On a routine journey through space to a new home, two passengers, sleeping in suspended animation, are awakened 90 years too early when their ship malfunctions. As Jim and Aurora face living the rest of their lives on board, with every luxury they could ever ask for, they begin to fall for each other, unable to deny their intense attraction until they discover the ship is in grave danger. With the lives of 5,000 sleeping passengers at stake, only Jim and Aurora can save them all.

Critics Consensus

Passengers proves Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence work well together -- and that even their chemistry isn't enough to overcome a fatally flawed story.

Passengers takes what could have been an interesting debate about consent and glosses it over with cheesy romance and problematic sex.

The film's greatest sin is its intrinsic dullness.

The production design here is spectacular and utopian - a delirious idea of a future that's perfectable, a world without blemish.

5/10

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]

Passengers has a lot going for it, but the entire treatment feels mishandled, misguided, and a missed opportunity.

I could watch again easily.look I don't get the hate this movie it's good.if we get the girl pov it's will be better ofc. It's had high potential to much much better and even multiple part for my view but I think they just went to easy cozy film and nothing wrong with that. I love JL and that's all.

It’s a beautiful shot film about the desperation of loneliness, isolation and survival. Both actors were great in this. I’ve seen it twice now and I enjoyed it even more the second time

Passengers is a beautiful and unsettling film. And kind of a nice mellow watch for late night. A lot of people seem to hate the plot, which is weird because it isn’t a Marvel movie but a morally complex sci-fi movie with morally grey characters. The whole point is that in space and all alone you would make different decision than you would on Earth. J Law could have done a better job though.

This film tries to justify the main character raping the other. I found it not only insulting but just wrong. It makes you wonder if the principle actors actually read the script

I'm amazed this movie is now ten years old. I'm glad I finally got around to watching it. It got such bad reviews from critics when it came out, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. SF is a difficult genre to nail. It can be woefully depressing, stupid, cliche, and unbelievable if not done right. I honestly think this movie nailed the balance between humor & drama, hope & despair. The special effects are gorgeous, the actors are equally gorgeous, and the story sucked me in and kept me engaged through the whole ride. I give it a thumbs up and recommend it to anyone who enjoys SF.
