This science nerd liked it!

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2017)

Some of the early reviews waved off this movie for it's lack of "plausible science". I beg to differ. I had way more issues with Interstellar. Passengers is a complete movie, executed perfectly. You will not hate yourself for buying a ticket. For me Passengers is a "next-day" movie, I'm still thinking about it the day after. The effects are perfect. The script is organic and at times funny. The story is compelling. The acting was excellent. It's a movie that has something for everyone, not just sci-fi nerds. I'm glad I saw this movie!
There are few Hollywood movies that depict the laws of nature perfectly. The movies that get science right tend to be stiff and pedantic. Films that abandon science tend to be goofy comic book fair. There seems to be a trade off, give up science for story. Passengers is the perfect blend for me.
