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.

Yasser Medina

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]

Rated: 5/10

Deep Focus Review

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

I really like the premise but the build-up is a bit too drawn out and some scenes a bit too cheesy.

Despite what the rotten tomato’s low score says, this movie is fantastic, futuristic, and a reminder to humanity of what our purpose should be, extending the life of civilisation and future generations. The story is a fantastic bonus to that reminder.

New sci-fi concept with complete structure that works well within the cinematic restrictions. Actors show good chemistry and characters have depth.
