Food for thought

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2017)

The first thing I read about «Passengers» is that it was a poorly made movie, with an equal poor plot.
After seeing the movie I can only tell the so-called professionals: Pure Hogwash.
Passengers is actually a good movie, with a good plot. Morten Tyldum has done a good job, and John Spaihts has written a good script full of suspense, intense and interesting ideas and questions.
The many philosophical questions raised in the plot are highly interesting and are well worth pondering.
Most important is not whether it could happen or not, but of course What would you have done in this situation. It is not a question of whether it is possible – but if it was possible, what would the solution to the various quandaries be.
If you want not only good entertainment, but also food for thought, this is two hours well worth spending in the darkness of the theater.
