Practically a movie about a rapey Stalker and the object of his Desire

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2016)

This was a terrible example of how modern romance tales have become about veiled manipulation and reluctant acceptance of forced circumstances.
IF not for the decent effects and most of the basic sci fi elements being fairly scientific and plausible, this dumb wannabe romance flick would have been little more than a tense thriller about a guy going to any lengths to get laid. Which is pretty much was.
People stuck on a space ship, and things go wrong. Ooooooo watch out Isaac Asimov, you are about to be outshone. Start rolling in your collective graves sci fi pioneers... =_=
The main character is a guy whom has manipulated a woman into seeing him as not only the single object of her attention and affection, but with absolutely NO other choices for even emotional support the tale falls into the category of sociopathic, sexual predation drama. OHI BUT Wait, there's stars and its kinda romantic *spits*. This movie was like a space age version of Cloverfield Lane, except John Goodman's character was not trying to manipulate a female into making it with him. As far as we know.
The Passengers predictability, coupled with cheaply placed star roles and the allusions to elitists plans to escape our dying world for another place to trash was a ceaseless thorn. Any other genre, and this movie would have been a sexual, racey thriller with deviant overtones.
For those of you whom were paying attention, the stupidest thing was the fact that the main character was a full fledged engineer able to rig a device to put his preyed upon female companion back into stasis, yet he could not construct another console with the multitudes of spare parts he constantly stated were present aboard ship. He could have gone back into stasis too. He could have brushed up on so many fields of science and learned how to rig any number of tools to suit his needs. BUt there's a reason the actor playing him has the last name of Pratt( cue UK English speakers recognition of this word). Stream it if you must. If multitudes of people on sites like IMDb can only give most films a 7/10, the film is far worse than most are capable of recognizing.
