An abundantly clichéd, melodramatic slog...

Rating: 4/10 (18 November 2017)

I was quite surprised that it got mostly negative reviews last year, it seemed promising. Now I know why. It is an abundantly clichéd, melodramatic slog that squanders potential to explore deep humanistic themes and twist its narrative, instead coping out with underdeveloped romance and cheap thrills. It ends up being Titanic in space. Aside from its dazzling and immersive production design and music, Passengers is nothing new or interesting.
