Secondly, the acting is one of the best I've seen (I was pretty skeptical about J.Lawrence but not anymore after this movie and Chris Pratt's acting keeps getting better and better since GotG). I would absolutely have done all those things if I were in their shoes. But anyway, I recommend this and hope to see similar movies in the future. It is also a strength, but perhaps also a weakness.

The few people we meet in the film give insight and one becomes familiar with the characters. It seems like a thoughtful movie, and I appreciated the thought behind scenes and action. It was impressive and 3) This movie works to switch between a love story and some action sequences. 2) It's beautiful to watch, great movie, spectacular setups and scenes. I enjoyed the movie for three reasons: 1) The story is unique, and something I've never seen before. The film is not a featured sci fi movie, even if the action takes place on a spaceship. I think it's strange that he made something directly bad. One of the best Norwegian directors, without a doubt. At the same time, I know that Morten Tyldum is an incredibly good director. And I have to admit that I enjoyed this movie well, even though I understand some of the criticisms. But it does not make sense to listen to others. Appearance that the film has gone bad, not earned enough, etc.

I have to admit that I had low expectations when I was going to see this movie. If it's a genre you like, and it's got relatively acceptable reviews (by regular movie-goers like us).give it a shot! In the case of "Passengers", I think you'll agree with the 70% who liked the movie. In conclusion, my recommendation is to not be swayed by over-paid critics or critic wanna-be's. The last was anything but "suspense-free"! The first two were not meant to be suspenseful, but to convey what it would be like to actually do so for the first time. Did these people watch the same movie as I did? There were three spacewalks in the movie. The concept is also far more original than most sci-fi movies.Ĥ) ".perfunctory, suspense-free spacewalks". The movie was thought provoking and raises quite a few questions of morality and acts of right-or-wrong. Probably written by someone who is not into sci-fi or feels that the genre is not as legitimate as other "higher" forms of art. It's SUPPOSED to look "polished"! As a design artist who is into sci-fi I thought the set designs were well done.ģ) "."Passengers" increasingly succumbs to timidity and begins shrinking into a bland science-fiction adventure". There were a number of times in the movie that the script could have gone one way or another, and I was in suspense each time.Ģ) ".production design is polished to the point of looking chintzy." "Polished"? The ship is a highly technological feat of engineering that's carrying 5,000 passengers 90 years into space. To guess correctly doesn't mean it's predictable or that you're a genius. Yes, this genre has one of two ways to end. So I will proceed to counter a few of the critics arguments.ġ) "A conclusion (to the movie) that's as egregiously contrived and corny as it is predictable". I almost passed on this movie because I mistakenly read a few critic reviews. In this case I feel strongly compelled to do so, and heartily agree with those who found this movie to be thoroughly enjoyable. As a result, two passengers are awakened 90 years early.It takes a lot for me to take the time to review a movie. A spacecraft traveling to a distant colony planet and transporting thousands of people has a malfunction in its sleep chambers.
