Jackson (John Cusack) endangering the Arc


Jackson endangered the Arc and therefore the future of humanity to save himself and his dog. A more believable ending would be for him to face military court followed by execution, rather than the warm welcome he received.

That would have been enjoyable

They were in a situation where 7 billion people just died in a day. I doubt anyone is up for killing yet another person for desperately saving their own ass.

Jackson did not endanger the Arc for himself or a dog. He was trying to save his children, their mother, and their step dad, as well as himself. The people watching said it was a suicide mission to go back to free the closing mechanism. He told his ex that they had caused the problem, so he needed to try to fix it, particularly because no one else was in a position to fix it.
