I'm currently watching this movie, and I came here to post this right after this scene took place.
(Spoilers ahead)
They're in an elevator. And the gravity has been disabled on the ship. The girl says "The elevator won't work without gravity." And they show a cable spool, presumably what lifts and lowers the elevator. They show it unspooling, and the cable becoming tangled. This whole thing leads to a scene where the two main characters almost die because they can't use the elevator and have to climb up the shaft.
What fucking BAFFLES me is that on a SHIP in SPACE where there isn't fucking GRAVITY, why wouldn't you just have another identical spool, pulley, and winch on the other end of the shaft that would pull in the opposite direction, so the shit doesn't become tangled, keeping tension to make sure the cables don't tangle.
This is such an obvious safety and engineering oversight.
