It, essentially, boils down to a comedy bit with Jim and Arthur, the android bartender. But, really, the fact of the matter is that there's not much resistance from Jim's part to do this. This is, of course, what you see, as I'm certain much more time passed for Jim in his world. Because Jim only debates this for, say, about five minutes.
As an aside, by the time he does this, Jim has been on his own for a year and three weeks. He comes to fall for Aurora's personality and her sense of humor and, basically, he decides to take matters into his own hands and purposely cause Aurora's pod to malfunction so she, much like him, is woken up almost 90 years prior to their arrival. This only holds him over for so long and, long story short, he looks at the flight manifest and finds Aurora's interview for why she's going to the colony, and why she's choosing to leave behind her friends, family and life. Eventually, he just stops worrying about what he can't control and chooses to, for a short while at least, enjoy the fact that he's on a luxury airship.
He attempts to find every possible solution to this problem, from breaking into the cabin where the flight crew is in, to trying to put himself back into hibernation, among many other options. Chris Pratt's character, Jim, wakes up from his hibernation pod 30 years into a trip that's meant to take 120 years. That's what the question this movie poses, except instead of a deserted island, it's a spaceship traveling to a distant colony planet. And how would you go about this? Would you tell the person that you're responsible for their being on this island? Or would you attempt to keep it a secret for as long as you could, maybe revealing the secret on your deathbed or something.
I suppose you don't have the right to make that decision for someone else because, again, they'll spend the rest of their lives on the deserted island because you 'wished' them there. Honestly, that's a very difficult question to ponder. That question is simplified down to this, basically, if you were stuck on a deserted island with no hope of getting out of it, beyond a shadow of a doubt, would you, if you had the choice, bring someone along with you to ease the loneliness, knowing that you're gonna doom them to live out the rest of their lives on a deserted island with just you. This movie poses a legitimately interesting question.
