Passengers (2016)

Directed by: Morten Tyldum

Written by: Jon Spaihts

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, & Michael Sheen




You guys, this film is amazing!

Jim Preston (Pratt) is woken up 90 years too soon from his hibernation chamber on a ship that is traveling to a new planet to start a second Earth.  But no one else is awake.  For a year, his only companion is Arthur (Sheen), until he makes the most difficult choice of his life.

They say this film is like "Titanic," which it is, but isn't.  The problem is similar, but that's about it.

Anyway, let's get to what makes this film amazing!

1) Jennifer Lawrence's performance:  I was blown away.  There is one particular scene where she is burning with rage and you can feel it transcend through the screen.  I felt angry along with her.  She's nominated right?  She better be.

2) Chris Pratt's performance: True Chris Pratt acting.  Always love it.

3) Michael Sheen's performance: Usually I don't like his acting or maybe it's his characters, but this particular one is great.  It felt so robotic, but real at the same time.  (He's a robot btw.)  Perfect non real companion.

4) Great problem and spaceship: Amazing graphics and the problems that arise in the film are not all necessarily original (i.e. "Titanic"), but the way they are presented is unique.

Awesome film.  5 popcorns.
