"Really?"
Passengers never quite catches fire yet is still a decent movie with a number of strengths. The obvious marquee appeal of pairing Lawrence and Pratt in this long-gestating project is fulfilled on screen, as the charismatic pair manage to wring interest out of some often thin writing and bland dialogue. There is plenty of impressive CG sci-fi eye candy on offer, Michael Sheen is spot-on as the android bartender and Thomas Newman's soft-synth score is pleasant. The last-ditch attempt to generate a bit of real threat does not really amount to much in what is essentially a soft and slightly dull sci-fi love story.
