The past pretending to be the future

Passengers (2016)

Directed by Morten Tyldum this film stars Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen and Laurence Fishburne. A passenger travelling in deep sleep on an interstellar flight finds himself accidentally woken up 90 years too soon with no way to go back to sleep.

Despite being dressed up in the clothes of the future this is a regressive romance that is frankly just a big disappointment. There is nothing interesting to see here either about romance or the future. Michael Sheen does his best and stands out as an android but otherwise this is a weak film that is manipulative on more than one level.


2/5
