  • Starring: Anne Hathaway, David Morse, Patrick Wilson
  • Summary: After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire, is assigned by her mentor to counsel the flight's five survivors. When they share their recollections of the incident -- which some say include an explosion that the airline claims never happened -- Claire is intrigued by Eric, the most secretive of the passengers. Just as Claire's professional relationship with Eric -- despite her better judgment -- blossoms into a romance, the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, one by one. Claire suspects that Eric may hold all the answers and becomes determined to uncover the truth, no matter the consequences. (Sony Pictures) Expand

    With these actors and Rodrigo García's sensitive direction, Passengers might have fared well as a short. But as a full-length feature, it's a long ride to a familiar destination.

    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. Only this time, the big reveal doesn't so much twist the plot as snap its neck.

    A kind of declawed, inside-out "Final Destination" -- with none of the sense of showmanship, and all the looming malice of a mawkish condolence card.

  1. great movie, touch to the heart. Unthinkable end. I cried in 2008 when i saw it the first time, i cried again in 2013. There is nothing morereal in life more than death I Apreciated the movie secuence and the great end., I do not know why people rated low this movie, for me this movie was phenomenal. I imagine people are getting less sensitive in this century or people are forgetting to life free of materialism, violence and hatret. This movie is the oposite; true and pure love, respect to those gone and a good reason to clearly understand life. Expand

    I loved this movie! I was unsure when I saw it on Netflix because I had never heard of it...but it far exceeded my expectations. I think it was really well done and I think the Critics are being WAY too critical! Lighten up! Expand

    With fine performances by two of our best young actors and three always reliable veterans, "Passengers" is worth a look.

    Unoriginal, pointless, and slow, this movie is merely the spawn of other movies. If you've been a movie-watcher for, oh, the last fifteen years, this movie will be nothing new to you! Expand
