The Avalon is on a 120-year journey to a far-off planet, with 5,000 passengers and more than 250 crew members on board. Some 90 years before arrival, one of the hibernation pods malfunctions and mechanical engineer Jim Preston wakes up. This captivating science fiction drama deals with loneliness on a cosmic scale, and it asks the audience what they would do in Jim's shoes. The resulting story is either incredibly romantic or disgustingly misogynistic, depending on your viewpoint. Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence give strong performances. The Avalon is beautifully designed.
