Center
Primary
Despite an initial premise of Earth's environmental collapse, the film quickly becomes an apolitical sci-fi survival story, focusing on human ingenuity and teamwork against a hostile environment and a rogue AI, rather than exploring the political implications of its setup.
The film features visible diversity within its ensemble cast, including a female commander and a Latino crew member, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, with DEI themes not being central to the story.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity through the character of Bud Chantilas, a spiritual advisor who frequently quotes scripture. His faith is depicted as a source of wisdom, comfort, and moral guidance for the crew, particularly during moments of despair and sacrifice. The narrative treats his spiritual perspective with respect, aligning it with themes of hope and humanity's enduring spirit.
