Good bones, bad plot.

Rating: 2/10 (15 April 2017)

Just as others have mentioned, the trailer for Passengers leads you to believe that both Jennifer and Chris awaken at the same time and eventually fall in love. For the life of me, I don't understand why they didn't make the movie this way. Then, it could have at least been classified as a love story and somewhat decent. But the way it goes down, it seemed very selfish and disturbing and I had trouble finishing it after that.
Imagine that Chris isn't as handsome or charming, or even better that Jennifer's character is engaged to someone who's already at the homestead or better yet on the ship still sleeping! Any kind of actual conflict would have made for a better, fuller movie, but what we're left with is a boring and misogynistic waste of 2 hours.
It really is a shame as all the elements are there for what could have been an awesome movie, great actors, a seemingly hefty budget and an interesting idea. Only it falls flat, lending itself neither to romance nor science fiction. Very disappointing.
