A Movie I Loved plus a Lame Hollywood Ending

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2017)

This movie received some bad reviews because people were expecting a summer blockbuster and instead they got a quiet, character-driven piece of science fiction. Too often people think science fiction is all laser guns and space ship battles. But this is a story about people and what it means to be a human.
What Passengers succeeded in doing was building two thoroughly real and flawed people and creating the movies tension through their interactions.
To be fair to the critics, the ending of this movie was weak and uninspiring. Perhaps no one could see what made the first 90 minutes so original because the last 25 minutes were so drool.
