    Intelligent supernatural drama.

    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.

    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.

    Cruising somewhere between therapy drama and paranoid thriller, 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.

    The film is a misfire, which you feel more acutely given the talents of those involved, including director Rodrigo Garcia ("Nine Lives," "Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her") and rising star Anne Hathaway.

    A clunky, dead-on-arrival scary drama that proves that even people with good taste need a good script or direction.

    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.

    A supernatural thriller so mechanically inept and lacking in suspense that it doesn't even pass muster as lowbrow Halloween-ready entertainment.

    I am a huge Anne Hathaway fan but I have to say that this is probably one of her worse movies. It's not bad through any fault of her own, the acting by everybody in the movie is solid. This is just horrible writing. It's incredibly predictable. My wife actually guessed this within the first ten minutes. I enjoyed watching the ending but the journey to get there was just not worth it. Also, Anne Hathaway's character is supposed to by a therapist which makes 90% of this movie frustrating in how un-professional she is. Overall I was very disappointed and wont be watching it again. If you catch it on TV you might enjoy it otherwise it's not really worth watching.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I found this film endearing, tender, and a beautiful love story. Magnificent actors and sensitive direction. Watch it. If you only like action films with violence, sex and special effects, forget it. First you will have to wake up.… Full Review »

    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!… Full Review »
