March 21, 2010I was not sure what i was watching early in this movie. A conspiracy movie or some thriller or what not . .then in came together in the last 40 minutes. Very much like the Others. A good movie but not great.

November 3, 2011This movie was an okay movie, good cast and well acted, however it is rather slow and what saves this movie in order for me to say its a good movie is the ending! its a nice twist and quite a surprise so may be worth the watch!

October 24, 2010So Bradley Cooper - I mean Patrick Wilson - is in everything. There's nothing wrong with any of the performances, including Wilson and Hathaway's. Morse is always great, the gentle, soulful giant that he is. But I have to agree with some of the critics who remark that the film... read more

October 17, 2010The real excitement starts when Eric (Pathirck Wilson) stands on the rail line. So that's pretty slow I guess. Half of the movie was okay. Will make you feel boring at some points (no wonder it got such a low ratings). The story was good (though it rings bell of similarity). Nice... read more

July 28, 2010It's sad, for a good while this movie is actually very interesting and perfectly likable. However, about half way through until the end it's a complete mess and ridiculous. It was a little bit like the Sixth Sense and The Others, only it made no sense and it seemed like the twist... read more

April 9, 2010I am not at all convinced this movie actually makes sense. First half, though not actually bad, is pretty slow and dull. The twist at the end picks it up, but I am sure there are some pretty serious logic flaws in it. I could have forgiven the general dullness of this film had... read more

January 31, 2010The ending was written in plain sight about 1/4 of the way into the movie, but it was still worth the ride. Anne Hathaway seems to pull it off remarkably.

After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire (Anne Hathaway), is assigned by her mentor (Andre Braugher) to counsel the flight's five survivors. When they share their recollections of the in... read more -
June 28, 2009This is a decent dramatic, not "thriller" as well as it is quite strange and mystery to find out about five survivors were plucked from a horrific plane crash.
I liked Hathaway in this role. I wouldn't normally have thought of her as playing the part of a professional woman with ... read more

Even though Anne Hathaway is good, it's no reason to get really emotionally invested in her quest Full Review

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Did Hathaway know when she signed to this that it would be released just in time to embarrass her during her accolades for Rachel Getting Married? Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Passengers is a supernatural thriller so mechanically inept and lacking in suspense that it doesn't even pass muster as lowbrow Halloween-ready entertainment.

Joshua Katzman, Chicago Reader
The surprise ending isn't as shocking as those of Jacob's Ladder or The Sixth Sense -- two stellar examples of the genre -- but it's still dramatically potent. Full Review

It's a long ride to a familiar destination. Full Review

The actors make a noble effort, but Passengers turns out to be just another dud in the genre of revisionist mysteries that have been messing with our heads since Haley Joel Osment saw dead people. Full Review

Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
The biggest shock (aside from seeing how arbitrarily movies are chosen for theatrical release) is provided by an intrusively blown newspaper. Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
The film is a little too influenced by M. Night Shyamalan, which might be the wrong way to go given the reaction to his recent films.

Justin Chang, Variety
This middlebrow tone poem aims for ambiguity but often veers into soporific, suspending answers (and often, viewer interest) en route to an ending that explains all. Full Review
