Passengers is a
2016 science-fiction film directed by Morten Tyldum and starring Chris Pratt
and Jennifer Lawrence. The lead characters are passengers on a ship destined
for a colony world and begin the film in hibernation (to allow them to make the
full 120 year trip and live on the other side) but, when something bad happens,
the two are woken up and have to solve some problems and save the ship, as well
as come to grips with the realization that they are doomed to die onboard the
ship. As a general matter, this is a film with a fascinating premise and a
beautiful production but falters in its execution.
