Quote

To recap, 1.) Passengers is bad. 2.) Michael Sheen is great. 3.) As for the rest, save your money. D+

 

Emphatically negative

 

[Noctis]

Those are some disappointing reviews.

 

Also, futurist is going to post soon enough and blast everyone that dislikes the film as pretentious.

It seems like this and Collateral Beauty are this year's winners in the "When Bad Movies Happen to Big Stars" sweepstakes.

 

I'll still definitely see this, but my expectations are very low at this point.

Oh FFS.  What a waste.  Why not use a day player.

Scott Mendelson liked it. That was all I want to know. 

[Valonqar]

It's a bloodbath. 

[JennaJ]

Eh.

This interstellar sci-fi misfire dreams up one of the most intriguing ‘what would you do?’ scenarios in recent movie memory – and takes it precisely nowhere. [F]or the most part ‘Passengers’ is so anodyne, so frightened of the ethically troubling opportunities inherent in the setup that it just ends up feeling forgettable and silly. Made with half the budget by a filmmaking team wiling to take a few risks, this could have been sharp, sadistic and special. As it is, you’ll be longing for a nice nap yourself by the end.

By the time Passengers hits its underwhelming finale, you almost wish that it didn't start out so strong, just because it's basically all a set up for disappointment.

Essentially amounts to a risable two-hour exhibit of sci-fi Stockholm Syndrome.

December 15, 2016

Part space romance, part space thriller and all space corn, Passengers is a messy and unconvincing mash-up that tries to get by on the not inconsiderable charm of stars Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt.

"Passengers" is the tale of a lonely guy in space, the drama of an ethical conundrum, a love story featuring two of the hottest actors on the planet, and a turbulent sci-fi action-adventure - and for all of that, it manages to be not a very good movie.

Passengers is a sweeping romance about true star-crossed lovers, offering adults a different kind of space opera.

I might do a double feature of this and AC just because I have nothing better to do, but these reviews are not good. Woof.

And your mortal enemy Sing is looking to be the only Christmas opener to actually get good reviews in the bunch.  BOOM!
