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.

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.

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

5/10

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]

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

This movie was about to leave Netflix so I thought I should watch it. Pratt is shockingly charmless and unappealing in this role, and that ruins the movie from the start. His lack of range and failure to appear as an 'everyman' makes all of his copious screen time painful to watch. His decision to wake up a beautiful woman because he's lonely is unforgivable, no matter the contrived justifications the script cobbles in. Lawrence is the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal, space creep odyssey. Watch only if you want something to mock.

I love sci-fi and especially the ones where there’s a slow build. I thought the actors were great. This movie deserves more credit.

I think the graphics were great and the acting was good. Obviously it’s a bit odd, but it does pose a hard question about the loneliness of life, and how far one is willing to go to avoid that loneliness. It’s a smart movie which isn’t taken so well by a lot of people. There are some hard truths in the movie which shouldn’t be ignored. If you are a sci fi fan, it’s worth your time.

Bottom line is the movie Passengers is a extremely underrated movie. I'm generally shocked that it got such a low rating from critics.... But from what I see they have a problem with waking up and sacrificing another person.... That's the intent of the movie. Do you chastise a drowning victim that pulls down his rescuer? I SWEAR CRITICS HAVE LOST THEIR WAY AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GOOD ENTERTAINMENT IS ANYMORE Chris Pratt's character is torn and tormented from this decision... He basically was tortured for a year and couldn't dread dying alone Visually the movie is incredible and the story is intriguing. Their romance seems genuine, along with the anger that comes later, & inspiration to fix a problem. If you haven't seen this movie, do it immediately. Do not listen to the critics.
