the romance is not the main theme luckily

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2017)

When my teen daughter asked me to go watch this flick i agreed on therms that it wasn't going to be a love story which is for me the kind of thing I don't want to see. Have seen the trailer it looked okay so I gave it a try.
And in the beginning I did like it a lot, pure sci-fi which I thought was okay. But I was afraid once Jennifer Lawrence (Aurora) would come into this pure sci-fi it would quickly turn into a love story, which finally did. But did it bother me, not at all, because there were jokes mixed into the story which made me forget about the love between Aurora and Jim (Chris Pratt). And of course I did know that the bartender Arthur (Michael Sheen) did have a naughty side.
Luckily the love came on the second side because the space ship needed to be rescued. Naturally this kind of flicks don't have blood or real action going on but there are a few moments that makes you want to see what will happen.
On part of the effects used they are really stunning. The gravitation being removed in the spaceship does things with aurora in a swimming pool and that is really a must see. So having extreme good effects, a bit of jokes here and there and a good story made it all watchable even for an old fart as me.
I hated 'The 5th Wave (2016)' for so man reasons but Passengers, well, I did like it.
