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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Sydney Morning Herald

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

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

Visually the movie is appealing. The set design is fine and the effects are not distracting. The most redeeming quality is that both actors are at their prime attractiveness. Other than that there's not much to recommend. If you attempt to watch this movie using and sense of logic or reasoning, you will end up just being infuriated. This is not truly science fiction. It's a contrived stalker or creep's fantasy romance - in Space!

Interesting concept but moves too slowly. Probably those two are going to have sex, but I am not patient enough to wait until then. If they manage to return to earth, please text me at (484) 555 5555. Much obliged!

I’ve seen Passengers a few times and it’s always somewhat entertaining. This was at the height of JLaw and Pratt’s powers and they had the intended impact. Good acting that largely is done opposite no one or each other. I enjoyed the movie each time. It’s a cool premise but you have to suspend belief for a few things. One is that Jim (Pratt), somehow knows how to fix everything. Amazing how the one passenger who wakes up can do all the necessary items to fix the ship. Wish Fishburne had more of a role but he served as a necessary foil to advance the story. Could’ve used one final scene with the main characters instead of a voice over.
