Sci-Fi at it's best!

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2017)

This is a movie that almost has it all. Those who didn't like it were probably disappointed by the lack of earthling fighting alien scenes, because there were none. It's more like Gravity, except much better.
I've always been disappointed by the lack of good science fiction movies. While it's fun to see alien/earthling battles, science offers fiction so many other possibilities, although we mostly just concentrate on those that are the most outlandish. But it's actually quite fun to dream about what may be realistically possible and isn't out of the realm of reality.
That's where Passengers exceeded greatly, despite the liberties taken with some scientific truths. The movie presented a futuristic, realistic situation and explored it to the hilt, while throwing in some drama and romance along the way. The romantic subplot was also done very well, even though it was only a subplot. The futuristic gadgets were interesting and provided intrigue, as well.
The movie explores a future world that's quite believable and possible, so I think this must have been what it was like to read Asimov, Clarke or Verne in their time. This is coming from a viewer who hated the last 3 Star Wars movies, but considers Bicentennial Man one of the better Sci-Fi movies in recent times, so take my opinion for what it's worth to you.
