Passengers

Rating: 6.8/10

Genre: Thriller

Overall value for money and time: 6.4/10

The only thing that saved this movie from being a disappointment was the ending. It had a poor build up and lots of loose ends when the credits rolled. This movie was not able to captivate the audience or engage them into the role of the protagonist. However, the plot was there. The idea was there, just bad execution. There were 2 particular characters in the movie who were way too weird without accounting for, Anne Hathaway's neighbour and her male "patient". The storyline isn't novel, there have been similar movies made, that of which I will mention only at the end of this review to keep the suspense alive (since that's the only selling factor of this movie). The movie is about a counselor trying to help the survivors of a plane crash when she finds herself being in the middle of a "cover-up". Though it seems that I've been slamming the movie from the start, the unreasonably high rating is mainly due to my personal expectation of what separates a film from being just a mediocre movie - plot. Therefore, I believe most of you will not like this movie since it lacks almost everything else. To sum it up, *spoilers ahead* this movie is like a cheap production which lacks the elegance of a mix of "Mulholland Drive" and "The Others", + a little hint of "Sixth Sense" in it.
