Science Fiction shows so much advancement in technology and life in outer space. It gives us situations and events that make us believe that it is real and possible especially when romance is incorporated with it. From Armageddon, to Gravity, to this movie, it has brought the principle of scientific movies to another level.
The five most important characters, or should
I say the only characters in the movie are Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence), Jim
Preston (Chris Pratt), Arthur (Michael Sheen), Gus Mancuso (Laurence
Fishburne), and Captain Norris (Andy Garcia).
The story is about two passengers
(Aurora Lane and Jim Preston) that woke up 80 years earlier than the expected
date of their revival. They are in a ship headed to a new planet named
Homestead II and they need each other to survive, to save the ship and the
people aboard in it.
The people who would like this
movie are the ones who love romantic movies and science fiction movies. This movie
shows progressions of technology and its capability. Mixed with the story of
the two characters, Aurora and Jim, the movie was becoming a romantic movie.
Probably some movie goers would be questioning the movie on why he did this or
why she did that, but if the movie goer was in love with romantic movies, I
believe they would understand.
I liked the movie, but I didn’t
love it. It was quite unexpected for me really, the whole plot. Some parts were
boring and it really took some time before the movie got interesting. I liked
the cinematography and the characters, but I guess they lacked dialogues and other
events that would help make the movie more appealing. The climax was okay and
it was the only time that I became more drawn into watching the movie because I
was eager to know what would happen next. I would rate it a 7 out of 10.
First thing that really bothered
me was, when Jim deliberately ruined the hibernation pod of Aurora. He did that
because he loved her, but it was terribly unfair for her. She was someone who
deserved so much more. She was witty, courageous and she still has her ambition
of finishing her book and publishing it. It didn’t come true because they both
died. After the climax, as the movie was calming down earing to its end, there
was a solution to the problem that Jim caused. The pod in the infirmary could
be set into a hibernation pod and Aurora could still go to Homestead II, but
she no longer did because she knew Jim needed her and she has already loved him
despite the betrayal that he did to her. Another thing to spoil is that an
asteroid hit the spaceship and got inside the ship that is why there were
malfunctions like what happened to Jim’s hibernation pod. It got broken that’s
why he woke up and he didn’t survive a year so when he saw Aurora in her pod,
he decided to make her his company. In the end, they helped each other fix the
ship, because if they didn’t, the whole ship’s system will die and all the
passengers will die with it.
This movie showed how powerful
love is. It can turn someone’s plans into ashes. It teaches them to live with
the present and just cherish it, especially when you’re with the person you
love. Sacrifice is also showed in the movie where you fight for love and you
will do anything to save the person you love most; selfless and brave to face
whatever challenge they encounter even if it means that it would risk the
person’s life.
After recalling and critiquing
the movie “Passengers”, my review would be entitled, “To see is to believe” and
the pun for it would be, love at first flight.
