Question: Wasn't sending Emile in that space capsule futile considering that the inmates had activated the guns? Wouldn't the guns have fired at her?

Question: Why did Emilie and the other guy hit Snow with a fire extinguisher and run after witnessing him taking care of an inmate, right after defeating one themselves in the elevator?

Question: The movie ends without revealing what was the content of the memory card Snow found in the lighter. Does the movie tells it to us in some way?

Sgt_Malarkey

Chosen answer: Not really. Not exactly what it was. Just that it was secrets that he was trying to keep safe from the wrong hands. Most likely government secrets.

Question: When Hydell takes Hock's gun and the shooting starts, what causes the explosion? (00:16:55)

Quantom X ★

Chosen answer: They are in a space station prison. Most likely the bullet from the gun hit an oxygen tank or line and caused a spark. Pure oxygen is highly explosive.

Question: Why did they order the space station blown up at the end? I was under the impression it was already heading towards Earth, which would have made it burn up in the atmosphere?

Answer: An exploding bomb ensures immediate and total destruction and lessens the chance that others could escape like Snow and Emilie did or that the station could somehow be prevented from falling into Earth's atmosphere. Also, while a large object would burn up re-entering the Earth's atmosphere, there would still be significant debris that could hit land, possibly killing people on the ground.

Mistakes

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)

Trivia

Trivia: When Hydell makes "Hairdo" open up all the stasis chambers, a prisoner steps out of one and is disoriented from still being half frozen. He steps out and falls over the edge, and lets out a Wilhelm scream. (00:18:55)
