How do they breathe?


This has always bugged me about this movie, how do they all breathe in outer space?

reply

My guess is that they had a field around the ship to contain oxygen.
Though if you think about it a lot of physics in the movie don't make sense, most specifically the gravity--for example, "no gravity" doesn't mean "anti-gravity".
Just sit back and enjoy the movie.

Apparently, the original plan was for the idea of the film was to be made back in R.L Stevenson's time, like their sort of perspective on what it would be like in the future, so they missed out on vital parts of that film, which also leads to a myriad of missing technology.

Me thinks :-P LOL

Yep, it was the conception of the Universe that the French philospher and scientisi Cartesius had in the 17th century.

I always wonder how it was possible for them to breathe. But what I notice more in the movie was that Jim and his mother Sarah appear to be the only humans living in their world and the rest were nothing but aliens, cyborgs, robots and other strange creatures.

Remember that their planet is not the Earth, so it is possible that humans are only a small minority there.

reply

That's true. If it was still earth, I don't think the humans would had given the aliens a welcome greetment. I also remember that Jim and Sarah aren't the only humans that were there, but so was his dad before he left. Do you guys believe there's a possible chance that Jim's father could had been an alien or not? O.o

Don't see how. As far as can be told, Jim's all human.

I was just thinking of that cause I remember in one scene where those robot cops brought Jim back home and telling his mother what happened, Dr. Doppler interupts to help Sarah out and one of them asked him "Are you the boy's father?" Dunno how those stupid robots would think Doppler could be Jim's dad so I believe it could be possible that the humans can mate with those strange aliens in their world if they wanted to.

I don't get why Doppler is wearing a space suit if the galaxy is filled with Etherium *confused*

He's easily persuaded.

He didn't wear it for long too. I wonder what he did to it afterwords.

It's a secret... but don't ever mention "space aardvarks" in front of him.

My guess is that the Etherium is breathable air that fills the space between the stars in this fictional universe. It was odd that the lobster guy screamed when he fell up into the sky like someone would that fell off a cliff. It's funny because at some point he's going to get tired of screaming and start to think through his predicament.

reply

Well breathing or not, odds of Scroop getting rescued or just landing on something that doesn't kill him on impact before he dies of thirst/starvation is pretty darn slim.

reply

He'll be covered in poo as well because without gravity he'll have no way to cleanly get it away from himself.

After a second viewing it seems like there is no dominant alien species . I only saw two or three members of a particular alien race, humans included.
