Review of Passengers (2016) by Edward H — 04 Feb 2017
I don't understand why the critics panned this movie, it's well worth watching. As a middle-aged fan of scifi I really enjoyed it. The story explores some interesting ideas about space exploration, colonization, and the human condition.
While not exactly "hard scifi" it was good scifi. Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, and Michael Sheen all deliver a solid performance. I really enjoyed their characters. Maybe it's because I'm a huge fan of Laurence Fishburne, and have high expectations anytime I watch him work, but I thought he was a bit flat in this one.
Still, not horrible, just not his best. Overall, this was a very solid production, worth the time and money to see on the big screen.
