Passengers

Passengers

Anyone want to live on another habitable planet? If so, how would you, along with 4,999 other passengers, like to take a 120 year hibernation journey to your newly founded habitable planet called Homestead II? Plot twist, you wake up 90 years early. What are you going to do now?

Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games, 2012-2015, Joy, 2016) and Chris Pratt (Jurassic World, 2015, The Magnificent Seven, 2016) star in this intriguing new sci-fi film.
Passengers starts with Jim Preston (Pratt), a mechanical engineer, who was awakened 90 years too early due to a strain on the Avalon’s shield when passing through an asteroid field. When he woke, he noticed that he was alone, no other person on the ship was awake. He checked all the other hibernation pods and his was the only one that had malfunctioned. A year in isolation was devastating for Jim, so he contemplates suicide. One day while he was wandering, he noticed a beautiful woman (Lawrence) in her hibernation pod. Her name is Aurora Lane, a writer with an intriguing personality. Jim fights against his morals to wake her up for company or leave her be so she will make it to Homestead ll. He decides to wake her up and he tells her that she was awoken from a pod malfunction. They maneuver the ship for another year before he tells her about how he manually woke her up. Later, there are a couple pod malfunctions, causing some to wake up from early hibernation.
That is where you will have to watch the movie to understand what happened. This is Pratt and Lawrence’s first major picture together and they play a stunning performance of these two characters. The intensity of this movie makes you wonder what it would be like if NASA finally discovers a habitable planet that we would be able to travel to. Passengers ranked #3 in the box office, making it a high grossing movie, coming right behind Disney’s new releases Moana and Rouge One: A Star Wars Story.
Passengers teaches you many lessons, but the one that fits this movie, “the drowning man will always will always try to take someone down with him.”
