Passengers Audience Reviews

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
