Review of Passengers (2016) by Roygolan — 12 May 2017
Positive.
+ Great performances from all actors. Chris Pratt in particular gives a very good and relatable performance.
+ Movie succeeds in conveying the feeling of being alone in space and allows the viewer imagine what he or she would do in that situation.
+ Movie succeeds in showing the struggle the main character is going through when being alone and when facing with his main ethical dilemma about the other passenger.
+ The movie successfully raising philosophical questions about the meaning of life, life expectancy, life goals and loneliness.
+ Very nice visuals and good depiction of what a futuristic spaceship interior might actually look like in real life.
Negative.
- Plot is somewhat plain, but it serves the story of the movie and the points it wanted to make.
- Not many action sequences, but perhaps that wasn't one of the main goals of the movie.
- Andy Garcia's cameo was weird and unnecessary, especially because it happened near the end of the movie.
Good movie with a lot of atmosphere that also manages to raise some interesting philosophical and ethical questions.
