I just saw that movie, and there what I could call some pretty easy references to Marathon.

First, it's all about a huge ship, made to create a new home for mankind. Ok, not in the same way as the Marathon, since in this case, the ship is made to create a planet, not colonise one, but I think it's pretty close.

Second, the main caracter, Kyle, has a sword tatooed on him right shoulder. It could have been anything else, but it's A SWORD.

Third, at the end of the movie, the new planet is created, and Kyle is asked how he would name the planet, and he answer "Bob".
Kyle: "I think I'm gonna call it Bob."
Akima: "Bob?"
Kyle: "You don't like it?"
Akima : "You can't name a planet Bob"
Kyle : "Oh, so you are the boss now, you're the king of Bob?" (amused)
...

And at the end it shows "New Earth - Planet Bob".

If that's not a reference, what is it then? They can't have done all that without reason...
