They all would have survived


They could've survived if they werent' fooling around. They should have gotten the cells back to the other ship before the eclipse. Instead they were having drinks and exploring the area instead of just getting the hell out of there.

They thought they had time.

Partially - but remember Johns didn't want the power cells to get to the rescue craft until the last minute because Riddick could pilot it out and he knew he'd make a break for it.
They also had to patch the craft to restore hull integrity.

Sure that's what they should have done, but then that would have been a boring movie.

They would've all made it if Ogilvie hadn't been greedy and left the light. He caused the light to short out and make misery for everyone.

Always remember they just survived a fatal crash. And things went from bad to worse after. Great movie. Underrated.
