Excellent, a Must See

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Now this is a tough movie for me to judge, because I love the 2 leads. Both have so good screen presence that they almost made this movie look good.
And like mentioned in title, movie looks good.But as my rating would suggest I obviously had some issues with movie:1. Why wouldn't they wake someone else, because they obviously can. Why not wake pilot of ship?
2. How they can handle themselves in space, they're not astronauts.

This movie was better than I thought it would be. I thought it would be just another throw away sci fi film. But it was much more than that. The cast is small with only two main characters which are played by both Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt who both do phenomenal acting in this movie. With such a small cast this film very much relies on character development and we get a lot of that. If you are expecting a fast past survival sci fi space movie than look somewhere else because this is a "slow" movie which some people might not like but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Getting to learn more and more about the characters and what their reasons are for being on this ship in space was great. It slowly grows on you and so do these characters in what I call a dramatic sci fi romance story. The movie explores themes of fulfillment, and what exactly living happily where you are means. Over all great movie with great cinematography, acting, score, story, and character development.

I really enjoyed PASSENGERS. Both Lawrence and Pratt are completely engrossing and play very sympathetic characters. Their romance is very believable, with its highs and its lows.There is one huge plot hole, although I agree it may be asking too much to want consistency from such a wildly futuristic plot. Lawrence's character says she has booked passage back to Earth after a year's stay on Homestead II. This means at Homestead II there must be technology to put people into hibernation. Does it make any sense that this technology would be on the remote bare-bones outpost, instead of on the ship itself? Not to me. But that would eviscerate the dilemma that drives the entire plot.

A good scenario and a decent budget for this movie made this one one of the better sci-fi movies in recent times.
