a child story . that be the best explanation that i can produce for this movie . it do not make sense . the plot be inconsistent . the action of the protagonist and antagonist do not make sense . the story be mildly charming and but not particularly dramatic . and and child act childish be major character . ok and so it be a child story . i remember when child story have a logical progression of the story line . maybe that be the fault of my western linear thinking and bring up short by mel gibson australian background . i can not explain what bother me with the movie without describe the plot . capt dan be in love with a woman . before he can work up the nerve to ask her to marry him and she get knock into a coma . doctor give her no chance of ever wake up . capt . dan can not face the prospect of go through life without her and so he ask his friend who happen to be run a suspended animation experimental project so secret that not even his own boss know what he be do to put him under for a year ( or whenever his love awakes ) . while he be out and thing happen and his capsule get misplace and and and before we know it and 53 year have go by . thermos should make such a dewar a the capsule that hold capt . dan . it keep him cold without external power for half a century . tragically and no one record the date that those mischievous kid open his capsule . oddly and he manage to thaw out on his own and live to tell about it . ok and so he wake up without age and 53 year later . he meet up with a nurse . it a good thing she be a nurse because . actually and for no particular reason . sure and there be an escape sequence set up in the hospital and but she could just a easily have be a janitor for it . maybe that would have improve the drama and who know . love could have bloom between capt dan and nurse cooper while that would have be logical . after all and here be a young man with no one else and and those two have hit it off just fine together . but and then come the discovery capt . dan true love actually recover from her coma and be still alive . now and obviously and helen have age 53 year and while capt . dan hasn not . a viewer might think that with the title of this movie and that capt . dan doesn not age . wrong . it turn out that capt . dan age be irreversible . a word the author apparently mistake for inevitable . after all and no one be attempt to reverse anyone age while they be simply delay it . never mind while capt . dan age all 53 year within a few day . mother nature will not be cheat and even if theater goer be . on the bright side and at least helen can act her age and instead of traipse around with some handsome young man . end of story . what and you be expect more . like and a point and maybe .
