It’s enough to make you wonder if the work that Aurora longs to write has been a self-help book all along." - The Hollywood Reporterĩ. "Given the imaginative setup and the material’s provocative questions about mortality - not to mention the future of humankind - the movie’s neat lessons about the nature of happiness and a life well lived feel too easy, too obvious.

But this is a big-budget sci-fi action romance starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence, probably our two biggest movie stars, so instead, we get what amounts to a somewhat skeezy meet-cute in space." - The Village VoiceĨ. "That’s an astonishing and horrific decision, and if Passengers had any real guts, it might have pursued the idea to some genuinely uncomfortable places. And it ends up as nearly as cold and creepy as the space it takes us through." - New York Daily Newsħ. It loses some of its warmth, and most of its charm. "That sets things off on a bad course - and although the movie doesn't immediately crash and burn, it never, ever recovers.
As it is, you’ll be longing for a nice nap yourself by the end." - Time Out LondonĦ. Made with half the budget by a filmmaking team willing to take a few risks, this could have been sharp, sadistic, and special. "For the most part Passengers is so anodyne, so frightened of the ethically troubling opportunities inherent in the setup, that it just ends up feeling forgettable and silly. "In Passengers, the big romantic spacewalk is so perfunctory and visually rote that it’s about as stunning as a glimpse out the window of an airplane cruising over Cleveland.What’s lackluster about Passengers isn’t just that the movie is short on surprise, but that it’s like a castaway love story set in the world’s largest, emptiest shopping mall in space." - Varietyĥ. And the problem is, the movie doesn’t even know how profoundly creepy it is." - Entertainment WeeklyĤ.
In fact, it’s pretty bad.Lawrence plays Aurora Lane (a name that could only belong to a character in a bad movie or an adult film), a journalist who wakes up thinking that Jim is her savior when, in fact, he’s her.there’s really no other word for it, he’s her captor. Even HAL the computer got more of a chance to explain himself in 2001: A Space Odyssey than ever gets hashed out here between Jim and Aurora." - The Wrapģ.
"The save-the-ship mayhem is not only routinely rendered, but the operatically emotional rehabilitation mechanics are almost comical, and come with more iffy motivations when everything ultimately plays out.
"Aurora’s fairy tale name is somehow not the script’s biggest clunker it’s laden with head-slappingly bad dialogue that even Pratt and Lawrence can’t pull off, like an exchange that sees Jim telling Aurora he was giving her space, only for her to respond, 'Ugh! Space! The one thing I do not need more of!'" - IndiewireĢ. Read on for some of the meanest reviews of the movie. There's also the dialogue, the chemistry, and basically everything but the spaceship. Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt's new space romance Passengers is already getting some backlash for its controversial plot twist, but that's not the only thing critics don't like about it.
