Critics Consensus

Passengers proves Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence work well together -- and that even their chemistry isn't enough to overcome a fatally flawed story.

Anne Cohen

Refinery29

Passengers takes what could have been an interesting debate about consent and glosses it over with cheesy romance and problematic sex.

The film's greatest sin is its intrinsic dullness.

Sydney Morning Herald

The production design here is spectacular and utopian - a delirious idea of a future that's perfectable, a world without blemish.

Rated: 3.5/5

Cinefilia

Its science-fiction premise about lovers in space starts with promising questions, but soon approaches a horizon that lacks depth and is lost, from the beginning, in a black hole of clichés. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

Passengers has a lot going for it, but the entire treatment feels mishandled, misguided, and a missed opportunity.

Rated: 1.5/4

It’s an excellent introspective drama in space, making you analyze what you would do in these situations. My lack of star is because you don’t fully sympathize with the main character of Pratt’s. The character comes across selfish, stalkerish, and creepy which is an uncomfortable feeling to watch.

Passengers is a thought-provoking scifi film. I suspect a lot of people down-thumbed it because it wasn't a special FX extravaganza (although there was enough). It is a love story, but also a reflection of the human condition in unusual circumstances, for both of the protagonists. The acting and story were both exceptional.

Everyone who gives this movie a low rating basically self-reports they don't understand a single thing about human psychie and zoned out during the entire "he's a drowning man" scene, as well as the ending scene with the healing pod.

Good mixture of a sci-fi story with a romance angle. Would have liked to see a longer ending.
