I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Admirable film.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
He is able to look up profiles on everyone on the ship, but doesn't decide to look for a pod mechanic that could of put them both back to sleep...
Now this is a tough movie for me to judge, because I love the 2 leads. Both have so good screen presence that they almost made this movie look good. And like mentioned in title, movie looks good.But as my rating would suggest I obviously had some issues with movie:1. Why wouldn't they wake someone else, because they obviously can. Why not wake pilot of ship? 2. How they can handle themselves in space, they're not astronauts.
I really enjoyed PASSENGERS. Both Lawrence and Pratt are completely engrossing and play very sympathetic characters. Their romance is very believable, with its highs and its lows.There is one huge plot hole, although I agree it may be asking too much to want consistency from such a wildly futuristic plot. Lawrence's character says she has booked passage back to Earth after a year's stay on Homestead II. This means at Homestead II there must be technology to put people into hibernation. Does it make any sense that this technology would be on the remote bare-bones outpost, instead of on the ship itself? Not to me. But that would eviscerate the dilemma that drives the entire plot.
(Please note that this review might contain spoilers).If you have enjoyed the historic sci-fi movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey, then you'll probably fall in love with Passengers (2016). There is a lot of choices for all sorts of professionals working in movie making, the novelist chooses what details he uses to build the story, the director selects the ways he sees fit to lead the actors, ..etc.; and in this movie it seems to me that all professionals have made the excellent choices. The story of Passengers (2016) is extremely balanced. For those who criticize some role that appeared and disappeared without reason, I want them to imagine how boring and complicated the story will be if extra characters were emotionally involved, or how strange it'll be for a major incident to affect only one person. The selection of how events went by, has made the story to bring heavy-weight ideas, about human emotional and reasonable behavior, how a crisis may affect reason and how reason changes a crisis. The story is a nicely ordered hard-core sci-fi, means the science facts were fully respected during all parts (not like other over-rated ridiculous sci-fi movies such as Arrival). Visuals are extraordinarily beautiful, alongside a very precise and professional directing. The start of the movie is pretty powerful, as the end is. Passengers is a great movie, and deserves general rating of 9 at least. 10/10 without a moment pause.
