Really Surprised!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Horrible dialogue; horrible characters, except for Anne Hathaway.

I just caught this on a premium TV channel and I had never heard of it. I would have paid money to see it in a theater if I had. I thought it was interesting in a "Sixth Sense" kind of way and well acted. Anne Hathaway and Patrick Wilson had excellent chemistry. I don't want to give anything away but it was the story of a plane crash and some of the people on board. The story was well told and kept you wondering till the end. It was sad but it ended well. I enjoyed this movie very much! Too bad it didn't get wider distribution.

This was an okay movie, with a good cast and decent performances altogether saved by the twist ending. The story idea isn't completely original, -but I can't really say where I've seen it before without giving away the twist-.Its kind of mystery/suspense/romance, following Anne Hathaway as a grief counsellor who deals with plane crash survivors. She finds herself getting deeply involved when her patients start disappearing one by one. Nice charisma between the leads Hathaway and Patrick Wilson, I also enjoyed David Morse and Andre Braugher.What I like about movies with these kinds of twists is that it makes you go back and re-examine the entire film, and the parts that either didn't make sense or were strange are suddenly a bit brilliant. I actually didn't see this one coming until the train sequence although I had had my share of WTH questions up until that point. Worth a watch.Filmed in Vancouver with shots of (Rogers sugar refinery) as somewhere dark and gloomy USA. 9/10/16

Passengers is a mix of the thriller and suspense genres, with a little romance and mystery added in for good measure. If that all sounds like a lot to fit into 93 minutes...well it is. Anne Hathaway stars as Claire, a psychiatrist who is assigned to assist a few survivors of a horrible plane crash. As she gets to know the survivors, she becomes more deeply involved in a seeming conflict between the survivors and the airline that appears to be trying to hide something. She grows especially close to Eric, a man that Claire is strangely attracted to, despite his rather odd behavior.The story is pretty interesting, and leads you down a few different paths before you get to the ending. It's all pretty well done, and as long as you don't dwell on a few plot holes, you may be pleasantly surprised with how it all ends. The main problem with this is that the movie length is simply too short to make the frequent transitions in style seem fluid. The ending comes completely out of the blue, unless you have been paying incredibly close attention. I think the creators of Passengers had a good idea, but I would have liked to see it executed a bit better. Passengers is original and unpredictable, but that's not enough to lift it from okay to great.
