Movie Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes®
It is dark, depressing and seems to be built entirely around a twist ending that feels less like a surprise and more like relief.
Full Review|Nov 10, 2008
Passengers is a supernatural thriller so mechanically inept and lacking in suspense that it doesn't even pass muster as lowbrow Halloween-ready entertainment.
Oct 30, 2008The actors make a noble effort, but Passengers 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.
Full Review|Oct 29, 2008This 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.
Full Review|Oct 24, 2008It's a blurred pass at suspense and hesitant smooches, but with Hathaway and Wilson around to carry most of the workload, at least it's well acted.
Full Review|May 14, 2009An uneven and lifeless film that shifts from saccharine romance to supernatural thriller as Anne Hathaway helps a handful of survivors of a plane crash deal with the strange effects of their trauma.
Full Review|Mar 21, 2009Este primeiro grande tropeco na carreira de Garcia embaraca pelo roteiro batido e pela falta de ritmo da narrativa, nao sendo salvo nem mesmo pelo charme de Hathaway.
Jan 28, 2009When a picture asks you to puzzle through a chain of ambiguous clues to a surprise solution, you have a right to expect something better than watered-down Shyamalan.
Full Review|Nov 2, 2008She sees dead people, maybe. Stealth movie starring Anne Hathaway as the world's worst trauma counselor slipped into a few theatres without warning. Now you've been warned.
Full Review|Oct 27, 2008With a storytelling sensibility more common in foreign films than mainstream ones, Passengers is a compact, thought-provoking tale that challenges the viewer while shedding light on one's own life, and how he or she has chosen to lead it.
Full Review|Oct 24, 2008Even though Anne Hathaway is good, it's no reason to get really emotionally invested in her quest
Full Review|Nov 10, 2008The surprise ending isn't as shocking as those of Jacob's Ladder or The Sixth Sense -- two stellar examples of the genre -- but it's still dramatically potent.
Full Review|Oct 30, 2008The biggest shock (aside from seeing how arbitrarily movies are chosen for theatrical release) is provided by an intrusively blown newspaper.
Full Review|Oct 29, 2008spends too much time concealing its secret to fully realize its potential as a human drama.
Full Review|Aug 3, 2009Filmmakers have the power to change reality on us at their whim, but if they do so in ways that make us feel tricked and cheated, then this is an unforgiveable rip-off.
Full Review|May 6, 2009spatala to hrono soy pio sadistika ap' oti ta talenta ton ithopoion tis, ontas ekneyristika monotoni kai erasitehnika kryptiki horis na ehei tipote na krypsei poy na min eheis ksanadei
Full Review|Jan 20, 2009Passengers is not a film I would recommend that you rush right out to see. However, it will make a good rental on a snowy night this winter
Oct 28, 2008In addition to aspiring to be a sensitive portrait of emotional healing, it's also a supernatural mystery, a romantic comedy, a family weepy and a corporate conspiracy drama. One plot might have satisfied audiences; fractions won't.
Full Review|Oct 27, 2008Anyone who doesn't see the film's "twist" ending coming from miles away just hasn't seen enough thrillers.
Full Review|Oct 24, 2008Did Hathaway know when she signed to this that it would be released just in time to embarrass her during her accolades for Rachel Getting Married?
Full Review|Oct 30, 2008The film is a little too influenced by M. Night Shyamalan, which might be the wrong way to go given the reaction to his recent films.
Oct 27, 2008Initial intrigue turns into tedium and frustration as the plot heads into the territory of absurd.
Full Review|Aug 1, 2009Surreal ensemble chemistry that rarely subsides, serving up a deliriously potent supernatural plane crash yarn that should sufficiently frazzle viewer nerves on impact.
Full Review|May 2, 2009The plane isn't the only thing that crashes in this ambitiously conceived mystery drama with conspiracy theories, central romance & supernatural elements. You know there is something seriously wrong when the resolution is more satisfying than the journey.
Full Review|Feb 20, 2009...the least effective entry within Rodrigo Garcia's otherwise impeccable filmography...
Full Review|Dec 15, 2008Passengers is a haunting little movie that builds ever so slowly to an electrifying climax.
