Passengers (I) (2016)
5/10
Gets worse as it continues

I really liked the first half hour of the movie, might have rated it 8/10 at that point. But the quality rapidly drops as it turns into a predictable soap opera. They movie could have been much better and deserved a different ending. What were the filmakers thinking when they decided to add the "oh no he is dead" *presses a few buttons* "yay he is still alive" scene?? And really, why let the other guy wake up just so that these two can access a few new areas and then let him die of disease instantly? Such lazy writing. The entire "repairing the ship" ending is confusing, illogical and overly dramatic. IMO the movie should have gone a more unpredictable route: For instance, when she finds out that he woke her up and is about to murder him, she really should have done it! And then maybe let other people wake up of failing pods and have them discover his dead body. Could have been a nice thriller but became a boring soap opera, 5/10.
