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. Jun 26, 2017 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald The film's greatest sin is its intrinsic dullness. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 11, 2017 Full Review Paul Byrnes 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 Jan 6, 2017 Full Review 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 May 13, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Apr 5, 2022 Full Review David Gonzalez The Cinematic Reel Passengers biggest issue is its finale. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jasper M I really like the premise but the build-up is a bit too drawn out and some scenes a bit too cheesy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review lucid L One of my favorite movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Audience Member I dont care what the fun hating critics say about this movie it is a near masterpiece Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review McKenzie S I’ve loved this since I was young, the movie is so cool and the plot is touching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Elliot C 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review David D. New sci-fi concept with complete structure that works well within the cinematic restrictions. Actors show good chemistry and characters have depth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
