Review of Passengers (2016) by Nedryerson1 — 12 Feb 2017

Passengers is the new movie of Morten Tyldum, so the expectations were dangerously high. The argument is actually new, seems repeated but you’ll discover is not, a bit difficult to understand why someone would take such decision, but never mind.

The plot is boring from the beginning till the very end, with desperate intends to save it, which made it worst. Basically is a romantic comedy but in space, a strange combination, that certainly doesn’t worked out.

There is an opportunity of making a difference at the outcome, however is wasted, resulting in cheap sentimentalism and a predictive finale. The performances are terrible and the chemistry as couple is non-existing.

The direction is very weak and better don’t speak of the screenplay. Really hard to believe that is was from the same director of Imitation Game, I don’t know if he suffer a concussion in his head or what, but is an awful work.

The only good thing in the entire film is the cool design of the spaceship.
