What to Know

Critics Consensus

Passengers proves Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence work well together -- and that even their chemistry isn't enough to overcome a fatally flawed story.

Passengers takes what could have been an interesting debate about consent and glosses it over with cheesy romance and problematic sex. Go to Full Review

The production design here is spectacular and utopian - a delirious idea of a future that's perfectable, a world without blemish. Go to Full Review

5/10
Its science-fiction premise about lovers in space starts with promising questions, but soon approaches a horizon that lacks depth and is lost, from the beginning, in a black hole of clichés. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Apr 26, 2019 I loveed all the scenes, the acting of both actor the science fictionish about it was great.
Hagrid P Apr 25, 2019 An exciting premise that fails to be memorable, Passengers brings up two out-of-camera hilarious actors and place them in a pigeonhole See more
Draco W Apr 18, 2019 If you're expecting Passengers to be a thriller for Jennifer Lawrences character, you've been fooled by the marketing previews and have missed the point of the movie. Passengers is about the lives to two mundane people (who are just like the rest of us) set in a fantastically imagined sci-fi future. For those critics of the movie, I suspect they also disliked A.I., Contact, Moon, and possibly even Blade Runner 2049. THIS REVIEW CONTAINS INCONSEQUENTIAL SPOILERS Passengers is an exploration of human relationships; the dire necessity to have them, dealing with love, hopes, desires, and mistakes of passion. Ignoring the deeply detailed sci-fi universe, this is a story about 2 people stranded on an island and living with the trials of the present, making decisions for the future, and dealing with the mistakes of the past. Both Christ Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence portray intelligent, likeable, rational people who face exaggerated luxury and threats. The sci-fi is the backdrop metaphor for the more mundane versions of what we deal with in our own lives. Both Pratt and Lawrence brings their charms to their characters which makes them both likeable, even when circumstances bring out the weaknesses (especially Pratt's character) of humans in desperation mode. The movie is consistent enough that with just a little suspension of disbelief (people focused on cynicism not included);the viewer can accept what's happening on screen. Even through Hollywood level catastrophes and resolutions, the underlying human story is enjoyable; if one is not distracted by marketing trailer previews. I love both action/explosion sci-fi, as well as cerebral/contemplative sci-fi. I was riveted with story of these 2 survivors. If you like Ex Machina but want something a little lighter with some non-rom-com love story, then watch Passengers. See more
Apr 18, 2019 It should have been better, but it's not bad what it is. If you're expecting a more thought-provoking sci-fi movie, such as Interstellar, Arrival, or The Martian, you won't find it in Passengers. However, if you're looking for an enjoyable love story set in an epic sci-fi universe, Passengers is not that bad. It's just predictable and the movie falls apart in the third act. See more
Rey W Apr 13, 2019 Passengers has action, a spacecraft, some science but above all it has romance. I personally didn't see the amount of romance coming. I thought that I was going to watch a full-on action filled science fiction movie but that turned out a little different. Still, I don't think Passengers is a bad movie at all. I just had to adjust a bit to it. The camera work and I assume green screen material was very well shot/made. It didn't look fake at all. The movie is basically built around Chris Pratt his character Jim and Jennifer Lawrence her character Aurora, both very well done. But I guess that's what you get when you put two, if you ask me, great actors together. I think Michael Sheen as Arthur was really good too. He didn't do a whole lot but I really enjoyed his presence in the movie. (does that sound weird? Probably a bit). Not the storyline I was expecting but very enjoyable nonetheless. Quite a long buildup to the action part and perhaps not the strongest ending, but hey, it's a happy one. I think the acting is what made this movie a real good one. I would like to end this review with the following words, for you all to enjoy and remember: Chris Pratt's booty Thank you and goodbye. See more
Anakin G Apr 8, 2019 Ok, probably not a go back to movie, but absolutley worth watching a first time..
