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. Written by Anonymous
I haven't reviewed a movie for a long time...there are just so many movies that don't warrant it.
On a quiet, rainy, lonely Saturday afternoon, I felt frustrated to see that there was NOTHING on cable to watch that I wanted to watch, and if I liked the movies, I had already seen them. I kept looking on Movies on Demand.
Then I sat down to watch Passengers...not really knowing anything about it. I forgot how wonderful it used to be just to pick a movie when I was growing up and just go see it...with no preconceptions. Most of the time, I would really enjoy myself. Discovering one more way of looking at life.
I was mainly attracted to the movie because I like Anne Hathaway's acting.
What I didn't know was that I was about to embark on such an interesting journey that was so hard to describe.
The premise is so simple. But as I have realized...there are no new ideas under the sun. It is in THE TELLING that we are enriched.
The director, RODRIGO GARCIA, has created a near-masterpiece. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable...that is as much a product of the director as it is for the actors.
Let's not forget Edward Shearmur's engaging score, Igor Jadue-Lillo's beautiful cinematography, Thom Noble's fine editing and last but not least Ronnie Christiensen's wonderful script.
The ending came to me as a shock similar to the end of Sophie's Choice...and then the well of tears came forth as an unexplainable phenomena of the human soul.
Really, it was such a perfect movie.
Kudos all around.
