Spoilers ahead
The starship Avalon, operated by the Homestead company, is on a monumental journey to relocate over 5,000 colonists alongside 238 crew members to the lush planet Homestead II—a voyage that spans an astonishing 120 years. This mass exodus results from the devastating consequences of Ecocide and the imminent collapse of Earth’s biosphere. While all aboard are nestled in hibernation pods, a catastrophic event unfolds. As the ship navigates a perilous asteroid field, its energy shield is severely compromised by a barrage of space debris, leading to a malfunction that awakens Jim Preston (played by Chris Pratt) a mechanical engineer, a staggering 90 years earlier than planned.
