Passengers

Je n’aime pas beaucoup les films qui s’articulent autour d’un ou deux personnages et qui se déroulent en sus dans l’espace ou sur une île déserte, à l’exception de films intelligents du type Moon. Passengers aurait pu rejoindre ces exceptions, mais alors juste pour la première moitié dans laquelle tout avance vite et ne laisse pas de place à l'ennui. Malheureusement, le dernier tiers est trop américain et j’aurais souhaité une idée plus grandiose, un message fort, un retournement. (30/01/2017)

Belle "romance de science-fiction captivante", pour laquelle l'accord des costumes avec la couleur des yeux des deux protagonistes est le plus important. Les décors et les jouets visuels font référence à tout, de 2001 (intérieurs du vaisseau spatial) à Gravity (vol en dehors du vaisseau), ajoutant également une bonne idée avec la piscine sans gravité. Agréable à regarder pour les fans de Hunger Games. La profondeur du scénario avec un énorme potentiel exploité à 30%. J'aimerais tellement le voir réalisé par Inárritua ou le jeune Ridley...

A hi-tech technological treat in the thrall of routine, passionless melodrama, in which the filmmakers figured that if they couldn't pull off the philosophy or the careful mating call, a bit of spectacular fire at the end would save them. The opening twenty minutes are from another world and the finale from a well-known universe where hysterical laughter can be heard. (02/10/2017)

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are showing prime acting talent in this movie. On the other hand, there are also Laurence Fishbourne and Michael Sheen who could strike your fancy. It’s basically a pretty intimate sci-fi that’s enticing exactly because of this intimacy. Personally, I was very pleased. Technically precise, brilliant as far as the actors go. The question is: what about the director’s take on this? I hear that that the ending wasn’t for everyone, but I liked it. As for me, I was satisfied and happy for each and every new sci-fi that catches the general public’s interest. Especially when it’s as high-quality as this one. (26/09/2017)

Two acting superstars fly through space, have adventures and find their way to each other despite a repulsive lie. And that's it. Passengers gives a lot of space to Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence, and both use it to no end, but unfortunately they rely more for charisma than interesting characters. The chemistry between the characters and the love line is the most interesting thing about their story, but the problem is that it takes up about a third of the film and without it Passengers runs out of breath. And the finale itself is downright bad. Pratt and Lawrence, however, try to push it forward at all times. What's next? Nice production design, good visual effects and some pretty thrilling scenes. So all in all, a pretty solid film, but I would have expected more from two of the most popular acting faces of our time. (15/05/2017)
