Mindless movie for date-nights, solely saved by its casting choices

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 2020)

This movie is going to be picked for many date movie nights and I can see it doing its job of entertaining couples very well. I attribute this mostly to Chris Pratt's and Jennifer Lawrence's on-screen chemistry and less to the script. It offers a bit of charming romcom, lots of over-the-top action and a bit of drama. Sadly, the movie didn't do more with its interesting premise: If you were stranded somewhere, would you want to have somebody with you? Even if that person would have to suffer the same fate as you? Pratt woke up Lawrence because he couldn't live alone for the rest of his live. It is both emotionally understandable and morally wrong. In terms of the movie, the consequences were predictable and the timing was anti-climatic, leading to the low-point in the story arc before the movie resolves in action-schlock.
