How did Pinbacker get from Icarus I to Icarus II


anyone ????

reply

The same way Capa and the others went from Icarus II into Icarus I. Then he destroyed the passage.

Hell yes!

As I understood it, he didn't destroy the passage but simply disengaged one ship from the other. But yes, I agree he used that opening.

It was rather vague but I assumed he blew out the hatch same as the other guys did. If he went along at the same time, though, they didn't show him, or the other guys somehow didn't notice or see him, so I'm guessing he did it on his own? I wasn't really sure about that.

He walked from the Icarus 1 to Icarus 2 before the hatch was blown. He blew the hatch once he was on-board Icarus 2.

reply

Yup. The others didn't have space suits on when they boarded Icarus I because they'd walked between the ships when they were docked together. He made that same walk and then blew the hatch, which is why the others had to find an alternative means back to the ship.

It's a sign of poor moviemaking when the viewer has to assume or guess or attempt to come up with answers to vague plot holes. Shocking that such an accomplished director would really blow it with Sunshine

This was actually covered during the discussion on whether or not to kill Trey. They discovered that the hatch had been manually disengaged and deduced that it had to be Trey, not knowing that Pinbacker was on board.
