Therapist Claire Summers (Anne Hathaway) receives an assignment by her mentor to counsel the five survivors of a plane crash. She feels particularly drawn to Eric (Patrick Wilson), the most-secretive of the group. Against her judgment, she becomes romantically involved with him, just as the other survivors mysteriously start to disappear. Believing that Eric knows more than he is telling, she vows to find the truth, no matter the outcome.

Did Hathaway know when she signed to this that it would be released just in time to embarrass her during her accolades for Rachel Getting Married?

New York Times

Passengers is a supernatural thriller so mechanically inept and lacking in suspense that it doesn't even pass muster as lowbrow Halloween-ready entertainment.

Rated: 1/5

The surprise ending isn't as shocking as those of Jacob's Ladder or The Sixth Sense -- two stellar examples of the genre -- but it's still dramatically potent.

Clever as it tries to be, the end really doesn't justify the means and Passengers becomes just another example of a big idea being reduced to cinematic sludge.

spends too much time concealing its secret to fully realize its potential as a human drama.

Initial intrigue turns into tedium and frustration as the plot heads into the territory of absurd.

Say C H

I thought this was a pretty exciting and interesting movie, despite the “professional“ (political correctness monitor) reviews where nobody seemed to like it. This movie reminded me of Castaway only in a science fiction future setting. It helped me imagine going on a cruise boat that was on autopilot, where the other 5000 passengers and crew didn’t make it on board. I think the movie was well worth my time and I’m glad I decided to watch it!

Kris. I have watched this movie several times and I found it very fascinating each time. I watch movies over and over that I found enjoyable to my self and this is truly one of them. I recommend you ignore the negative reviews and give it a watch yourself and you decide. If I judged movies to watch based on other people’s reviews I know I would have missed out on a good number of movies I have greatly enjoyed. You be your own judge as I have and you will find movie watching much more enjoyable.

The movie was so bad and just got worse as it progressed. So sad to think I wasted precious 90 minutes if my life on a louse script, mediocre acting and super-stupid ending.

This movie was so surprising, I can't say too much because it would spoil it, but such good acting, great storyline, intrigue, drama and so much heart. Such a beautiful touching movie. It is not something I would have chosen but it popped up on youtube as a free movie, so I watched it and so glad I did. Highly recommend!
