Passengers
A spacecraft traveling to a distant colony planet and transporting thousands of people has a malfunction in its sleep chambers. As a result, two passengers are awakened 90 years early.
Critics Sentiment
The spectacular zero gravity swimming pool sequence occurs during their romance
Aurora berates and physically attacks Jim after learning the truth
The film's biggest drop occurs when Arthur reveals Jim's deception, causing sentiment to plummet from the romantic high of their relationship to Aurora's devastating betrayal and rage.
Passengers follows a clear emotional arc from visual spectacle through romantic build-up to moral crisis and eventual redemption. The film peaks during the romantic sequences, particularly the zero gravity pool scene, but crashes when the central deception is revealed. While the ending provides some resolution through heroic action, reviewers remained divided on whether the moral issues were adequately addressed.
