    Are there any even half plausible ways cryogenics might work with the technology we have? I mean, if they’re frozen their cells are ruptured.

    From time to time they have to open these things and basically find melted human jelly where a body was once placed.

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4074928/ - I really liked this movie about it. Without spoilers, the idea basically is that to keep getting funding the company has to prove that the technology works. They have to start waking people up and someone has to be first. Decades after you’ve been frozen all your family is long dead so you’re basically company’s property, they can do whatever they want…

      Seems like a low rated movie. Yet I’m still interested

      Edit: I just saw the movie and it’s great. It has the vibe of a Black Mirror story that gotten lengthened to a movie.

        Glad you liked it. I think the low rating is because the movie is simply too smart for a lot of people. Like it’s actually smart Sci-Fi, not just pretending to be smart like Interstellar.

        The same guy also did Open Your Eyes (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125659/) which was remade in US as Vanilla Sky. If you haven’t seen it check out the Spanish original.

    And they’ll have to fight it out to be the one consciousness getting shoved into a probe and sent into space after they’re revived by a theocratic fascist state in 500 years
