Solid Sci-Fi - Passengers

Rating: 7/10 (5 December 2018)

Buckle up, its going to be a bumpy ride. The three lead actors make this a very entertaining film, and one could even say the bartender steals the film. The film is well-directed, and the production values are impressive. The story about a colony going off into space on a trip that takes over 100 years is interesting, and even more interesting is when a malfunction causes one of the passengers to awake just a bit prematurely; about 90 years prematurely. After a year of agonizing, the passenger decides to wake a beautiful woman to keep him company; in essence, robbing her of her life on the future planet. I will not reveal the results of this desperate attempt to relieve loneliness. Suffice it to say there are complications. Great special effects and a solid story; can't ask for much more in sci-fi.
