Critics Consensus

Passengers proves Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence work well together -- and that even their chemistry isn't enough to overcome a fatally flawed story.

Passengers takes what could have been an interesting debate about consent and glosses it over with cheesy romance and problematic sex.

The film's greatest sin is its intrinsic dullness.

The production design here is spectacular and utopian - a delirious idea of a future that's perfectable, a world without blemish.

5/10

Its science-fiction premise about lovers in space starts with promising questions, but soon approaches a horizon that lacks depth and is lost, from the beginning, in a black hole of clichés. [Full review in Spanish]

Passengers has a lot going for it, but the entire treatment feels mishandled, misguided, and a missed opportunity.

Great watch! I wanted more. Wanted to see more of their life together on the ship after she decided to stay.

Passengers starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence is an average film that never fully rises above its own potential. It has moments that work on a basic level, but a lot of it feels slow, drawn out, and emotionally flat, leaving long stretches that lack real impact or urgency. The concept itself is strong, following two passengers stranded on a long space voyage as isolation and circumstance force them into difficult decisions, but the execution never fully leans into the deeper moral or emotional tension that could have made it more compelling. Instead, the story stays in a safe, predictable lane and moves from point to point without much weight behind it. Even on rewatch, it remains forgettable, offering little new appreciation over time. The film had opportunities to explore its premise in a more intense or meaningful way, but ultimately settles for being just serviceable rather than memorable or truly engaging overall.

A solid flick. I enjoyed it and have seen it a couple times. It presents a very interesting moral problem and explores it pretty well.
