Passengers (2016)

To me, this movie is perfection.

A different way of telling a story

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

To begin with, the film seems quite interesting if you can forgive the 'nods' (nods?! More like gaping rip offs) to 2001: Space Odyssey and The Shining bar. It started off well and around the middle when Aurora learns of Jims secret, things seem to pick up and feel tense. But after this, it becomes something more that resembles Titanic in Space and the turns into a vomit inducing love story that leaves all shred of science and beliavility at the door. It started well, but by the end I was bored and didn't feel satisfied at all. Especially with everything that had happened prior to the 'Titanic' scenario, the ending just feels like a unicorns magic dust fart in the face of the audience.The cinematography is beautiful. The acting superb. But the story in itself, starts off promising and then just collapses into too many deux ex machina in too short a time, with an ending that just made me physically feel sick from how corny amd deflating it was.

It's very nicely crafted with decent touch given with might be huge investment.I liked the most of the things about many facilities available but it's still not enough as per my point of view, might be due to budgetary issue or due to shortening the time-span of the movie, hope to watch 2nd part of the movie, if would be made with much more facilities with automation.If I would be making 2nd part, would show how he manages to survive up to 90 years if you think of him by going into hibernation mode then it's not very smooth but I think of him leaving this space ship after movie showing all facilities which I've dreamed of & find a loop outside in space or at some other planet, where with others' help reach to future with some short of time-machine.In 3rd part, I would describe with how they both will meet after 120 years, still young with how they play their part to make new planet more beautiful or like a wonderland with all of their creative nature. In that planet they won't need to do any work to survive, they would do things what they like the most without any burden of earning or any other restriction on resources available to them as I would show it having them abundant resources available at their disposal.They'll have to make every effort just to have more & more of whatever they want and be able achieve it at the end of the movie.

It is a very enjoyable movie for its visuals, designs, and the reasonable plot to present it for audience as a not a usual but yet sweet romantic movie in an unusual setting.. If you look at it with expectation of believable reason why such a situation started and how it got continued then you will absolutely will get frustrated (there are few reasons presented in this movie for why the situation exist and continued). There are few "adventures" scenes with nice visuals that can make this romantic movie little exciting... it is a romantic movie where couples can enjoy. This movie presented an unusual situation, we set back and see what the characters do in that situation. There is no need to look at different ways to approach the situation and also no need to explore the reasons of such situation exist.. that is all.

This is a brilliant, understated, ensemble piece about two people thrust together in an almost unimaginabley lonely environment. Their acting is simple but just enough to portray real emotions in a hostile and lonely environment. A job well done to them both.
