Passengers Reviews
Its science-fiction premise about lovers in space starts with promising questions, but soon approaches a horizon that lacks depth and is lost, from the beginning, in a black hole of clichés. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 5/10 | May 13, 2024
Passengers has a lot going for it, but the entire treatment feels mishandled, misguided, and a missed opportunity.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 5, 2022
Passengers biggest issue is its finale.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 14, 2022
The worse possible waste of a heap of charisma
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 10, 2022
It becomes clear before long that the futuristic sci-fi outing Passengers, aka Grab 'Em By the P***y: The Movie, could only have been written by a man.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2021
As an exploration of human isolation and a moral fable about personal freedom, however, Passengers is threadbare and trite.

A few tweaks could have turned it into a creepy look at Jim's desperation or an amusing film about technology gone wrong - imagine if Hal from 2001 was an automated customer service attendant - but instead its done in by the story's sexist undercurrent.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2021
Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence can't even save this sinking ship. This movie is a boat you should miss.

The last-man-on-earth concept isn't exactly new, but adapting it into a far-flung intergalactic environment provides oodles of potential.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 5, 2020
An ultimately unsatisfying yet passable from a cast capable of and likely expecting so much more.
| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 19, 2020
What he does next is unforgivable, as is his duplicitous cover up, but perhaps a smarter, bleaker film could have played it as a brutal moral dilemma faced by a desperate man who must then face the consequences.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 26, 2020
It's rare to find a film in which one problem is so morally reprehensible that it ruins the entire thing.
| Original Score: C- | Jul 15, 2020
There's a saying that in space, no one can hear you scream. After watching Passengers, in space, no one can hear you endlessly groan or watch you roll your eyes.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 15, 2020
Passengers has no idea how to deal with the consequences of its choices, so it simply chooses not to.
| Original Score: D | Jul 2, 2020
I had fun in this movie.

It was like a Nicholas Sparks action movie in space.

From here the movie descends into blandness and stays there until the whimper of an ending.

The good news is, in six months, nobody will remember that Passengers ever existed.

It's rare for being good sci fi that doesn't involve zapping things with ray guns. It's a story about how technology sometimes puts people in impossible situations that no human has ever been faced with before.
| Jan 15, 2020
The considerable charisma and chemistry of Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence keep the sci-fi adventure Passengers afloat, even if the script easily fixes its most fascinating problems.
