That movie actually got me thinking.
What if the crew members weren't really 25? What if they have advanced anti-aging processes to such a degree that aging is effectively halted?
Maybe they were all 150 years old!
Maybe future Earth is populated with great-grandparents physically indistinguishable from their offspring! A war breaks out between the old and the young, with both sides using gadgets and mind-tricks that let them know their true ages!
Maybe a young scientist releases a compound into the atmosphere that restarts and accelerates the aging process. People grow old and wither in the streets! The young are stuck in a world they don't know how to control!
I want to see that movie.
