Anti-'Gravity' - In Space No One Can Hear You Yawn

Rating: 6/10 (13 January 2017)

PASSENGERS (2016) ** Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen, Laurence Fishburne, Andy Garcia. Logy romantic sci-fi set in deep space where a ship full of colonists sent from Earth finds two of its denizens suddenly awakened way-too-early in advance (lonely Pratt and unknowing Lawrence) who fall in love and discover that life is truly a challenge in spite of the odds surmounting their cosmic journey. While the production design is handsome and sharply executed the direction by Morten Tyldum is leaden and rather dull as well as the pedestrian and far-too-predictable screenplay by Jon Spaihts. In Space No One Can Hear You Yawn; Think more like 'Anti-'Gravity'.
