Review of Passengers (2016) by Smoothrunner — 27 Dec 2016

At last I've found a really decent SciFi Hollywood movie. To be frank I can't remember when it was last time I saw a quality science fiction film. Until now. Either them were boring or pretentious or, in case of "Interstellar" a bad, melodramatic rip-off of Paul Anderson's story "Kyrie". But this one, the "Passengers" has returned my hope that SciFi movie genre is not dead and there are still good directors and screenwriters in completely "Lucasized" Hollywood.

You'll found no stupid killings or preachy here. You'll find no sound in space either. No "star wars" rubbish. And You'll disagree with the main hero - he is weak, egoistic man. But still. All of us have a chance to repent. The ways of God are mysterious. And maybe some of us must follow our destiny regardless of circumstances. Yep, the film will provoke you to think about some things. At least some of you :) And that is what makes SciFi great - to show how human remain human in an inhuman conditions. To conduct mental experiments about our moral and integrity. Nice movie indeed.
