What to Know

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

Will G Very good film. Too many people look for underlying meanings , what ifs and yeh buts. It's a very good science fiction adventure. Great effects, good story and no damn super heroes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Jeff H. I thought it had a good story line. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Stephen S A very solid science fiction romance film with thought provoking themes, excellent CGI, The chemistry and performances from Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence are stellar, and a musical score by Thomas Newman that is outstanding. Definitely worth a watch. Seriously underrated. This is a very touching film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Rob N Great filming & acting - great waste! Huge holes in plot, a glaring one is just waking one other passenger for company & sex, when the obvious course is to wake-up a few top experts to work out how to fix & resolve the problems. Now that's a plot & room for more! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Rob T Creative story with resonant themes of forgiveness, sacrifice for the sake of others, and making the most of what you have. Unlike movies today, CGI was believable and not distracting. Pratt, Lawrence and Fishburne sell their roles. Ending could've been happier but I'll take it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Oscar B How wonderful it must be to travel through space with a woman like Jennifer Lawrence. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
