Passengers




I have been waiting for this movie and tonight was the night. "Passengers" does not disappoint.
In this season of "Star Wars", "Arrival",  and even last years "Ex Machina" this is a sci-fi movie for grown ups.  It is a thought provoking, what -would-you-do type of story.  A Star ship is soaring thru space on a destination that is taking about 5,000 people to a new home on a new earth-like planet, 120 twenty years in space.  A aboard are hibernating even the crew and are due to wake up 4 months before arrival. But three people are awake 88 years too soon.  Why? How will they live? and many other questions.  It is a little "Cast-a-way" meets "Star Trek". That is if the Cast-a-way had anything they wanted except humans.  
This is why we go to the movies. Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Lawrence Fishburn and Michael Sheen are the entire cast.  And a great one.

it is ****stars out of five. 2016 Movie 43
