From the beginning of the movie we see the main engine of the ship is burning, thus accelerating the ship. At a 1G acceleration you would reach close to the speed of light within one year. At the start of the movie the ship has already traveled for 30 years, so even at a fraction of a 1G acceleration the ship would have reached close to the speed of light, not 50% as later stated in the movie. But the ion drive shown is not necessarily capable of 1G acceleration. An ion drive's force is dependent on the number of ions in space at that particular location, so it changes. And it would take a drive unit many times the area shown to accelerate a ship that massive at 1G.
