Voyagers

The ending of Voyagers reveals how the crew, under the influence of fear and rebellion, spirals into chaos after their leader Richard dies in an accident. Zac, driven by paranoia and a desire for power, manipulates the crew by exploiting fears of an alien threat, which turns out to be fabricated. As tensions escalate, Christopher uncovers that Zac is responsible for Richard’s death by tampering with his assessment and using violence. To stop Zac’s destructive plans, Christopher and Sela secretly open a hidden pod containing weapons, intending to defend themselves and restore order. However, Zac intercepts them and seizes the weapons, rallying his followers for violence. The climax reaches its peak when Christopher and Sela, fleeing from Zac, enter a disused discharge pod and open its hatch to space, escaping his wrath. Zac then follows and confronts them, but they throw him into outer space, ending his reign of chaos. With Zac gone, the remaining crew, including Sela, who steps into her father’s role as captain, decide to abandon the drugs that dull their senses and follow their own judgment. As they continue their journey, the film closes with a hopeful scene of a new Earth in the distance—signaling a future where humanity might learn from its destructive tendencies. Ultimately, the film explores themes of manipulation, fear, and the potential for humans to destroy themselves when driven by madness or power, showing that even in the vastness of space, human flaws remain deeply rooted. The ending leaves viewers pondering whether humanity can truly escape its darker instincts or if those tendencies will always threaten our survival.
