Product: Passengers (2008)
Rating: 3.0
a la The Others but without the intrigue
This is a thriller that is supposed to have twists ad turns and keep the viewer guessing, but in the first 45 minutes of the movie I just couldn't bring myself to care about the characters. The only reason I kept watching the film is because I have tremendous respect for the leads - Anne Hathaway and Patrick Wilson. I didn't particularly care for Hathaway's character's fate, but after the first set up of the movie, I realized the feel of the film that was very reminiscent of The Others. What intrigued me the most about this movie, however, was the idea of purgatory and how one must come into terms with their own mortality and death.
