Disappointment resulting of great expectations

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2017)

SPOILER-WARNING!!! When I first read of the movie Passengers, I was thrilled. Yet another exciting film about colonization and traveling to another planet. After seeing the trailer my hopes were up!
I have quite a high standard for when it comes to sci-fi movies. Even if my favorite series as child was Star-Trek. The most desirable features in a movie for me are: a great plot that is carried all the way throughout the film, great characters, authenticity, attention to detail and hi-def quality. I have great respect for movies that have been recorded using high quality-cameras so that every move is captured thus creating more believable and beautiful-looking scenes by showing the whole movement-series. The more I find out that thought has been put to every single detail, the more pleased I become.
To get to my point I have to start by saying that my favorite disappointments (interstellar, gravity) have a few things in common: they leave my questions unanswered, they make great promises, have huge build-ups and end up letting me down. Usually with and ending that isn't satisfying or For some reason seems to be different from rest of the film.
And this one wasn't any different. Movie that could've been great. But didn't live up to it's possibilities and therefore didn't deliver, couldn't get to the finish-line.
So why was I so frustrated? For numerous reasons, first one being that only a few of the big questions were answered. Too many questions were left unanswered: for example why didn't the man wake up any technicians? Why didn't the man try to do everything in his power to figure out why he woke up? (And if he did - the movie did a poor job explaining) Why didn't the girl go back to sleep? What happened when they got to their destination? How was life in the colony? The ending scene lasted approximately 10 seconds and left everything hanging. I was so disappointed that I wanted to scream. Why???? Why?? Why???
So I'm left to ponder: did the time to process the film run out, did their money run out or were they just so insecure that they left a whole movie without a decent ending to please a crowd that thinks a movie which is longer than 2 hours isn't their idea of time and money well-spent?
