Themes
- Baptism
  - I think there was a baptism scene in the end as Gary Senese is carried off by the alien capsule. As he is departing, water fills the tank and twinkles of light 'breathes life into him' to prevent him from drowning. It also symbolizes his rebirth into a completely new life.

- Sacrifice
  - The most memorable scene in this rather forgetful movie is the self giving of the Captain (Tim Robbins) when he sacrifices his life for the good of the crew. A good scene for Passion Sunday or Good Friday? (submitted by Larry Broding)
