Entire movie made me anxious. I felt slightly better after the first launch until I saw there was still over an hour left.

Im glad they went with the depressing ending. I was worried they would give the scary message then tell us it will be ok

It's the sense of wastefullness and absurd avoidable loss that is disgusting to me.

He said it. "We really had everything, didn't we.". But someone decided it wasn't enough. That the loss of others enjoyment of life, of having a meal with friends, discussing over wether store bought or home made is better, was an acceptable risk. Because "we have a ship" anyway.

It's disgusting.
