Review of Passengers (2016) by Itmo — 28 Dec 2016
A Sci-Fi film that forgot the Sci-Fi. This film is very, very slow, and doesn't ever get to a climax that equates to the amount of build up the film forces the audience to endure. It felt a lot like the German/Austrian Sci-Fi "Cargo", which was 100 times better. There are times in the film, were it could have veered off the cliche course of every other typical film, and made something interesting and memorable. But, alas, it fails to take a chance and employs the same boring plot that has been done too many times before.
The story in a nutshell - Man wakes up, is lonely, wakes up girl, girl gets angry, ship has a failure, somehow the dude fixes the ship, dies trying, girl brings dude back to life just in time to to make for a boring cliche plot and all is forgiven, happily ever after.
