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.

Intelligent supernatural drama. Read full review

Adam Markovitz

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. Read full review

Justin Chang

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. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

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. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

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

Stephen Holden

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

Nick Pinkerton

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. Read full review

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!

Watched this on Netflix. Surprise ending.....very enthralled all the way through. I really enjoyed this movie which I didn't realize was made years ago. Its a film you can enjoy without having to really think too hard. I loved it!

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

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

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.

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.… Expand

Tired and familiar, disappointing considering some of the talent involved. Too slow moving and it only scratches the surface of the story, sloppily put together.

Un film qui ne sait pas sur quel pied danser, celui de la comédie qui ne vaut pas un rond ou celui du... psychodrame à deux centimes de dollar ? par contre, il met les deux pieds en plein dans le plat de l'ennui très plat, raplaplat et ramolli, l'ennui particulièrement abrutissant, bête etUn film qui ne sait pas sur quel pied danser, celui de la comédie qui ne vaut pas un rond ou celui du... psychodrame à deux centimes de dollar ? par contre, il met les deux pieds en plein dans le plat de l'ennui très plat, raplaplat et ramolli, l'ennui particulièrement abrutissant, bête et soporifique...

Car le film est finalement plus bête qu'autre chose, c'est tout ce qu'on en retiendra avec Anne Hathaway l'actrice aux yeux de poisson qui a l'air d'un thon et qui joue comme un cageot de fin de marché. Même l'estimé Patrick Wilson a l'air paumé ici de toute façon, dans cet ersatz de film... 100¨% pourri, tout à jeter... pas recyclable !… Expand
