A Good Space Flick

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2016)

Despite the negative reviews, Passengers provided an entertaining journey with a nice little love story mixed in.
Passengers isn't breaking any new ground with the theme of a space crew aboard a ship riddled with problems and it felt somewhat reminiscent of Pandorum minus the space monsters plus the love story.
Chris Pratt (Jim) awakens prematurely with 90 years left on his journey to a planet that promises a new beginning. After some long contemplation he decides to awaken another passenger (Jennifer Lawrence as Aurora) to help make his years more bearable.
This is where the real story of Passengers begins and shows the evolution of Jim and Aurora's relationship as well as the turmoils they face as passengers.
The visuals and score of this film are outstanding and help really reinforce the emotions of certain scenes.
If you're looking for a space flick with a decent story and heart, Passengers is a great choice.
