Passengers

Passengers

Adventure, Drama, Romance

A spacecraft traveling to a distant colony planet and transporting thousands of people has a malfunction in its sleep chambers. As a result, two passengers are awakened 90 years early.


The critical consensus

Titanic amongst the stars — this is a touching, heartfelt tale of loss and love for the Gravity generation.

****(*)James Dyer, Empire Online, 15/12/2016

Passengers never quite delivers on its concept, or the prospect of its Lawrence/Pratt team-up. Still, entertaining enough while it lasts.

***(*)(*)Matt Maytum, Total Film, 15/12/2016

Neither the rapport between Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt nor the impressive effects can quite redeem this shallow sci-fi.

**(*)(*)(*)Wendy Ide, The Observer, 18/12/2016

Rather like the Avalon, it's a surprisingly empty vessel – this is sci-fi without soul.

**(*)(*)(*)James Mottram, The List, 19/12/2016

It may deliver plenty of fairground ride-like spectacle, but it doesn’t begin to atone for its evasive and equivocal storyline or for the mood of phoney optimism that always prevails.

**(*)(*)(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 20/12/2016

Its two twinkling stars are perfectly matched in this appealing sci-fi romance set aboard a vast spaceship as it hurtles through the void.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 22/12/2016

Not even Jennifer Lawrence can save Passengers, a sinking (space) ship of a movie.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 22/12/2016

Passengers is completely corny but it’s still good fun.
