Any music supervisor that still uses the Junkie XL Elvis "Little less conversation" song in movies in 2016 needs to take a serious, deep, long look in the mirror and ask themselves the question if music supervision is really the job that brings out their qualities.

The spaceship is so beautifully realised, that you can't blame us sci-fi buffs for being disappointed in discovering how all it does is revolve around a Disney love story. Now. If I had all the money in the world, and you should be glad that I don't, I'd buy the rights to 'Passengers' and make an R-rated version. It would be the same movie with one reshot scene: In my version Arura wakes up, confused that her pod is completely covered in white goo.

Taking what is essentially nothing more than a typical love story and placing it in a less typical love story setting, Passengers fails at every single possible aspect where something like The Lake House succeeds. In all honesty though, this is made for young people, and if they haven't seen much they'll probably like it. There are worse ways to be introduced to romance, Nicholas Sparks specifically.

Starring chris pratt as kelvin bowman, jlaw as aurora bore-solaris - a black hole 9000 sex robot (feelings included), michael sheen as lloyd "i am my own replicant" the bartender and larry fishburne as dick "i came to die" hallorann, this vaguely pitiful attempt to bring classical influences to the popcorn chugging masses is an affront to all the horribly referenced masters of their trade. which tyldum hence has proven he is not.

Not sure why this wasn't better reviewed. Lawrence & Pratt deliver great performances (esp Lawrence) & in a highly unusual exception, the ads for the film actually suggest a different direction which keeps things unpredictable for most of the film. If there's a problem it's that the emotional & narrative high point is in the middle & the film's message of making the most of what you do have doesn't hit as hard as it should given the general lack of relatability to the situation & its problems.

The concept is cleverer than the script and this compelling, if not particularly well-executed, concept is replaced halfway through the film by uninspiring romance, laughable relationship drama, and a weak attempt at blockbuster action stakes. The writing of Jennifer Lawrence's character is so poor she is made unappealing no matter how many swimsuit-edition intervals the filmmakers gratuitously throw in, and after abandoning the initial concept Chris Pratt's character is similarly bland.

My fascination with long distance space flight possibly meant that I gave this more leeway than it deserved. It plays with some interesting concepts however, although admittedly I may have been adding layers of nuance that weren't actually there! The sci-fi I enjoyed, but 'Passengers' misses multiple opportunities to do something truly interesting with its two protagonists. The perfunctory romance & underplayed moral dilemma are never engaging enough. Countless better endings were possible too.

Passengers is a miss marketed and muddled waste of a good idea that has clearly been dragged through development hell. Chris Pratt & Jennifer Lawrence are an unconvincing but serviceable pair. But the tonally inconsistent story suffers from poor creative and narrative choices. What should have been the big reveal and final conclusion is actually revealed very early on with no gravitas whatsoever. And the impressive yet shoehorned in set pieces disrupt what could have been an interesting Sci/Fi.

A promising first half, but falls apart in the second. There were some interesting moral quandaries, but they soon gave way to a more traditional action/space movie with a ticking clock and explosions and near deaths. And they got the ending all wrong. But it wasn't terrible, I suppose. The cast is fine. And I quite liked a lot of the production design, even if it did borrow a lot from Stanley Kubrick, and 2001: A Space Odyssey in particular. But yeah, ultimately disappointing.

There is a reason this script was in development hell for ages. Passengers is strange. It's so tonally inconsistent it barely feels like you're watching the same movie at points. That being said most of the individual parts work as interesting segments. The actors (love them or hate them) did a decent job, but nothing to write home to Mom about. It's just painful in its inconsistency.

Quite a decent and entertaining glossy sci fi that does devolve a little with a more Hollywood mainstream climax. Passengers started with quite an interesting concept and they could have gone to some really thought provoking places with it but in the end they played it safe, which is fine. My biggest problem was Fishburne's character whose presence was too contrived. That aside it's a good date movie which will give you something to talk about afterwards without being too deep.

Some interesting sci-fi ideas behind it, though I admit I found the execution a bit lackluster. It spirals into an ending much more generic than how it starts.

Seeking to place a monopoly on all high-budget sci-fi movies of 2016/17, Sony Pictures segues into their "the scariest thing in space is that there are aliens in space" movie "Life" with "the scariest thing in space is that there is nothing in space" movie "Passengers." Whereas the former uses CG and tentacle porn to frighten the audience into meh-dom, the latter uses British robots and Jennifer Lawrence's yoga pants to...um...uh...yoga pants.

Passengers creates a really cool world(with spot on set design) puts in decent characters(played by decent actors) gives them an intriguing problem, creates a conflict between them that delivers one of the very best scenes when lawrence flips her lid, and shits on it all with an undeserved runtime and a really crappy setpiece ending( THE DOOR WON'T STAY OPEN I HAVE TO STAY AHS HOLD IT MYSELF etc etc eyerollll)

Top badass moment? Seeing how little actual science you can get away with in a sci-fi film. This movie looks gorgeous and I’m not just talking about Ms. Lawrence, who parades about in a wide range of fetching outfits, whilst further cornering the market in characters sent to the edge of despair. She’s really very good. Oh and Jim, next time you need to open a door to let out superheated shit, just wedge what you’re carrying in it and retire. Much safer. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

I really thought this was going to be a sci-fi lite movie, one that uses science fiction to simply provide a setting, and while it is, at it's heart, a romance, it's still a sci-fi movie--one with a good deal of adventure, and a handful of laughs. The final result of this mixture is simply an entertaining movie, not great, but good.

PASSENGERS has appealing lead actors, incredible production design, and a stellar score...which are largely squandered on a lackluster romance that's one part derivative and one part creepy. The script drifts into incoherence as it careens toward a ridiculous action movie ending that conveniently glosses over the moral quandaries that the film, to its credit, takes some tentative steps to explore. Despite some early successes, however, there's just no gussying up PASSENGERS' poor story choices.

So close to giving this a top score. Despite a lot of shortcuts taken i really loved the first two parts of this. Unfortunately the final act/ending falls through a bit. I really enjoyed it regardless if its flaws (and Jennifer Lawrence).

Not as terrible as I expected, but the film can't decide if it wants to be a serious sci-fi drama or a campy pop romance in space. Ultimately it decides on neither. Chris Pratt is insanely miscast. Jon Spaihts should be punched in the face for his scripts at this point.

I can't help it but I really liked this one. I expected Lawrence to be the worst actor of the two, but she really surprised me. Eventhough it seems like not much happened in Passengers, I was captivated the entire time. And that is what I look for in a movie. 76/100.

Both Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt give good performances in this film. The script has a simple premise but it works. The story has some slow moments but it is worth sicking with the film. Overall I would recommend this science fiction work.

The plot is weak. Terribly weak. The cinematography, the acting, the tone, and the general setting are top notch though. This movie had potential to be so much better with the right writer and plot resolution, but it was saved by the rest of the cast and crew. Good shit if you're into space travel movies.

Not that great. Started off quite good with the introduction of the premise, and it's characters. Becomes really weak later on. Really predictable. Clichéd. Moreover, the whole finale of the movie felt really tacked on. The thing that saved this movie, was the okay acting; not counting the scenes where the actors showed affection for eachother.

IT was cosmic version of Titanic. But this time they had so less support as a cast. All movie was about 2 people and 2 side character. So ı can understand how it will be hard to close that gap. Sometimes Chris looks like a miscasted but then ı cant imagine any other guy for the role. And this is Jennifer's best performance IMO. Its kinda crashed a good theme and idea but still solid in terms of ifluence and art.

An interesting story, funny but tense at the same time. It could have been a masterpiece if the movie started from the perspective of JL character. There are some youtubers who explain how this twist would have improved the movie. It is unclear to me how writers missed this. Maybe it was a well though choice, in order to keep the movie less tense. IDK. Good movie, well acting. Well done.

This movie had a lot of potential to do some cool stuff, but it failed to explore all the cool sci-fi stuff it could have. It also failed to fully explore more psychological angles. I really think the film should have embraced a different tone, but it was going for something I didn't quite understand. It is a solid premise, though done before, and the effects were good, so I enjoyed watching it the one time, but probably never again.

I had high hopes for this one, but other than than the impressive special effects there's no real engagement with the story or the characters. It would have been nice if they went a more darker or sinister route. As it is presented now, even the ending is very unsatisfying.

If you are going to steal, do it from the best. And the filmmakers obviously love Sunshine as much as I do. But instead of using the borrowed visual composition to create a tense and awe inducing atmosphere, the filmmakers go for a fluffy romance, built on a morally unacceptable premise. It is an easy watch, but not very satisfying. And with the premise, the visuals and my love for Chris Pratt this should have been amazing.

There are boring parts, but it's generally a fairly entertaining movie. There's always a bit of horror in a movie where people are trapped in space because it's hard not to project yourself into that situation, and the movie briefly wrestles with its own moral dilemma. Unfortunately, while I don't think it's necessarily sexist, it gives people ammo to think so, and they have material to justify it... which is problematic, obviously. Ultimately it's a kinda pretty, decent, shallow movie.

There's some sexist shit going down here and it's really a bummer because this should have been so much better. I can explain a lot of the bad or questionable of this movie away and it becomes somewhat enjoyable, but I can only do that by coming at it from the perspective of Chris Pratt's character being a scumbag that isn't supposed to be a sympathetic character. But then the movie kind of tries to make him one, sorta. Stockholm Syndrome in space. Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe it.

What a turd. The first thing I noticed was how ugly this film is. The production design stinks of shitty SyFy production, just more money, but the same lack of taste. They even got a couple of the most unattractive and untalented stars. The plot is an ill-conceived mess of changing tones and constant stupidity. It ends with something like Barbie and Ken 'rebooting vent' of spaceship 'reactor' and living happily ever after. Mind-numbing.

Surprisingly a much more solid sci-fi movie, than I had expected. Sure, the mid-section's romantic plot does drag on a bit, but it's bookended by two fairly dark and well-constructed acts.

Pratt and Lawrence elevate this 'sciencey' drama, but it all gets very silly in the final act. A year of solitude is no existential disaster - though no doubt urbanites would lose their mind. The screenplay is guilty of a lack of cultural exposure, and the directing is rudimentary. It feels like someone's idea of what a sci-fi story is like without logic/realism tying it together. Fairly egregious tokenistic employ of Fishburne whose paternalism robs Aurora and audience of real moral catharsis.

An engaging if somewhat sappy sci-fi romance. The film manages to build up a head of dramatic tension; then it squanders it all in a huge, plausibility stretching, special effects laden climax that allows the protagonist to heroically sacrifice himself, gaining redemption, magically delivering the happy ending. It just destroys whatever reality the characters had.
