Your worst nightmare: alone in space

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2017)

Passengers is an original story that leads us to reflect, whether on human relations, human existence or even technical and artificial progress. Finally, these are questions which correspond mainly to the psychological field and which do not have all the time an answer (this is precisely what makes them annoying and hard to bear)
The duo Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are doing pretty well. The characters they are playing are endearing. Forced to notice that one attaches immediately to the character of Jim, then to that of Aurora. At different stages of the film, I was surprised to ask myself "what would have I done in his place?" Some choices made by the characters may seem unfair to us but they are finally justified. Indeed, the human factor is not to be neglected and is often put forward; the characters (and actors) go from laughter to tears with perfect mastery.
The sets are impressive and the special effects are very successful (I think about the scene where Aurora's swimming in the pool, when gravity ceases, water in weightlessness is remarkably realized)
Passengers allows us to observe a future arousing our curiosity but which, as we discover it, also gives way to fear and anguish. The machines can prove as beneficial as they are harmful, and this is what Passengers wanted to stage. Fortunately, love always triumphs (at least in films)
A very good movie, captivating from beginning to end.
