"Passengers" Movie Review

Another good film from 2016 albeit one that is getting mixed reviews is "Passengers." I will agree that it is not a fantastic film but it is most certainly entertaining and honestly isn't that really what a movie is supposed to do? 

Chris Pratt expands his resume with another good role and he plays the hero very well in this film. Jennifer Lawrence - what can I say except that I do not think she has been in a bad film yet...well, she has not given a bad performance might be the better thing to say. She also does a great job and the chemistry between her and Chris Pratt is believable. 

As for the story and plot of the film, it was actually pretty good. I liked the concept and what happened from a storyline perspective. If I had to find fault with anything it would be that the film does start off a little slow and takes awhile to pick up steam. But once it does, the action is good. 

The other issue I have is the small parts that some of the other actors such as Andy Garcia and Lawrence Fishburne (an excellent actor) have but then again it is what had to be based on the film's story. Overall a good film to watch over the holidays.
