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

Neil C Thoughtful and very well acted if a little cheesy and predictable in places. Well worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Edgar M Siempre me ha gustado mucho esa película. Me parece muy fuerte su historia. Es un drama psicológico/romance. No sé por qué los críticos la detestaron. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Shaked G Most of my opinions are opinions of visitors, but I do not understand the hate of the visitors to this movie. The story was not vary original but the characters and the sophisticated questions that appears in the movie are amazing and smart and a rank of 30% to this movie makes me warrier concerned, visitors, can you pleas recommend some different movies? Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Kal S Got a partner who likes romance movies while you prefer sci-fi (or vice-versa)? Well you're in luck, because this film does both well enough to make for an engaging two hours. The plot is simple, and some might say predictable. Yes, we know what it's all leading to—but I think that actually adds to the suspense, as we watch and wait to see when and how the inevitable train-wreck transpires. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Ralph R Passengers is a nicely crafted mix of science fiction, romance, and psychological drama. The first act stands out with its strong character buildup, focusing on the solitude and emotional struggles of a passenger unexpectedly awakened during a long space journey. The story transitions smoothly into the second act, where the connection between the characters adds warmth and charm to the film. The stunning visuals and detailed design of the Avalon create an immersive setting that keeps you engaged throughout. The movie balances lighthearted and heartfelt moments with deeper, thought-provoking themes. The interactions between the characters, from their playful explorations of the ship to the challenges they face, feel genuine and compelling. The bartender, played by Michael Sheen, is a delightful addition, offering not only humor but also memorable wisdom that elevates the film's themes of isolation and human connection. The conflicts and dilemmas presented add complexity to the narrative, making it more than just a typical space romance. Passengers wraps up with a satisfying conclusion that ties its emotional and ethical threads together. It is visually stunning, emotionally impactful, and thought-provoking, making it a solid movie that entertains while leaving you with something to think about. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Nathan F This sci-fi (romance?) had an amazing setting I wish was explored more. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
