Corrected entry: After Emilie gets off the escape pod and rejoins Snow on MS-1, they begin to argue whether her father would authorise an attack with her still aboard. As Snow says "I would love to, but I can't", his back is to Emilie until he spins around facing her and the camera. His mouth does not move when he utters "I can't." (01:07:25)

Directed by: James Mather, Stephen St. Leger
Starring: Guy Pearce, Peter Stormare, Maggie Grace, Vincent Regan
Plot hole: The security measures for the prison depicted in this film are completely ridiculous. Not only are the prisoners confined to one central area and greatly outnumber the guards, but the cryostasis cells the prisoners are kept in are designed in such a way that the prisoners are able to simply step out and easily overwhelm the guards when the doors are opened, with the prison's backup plan being to release sleeping gas in the area to regain control. If the prison was so concerned about having to go the measure of using sleeping gas to control the situation, then surely they could have simply designed the cryostasis cells to have the prisoners restrained as a fail safe in the event that they are all simultaneously released without authorization in order to prevent the prisoners from overrunning the prison as easily as they are depicted doing. Since the prisoners are being kept in cryosleep, there is no reason to not have them restrained, because they have no need to move around. For a prison that is repeatedly described as being maximum security, it sure has some glaring weaknesses. (00:13:30 - 00:18:45)
Snow: Ok, see here on the map?
Emilie Warnock: Yeah.
Snow: That's where the pod is. You get in it, you fly away. The good guys will come and get you, ok?
Emilie Warnock: On my own?
Snow: You're a big girl, right? Here's an apple and a gun. Don't talk to strangers, shoot them.

Correction: His mouth does not have to be moving to say "I can't". He is talking through his teeth at that point, as depicted by his open mouth. Try it yourself. Say 'I can't' through your teeth. Your lips don't need to move.
