Passenger movie sequel9/14/2023 ![]() ![]() It would’ve worked far better if Jim went completely crazy and locked Aurora up only to start waking other women and repeating the things he did with Aurora. I wouldn’t have minded Jim waking up Aurora if the plot didn’t paint it as love. Did no one at the studio think that the love story they were trying to tell was dangerously close to Stockholm Syndrome? I really don’t understand how such a $120 million-budget movie got made. However, in Passengers her character is nothing more than an object for Jim to obsess over. Jennifer Lawrence is a very good actress. What’s worse is that after Aurora gets to know that Jim had forced her awake, we get a redemption arc where Jim tries to make up for his mistake and Aurora starts to love him back. He had forced his own feelings on a woman and had pulled her away from the life she could’ve had. Seeing Jim and Aurora being romantic with each other felt creepy because I, as a viewer, knew what Jim had done. So, Jim forced Aurora out of hibernation and then proceeded to tell her that it was due to a malfunction just so he could go out on dates, sleep with her, etc. But what can Jim do? He loves her and doesn’t want to be alone. He knows that waking Aurora up would mean that she won’t be able to reach her intended destination. We also get moments where he tries to battle with his morality. Jim goes through her files and videos and decides that he’s in love with her. What follows are scenes where we see Jim obsessing over a hibernating Aurora (Jennifer Lawrence). ![]() While Jim has the whole spaceship to himself, he knows that he won’t be able to stay alive long enough for the ship to reach its destination. He is part of a 120-year voyage, consisting of 5,259 people, to a faraway colony planet. And that’s exactly what the film showed me, except for the fact that the actual plot would’ve worked better as an actual horror story.ĭue to a ship malfunction, Jim (Chris Pratt) wakes up from hibernation 90 years before everyone else. So, I decided to watch it.įor me, the trailers made the film look like a love story between two people as they tried to prevent a spaceship from blowing up. Chris Pratt always looks fine onscreen and Jennifer Lawrence guarantees impressive acting skills. It already had a creepy vibe, showing two people alone in a huge spaceship. The trailers for Passengers had me intrigued. Warning: This review contains some spoilers for Passengers. However, I was not ready for the creepy movie that consumed nearly two hours of my life. I thought I would enjoy the sci-fi love story. I watched Passengers because I had nothing else better to do. ![]()
