called Homestead 2. Humans have been opting to move away to these planets. Earth, in the future, has figured other planets in the universe that can be inhabited. Honestly, there isn’t much to explain here in Passengers. ![]() – Why does Arthur tell Aurora the secret?.Here are links to the key aspects of the movie:
