Passengers is a sweeping romance about true star-crossed lovers, offering adults a different kind of space opera.
But does it fly well?
Passengersas a whole has a lot propelling it upward.
And this is in large part powered by the best performance Chris Pratt has given to date.
Consequently, he goes over a year without speaking to another human being.
The results are far more commercial andRomanticwith a capital R, but also feel like an emotional shortcut.
There might be proclamations of love, but audiences will probably remain a little more weary.
