Ignore the critics -- great film!

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2017)

I saw Passengers a week ago and I haven't stopped thinking about it. It's a really good sci-fi film with a unique concept. Sure, a lot of space films deal with ideas about isolation and loneliness, but not like this. The special effects are amazing, and the design of the ship is really cool -- not something I've seen before! Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Sheen are SO good. There was great chemistry and acting from all three of them. And Thomas Newman's score sets the tone and atmosphere perfectly, and I actually think it's his best work since American beauty. His emotive score really adds to the human element of this film. Top notch.
I'm so sad to see this film get such poor reviews from the critics, because I loved it and honestly think it deserves much more praise.
