Passengers(2016)-Movie review

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2018)

Passengers is the story of Starship Avalon, who´s making a 120 year voyage to the Homestead Colony.One of the passengers happens to wake up 90 years early, the movie follows his life, and the life of another passenger during that period.
Passengers is a romantic sci-fi feature that has an interesting premisse for a story, however it is weighted down by a poorly written and developed script, the movie never manages to be as interesting as it could be.
Visually however the movie is great, the visual effects, the cinematography, and the production design really help to give the movie a reallistic feel.
The cast is good, Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt have a chemistry that works, there are good moments to be found with these two.
The movie has also some problems with the genre, it is a times a romance, a sci-fi, a comedy, and a thriller too, but it ends up just being a mess.
Passengers has an original premisse for a movie, a good cast, and it is beautfiull to look, however it is also poorly written, developed, directed and suffers from an inconsistent tone.Wasted potential unfortunately.
6.4/10
