Passengers

Three decades into a 120-year trip to colonise a new world, two of the starship Avalon’s passengers emerge from cryosleep prematurely. With nearly a century to go and no way back, Jim (Chris Pratt) and Aurora (Jennifer Lawrence) are, for all intents and purposes, the last two people alive.

Passengers is two-thirds of an amazing movie, a sci-fi romance that gives its heart away too early and doesn’t know what to do with itself after that.

Imagine being trapped on a spaceship with only your lover and a robot bartender for nearly a century; there isn't a spaceship big enough or a bar that well-stocked to make that sound appealing. This is the issue at the center of the ostensibly "romantic" sci-fi drama "Passengers," directed by Morten Tyldum from a script by Jon Spaihts.

There are so many points along the way when the stranded-in-space drama “Passengers,” which is not a good movie, could have made different choices and become one.
