Passengers Movie Review

Post by foxemily1245 »

The last movie I saw was Passengers with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. I thought it was an amazing movie, and loved the romance combined with the action! The ending was also one of the best movie endings in my opinion, but I won't spoil it for those of you who haven't seen it. I would give it a 9/10.
Have you guys seen Passengers yet? if so, tell me what you thought!
If not, give us your favorite movie and why!

I saw Passengers as well and thought it was good, and had an interesting concept. However, I didn't really buy into Pratt and Lawrence's romance, it didn't seem very real to me. I believe this is partly because I have seen interviews and such of both actors respectively and can't see them in such a serious way. Overall it was a cool movie and i'd recommend seeing it at least one.

My friend and I went to see Passengers for her birthday, and we both agree that it was pretty slow to start off and took a long time getting to the action. It was enjoyable, but I kept expecting something more thrilling to happen and it didn't. I was also slightly disappointed with Lawrence Fishburne's role, but overall I enjoyed the movie.

I really enjoyed Passengers, actually. I felt the movie was a bit slow in the pacing, but I really enjoyed the romance, and the characters themselves. Chris Pratt did an amazing job acting out some of those emotions and turmoil his character was facing. I love Jennifer Lawrence too, but I think he took the cake with this one. I don't think it should have gotten as much negative reviews as it seemed to have. Aside from my friend who I saw the movie with, everyone who I knew or heard that saw it spoke negatively about it. I really don't see why it got such rotten reviews.

I really liked Passengers. I felt a great deal of pity for Chris Pratt's character and I could empathize with both the characters feeling during the movie. I'm happy with the way they had to work together to save themselves and the rest of the crew. I'm glad that the movie had the ending that it did. I may have changed a few details but I was certainly satisfied.

Well I really enjoyed Passengers but i wished they found a way to get back into their pods after saving the crew.Anyways the movie still must have been an achievement for the producers.

Passengers was nice especially because the ending wasn't really what anyone expected... It was cliché in a good way.

I watched it twice and loved it, despite not really being a Jennifer Lawrence fan. It started a bit slow (not that I was expecting it to be different when the movie is about two people on a spaceship) but the ending paid off!
