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.

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.

Everything, besides the budget, is on par with a Hallmark Christmas film. This whole movie piss me off.

The movie starts promissing. Then builds up a moral dilemma for a very long time, simply to drop the whole issue immediatly after some forced drama and illogical stuff regarding the spacecraft. For hours you wait for any progress in the story, for example you have to wait for around 40 minutes until the conflict between Aurora and Jim for his immoral decision starts and lasts for about 10 minutes, result: She forgives him. Then the whole dilemma would REALLY start when they find out the ship with 5000 inhabitants is in danger, the logical question would be to wake up all of the technical crew to make the ultimate sacrifice. But the movie simply SKIP this, "no time to wake them up" as they waited for years already. Then a cheap action scene starts, Jim becomes a superhero, they live in love and peace forever....the end. Very weak writing, not to recommend.

To be brutally honest, I was low-key hoping for Jim to die, and for Aurora to face the same loneliness dilemma some time down the line. And cut. The actual ending is so ridiculously bucolic that I'm not sure whether to laugh, or to despair. Forget quickly is probably the right thing to do.

"What a ridiculous movie! I wasted my time watching this nonsense. They suffered, struggled, and loved each other, only to die before even reaching the planet! Are you kidding me?! The director and writer completely ruined the story. They should have let them arrive alive! This could have been a masterpiece, but instead it’s frustrating, pointless, and infuriating. I can’t believe they made such a stupid choice!"

This is one of those films where you should ignore the ‘critics’ reviews and read what the actual audience thinks - I really enjoyed it, good effects, great acting and thought provoking storyline- I’d definitely recommend it! 🚀❤️

It's a tragedy that the movie is rated so poorly on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a fantastic movie with great acting and an original story.
