A interesting idea that falters a bit in execution

Rating: 6/10 (29 December 2016)

Passengers is a interesting tale about a man named Jim who wakes up early on a space ship and has to live a life alone in solitude on it. Sadly though he just hates being alone and makes the worst decision of his life by waking of Jennifer Lawrence's character named Auora, and from there that is how the story continues on.
Passengers is a very beautiful looking movie with a lot of great visuals. The ship that they are on looking really amazing and very cool and was one of the first things that captivated me about this film. It was so interesting just to look at. Everything about it felt lived in and part of this bigger world. This was something I found that I loved about the movie from start to finish and was defiantly its best feature.
This is also a movie with a lot of neat concepts going on in it. From the way solitude can affect us, and the decisions that we make and how they affect others around us. Sadly though the film doesn't go as far enough in those concepts as you would wish and instead tries to take a more safer route instead making for a slightly less interesting film with a narrative that feels a bit more flat and standard.
This feels like a good film that has a really great film that is trying to break free from within it. There are so many parts of the film that are still good and kept me interested as I was never bored within it, but I couldn't help but feel that it was missing something too. Something that was more thought provoking.
As it stands I do thing Passengers is a OK film to watch, but not one you need to rush out to see unless you just really want to look at the pretty visuals.
