Joe Neumaier New York Daily News 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? Rated: 2/5 Oct 30, 2008 Full Review Stephen Holden 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 Oct 30, 2008 Full Review Joshua Katzman Chicago Reader 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. Oct 30, 2008 Full Review Nikki Baughan Roll Credits 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. Rated: 2/5 Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Jason McKiernan Filmcritic.com spends too much time concealing its secret to fully realize its potential as a human drama. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 3, 2009 Full Review Anders Wotzke Moviedex Initial intrigue turns into tedium and frustration as the plot heads into the territory of absurd. Rated: 2/5 Aug 1, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Jesperi P It's an okay movie, but not rewatchable for many times Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Lillan S 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Sas Kat 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! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/23 Full Review Glenn M Really really slow dozing of after half an hour an after 1 hour I'd had enough 😴😴 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review J S This movie was never given a chance. It's one of my all-time favorite movies. It's a great blend of mystery and romance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review Randy R I watch a movie for the entertainment value. Sci-fi has always been a favorite. The actors were attractive, engaging and intelligent. The storyline and idea were plausible and interesting. The visuals and CGI were quite good. I have since watched the movie four times and enjoyed it each time. I have read reviews and wonder why so many look for story problems and deficiencies rather than the enjoyment. This movie, no doubt, will stay on my list to watch again. I can see potential for additional stories. I would like to see sequels and follow-ups to life on the new world.
