A space love story

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2016)

We went to see Passengers last night in La Romana in the Domenican Republic. We are on vacation from London so myself my children, and grandchildren aged 13 and 11 were in a holiday mood and we all thoroughly enjoyed Passengers. Yes we have seen some of the same plots in other space films. Gravity, The Martian,Interstellar etc. Maybe by now the critics have had enough of these type of adventures but I and my family find them very enjoyable. I say to you "expert" film critics get a life.One of the great pleasures of my life has been going to the movies and seeing a love story with redemption.My wives favourite film is Somewhere in Time, isn't that corny? No it isn't!! Just to go to the movies for a couple of hours and be entertained with terrific special effects and a happy , sad, happy love story in space with good performances by Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt and Michael Sheen , is what I call entertainment.
