Date Rape Saga that Belongs in Guiness Book of Records

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2017)

Wow, talk about switching gears! The first 30 mins of this film is WONDERFUL. Considering the recent competition (Matt Damon, Sandra Bullock) the first 30 minutes of Passengers is right in there, a contender, fighting for the hearts and minds of the viewer.
The accidental awakening, the obvious commerciality of the ship, the fact that Pratt's character cannot access anything more than coffee on the breakfast computer, the constant reassurances from the 'bots that "all is well" (reminds you of what happens when you call your cable company) ... all the seemed the perfect setup for a really great LOST IN SPACE film.
But. Alas, such was not to be. Instead the film takes a sharp right turn into rom-com town, and gives us perhaps the most elaborate date rape saga in the history of the human race.
Pity.
Closing comments: Pratt sells his character. Lawrence does not. There is no chemistry, even in the scenes where there is SUPPOSED to be chemistry.
Would have liked to see the same film with Anna Farris (Pratt's real life wife) playing the female lead. Would have been more interesting.
