Really good film and one of the most unique I have seen all year.

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2016)

Passengers was written by Jon Spaihts (Prometheus) and directed by Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game) and I know for some reason there is a lot of hate for this film I don't see why its not prefect but out of everything I have seen this year it was oddly satisfying and very enjoyable. The movie follows Chris Pratt who plays Jim Preston waking up on the Avalon before he should and finding out they still got ninety years left till they reach the planet of Homestead II. This movie does have problems because I swear for the first forty minutes its just Chris Pratt doing things then the plot starts to develop and move forward when he is left with the decision to wake up Aurora Lane played by Jennifer Lawrence (Winters Bone) which I liked the decision he was left with it felt challenging to whether I would actually do it or not. The romance between Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt felt very well developed but it was unfortunately very predictable with Aurora finding out. Micheal Sheen (Underworld) is also in this film and he plays Arthur the most entertaining character in the film as the bartender he felt like the right comedic relief for the film and there was a surprise appearance by Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) who played Gus Mancuso who also woke up early. One thing I wish they did other then Chris Pratt messing around for forty minutes was maybe build the world around it they can't have been going for a serious tone like Alien where it would have been a huge mistake if they explored Weyland in the first film but with this a lot of scene were played off very comedic which was fine but I felt the world was underdeveloped even by explaining why there going to this planet. Overall I would recommend this film to watch if your a fan of science fiction and of course Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence.
