Review of Passengers (2016) by Febvelano — 23 Dec 2016

The trailer of this movie were made in a bit misleading way. I gave them 9 out of 10 for successfully doing this (it misleading in a good way, similar like the trailer of horror movie “The Boy”). I mean the actors / actres, CGI effect, and story was just out of the question for both inspiring and mind blowing. Some people might say that the story is too simple, but it was never about how simple or complex the story if you were presented with so many fundamental moral & etiquette questions (take a look the movie “Interstellar” or “Gravity”, which basically have a very simple story). What makes it so interesting is that “Passengers” was able to capture those very essence of what it likes to be human being, no matter how vast superior technology & achievement we got in this universe. We’re still human with feelings & emotion, sense of humor / anger, sense of hope / lost. It’s great movie with taste of humor, romance, action, science & more importantly good ending.

The reason why only 9 out of 10 is because some scene don’t seems logical to me not because it’s not scientifically accurate, but simply because they didn’t include an additional scene that can be used to support that scientific accuracy. So the audience need to re-think / re-imagine the theory behind it.
