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.
Titanic amongst the stars — this is a touching, heartfelt tale of loss and love for the Gravity generation.
Passengers never quite delivers on its concept, or the prospect of its Lawrence/Pratt team-up. Still, entertaining enough while it lasts.
Neither the rapport between Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt nor the impressive effects can quite redeem this shallow sci-fi.
Rather like the Avalon, it's a surprisingly empty vessel – this is sci-fi without soul.
Titanic in space.
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.
Its two twinkling stars are perfectly matched in this appealing sci-fi romance set aboard a vast spaceship as it hurtles through the void.
Not even Jennifer Lawrence can save Passengers, a sinking (space) ship of a movie.
Passengers is completely corny but it’s still good fun.
