Ok, and the original ending was even worse. All of the other passengers get ejected. And then the movie cuts 90 years or so into the future when the ship is landing and a whole ton of people get out. That means that these are the descendants of those two who had sex with their own siblings and children and our horrifically inbred. It actually turns out you need 80 to 160 people of wildly different ethnic backgrounds in order to have a genetically stable colony. All of those people are so doomed.

@@mathewaquino6304 Minimum of 80? Reminds me of that Star Trek DS9 Episode where a civilisation was sprung up from the crew of the Defiant trapped on a planet. It was about 50 people. Well, I guess some aliens make the genes more diverse? Anyway, the civilisation was erased from existence because of time shenanigans where alternate time line Odo saved Kira's live, preventing the Defiant getting trapped on the planet in the first place. Because he loves Kira, but at that point never told her. Is that kinda the opposite story, and still problematic? But it's not shown as the right decision. It's just that it wasn't this time line's Odo that did it, so the audience doesn't need to forgive him. Later Kira and Odo got together. Don't know what that means.

A recurring criticism made when the movie came out was how much better the story would have been if it had been from Jennifer Lawrence POV. It would have play out like a Sci-fi horror/thriller, with Chris Pratt as the villain, and Lawrence character slowly realizing the man she is with, the only other human being alive on the ship, condemned her to a life of loneliness for his own benefice. And it was apparently closer to the original script. From what I recall, the original script ended with Pratt dying and Lawrence, now alone, considering waking up someone else like Pratt did before her.

But it's also referencing the Shining, the famous wife-abuse-in-isolated-place horror movie. What were they going for here?

The movie could’ve asked an interesting question. He’s woken up and goes a bit insane with the isolation. There’s a problem with the ship that requires two people to fix. He thinks. But he has doubts because he wonders if there is another solution he’s subconsciously ignoring because he wants to wake someone up. Particularly since the very person he wants to wake up has the exact skill set to fix the problem. (Obviously she’s not journalist.) Maybe, he thinks, he even caused the problem in order to need her. It’s all about him questioning his own mind, not that he actually did sabotage the spaceship. He wakes her up to fix the ship because the timetable on fixing the problem is running out. Then she starts questioning whether or not he sabotaged the ship and he isn’t sure he’s didn’t! Oh, the tension, the drama, the ambiguity! Can they come to terms with these questions remaining unanswered and can she trust him? Can he trust himself?

The guy you were with probably has the insane fantasy of having a woman trapped with him alone. Someone he can control and use with no repercussions or worry of her leaving. Very disturbing for a guy to want full autonomy control from another person.

A more interesting story that would have made Pratt's character less specifically creepy: instead of *just* waking up Lawrence's character, he wakes up *everybody* on the ship. It becomes a story about a society in isolation, built on rickety legs that Pratt has to hide, with the potential for people to realize a purpose in their grandkids eventually seeing the planet if the hibernation pods don't get fixed. You'd think that a group of the crew would've definitely known how to navigate at least some of the ship's issues; and if not then at least there's a society of people to lessen the loneliness rather than just one trapped person. You get to keep the dubious ethics of ruining people's plans to see this new planet, but at least it's dispersed and not out of some stalkery fantasy. From that point Pratt and Lawrence could still fall in love, but at least there would be other people there and at least upon finding out it might be less unforgivable from Lawrence's perspective. I also just think it speaks to a more human reality: we need a community to be mentally put-together; a lover is not "all we need". Maybe the society would shun Pratt upon finding out what happened, but again - I think it makes a more compelling sociological story and makes Pratt's character less of an "I choose the bear" example.

Though I do agree that having everyone wake up would make for a pretty interesting movie, seeing this massive colony stuck on a ship, trying to find a way to co-exist and return to sleep (because I doubt they’d have enough to feed all passengers and crew members, plus whatever offspring came after, for so long), but if you have Jim waking everybody up then it definitely becomes a “who’s going to kill him first” kind of movie 😂 and honestly, I’d be sat and watching 😂

I watched this movie a few months back and I thought of a better solution within a day than Pratt's character did in a year, which makes the premise stupid. Pratt's pod failed, there are thousands of other pods. He should wake someone up, but who he wakes up should be a doctor, someone who believes in the hippocratic oath who might understand why he woke them up and be able to help figure out how to put Pratt to sleep in their pod, then a month or so later the doctor wakes someone else up, teaches them how to wake up and put someone else back to sleep, then the doctor gets put to sleep and the new person stays awake for a month before waking someone else up, repeat for 90 years. It should probably be mostly doctors or scientists that they wake up, so that it's easier to explain the process, but with thousands of passengers, there should be enough that no one needs to die, they just lose an extra month. Honestly, the crew should have been doing something like that already to avoid the malfunction issues.

Unironically, it would have made a great horror movie/thriller if we'd gotten to follow Jennifer Lawrence's character the whole way, which seems to be the original intention, until some genius studio executive decided that was too sensible... There is a post-apocalyptic movie about a young woman who survives in some remote valley who then gets joined by two men, so that might be worth watching.

I remember ages ago someone online (I forget who or where, but I think it was Tumblr) talking about how this could have been a potentially excellent horror thriller film if the story was told through the woman's POV and we learn about what happened before she woke up at the same time she started figuring things out (instead of knowing everything before she does like in the actual film). That way, the story becomes about the horror of trusting someone and relying on them in a situation, only to realise that you can't trust them at all and you are trapped in said situation with them.

Here is how you fix the movie. Replace Chris Pratt with Joaquin Phoenix and have him play the character meek and nerdy like he was in the movie "Her". Have it so he was browsing a bunch of different people's files out of boredom and loneliness, and when hers comes up he's fascinated by her. He leans forward absent-mindedly and accidentally presses buttons that cause her hibernation pod to turn off. He feels absolutely horrible and is afraid to admit the truth of how she woke up. You can see it eating away at him in every scene as they fall in love. Then instead of her finding out on her own, he stops her from trying to kiss him and shamefully admits the truth himself. Proceed with the rest of the movie.

Weird interior design that ship had; I dunno if I'd reference THAT Kubrick for my space hotel. Anyways those weirdly orthogonal reference points may point to a Tone Problem lol.

this movie reminds me of the love death and robots episode about the evil space spider that traps the MCs spacecraft and tricks him into believing she’s a woman he knows.

YES!!! 🙌🏻 also, what a show!

I’m so glad I found this channel bless

Didn't this movie allegedly break up Chris Pratt and his ex wife? *Grinch smirk*

So funny that they brought a great actor like Laurence Fishburne into this movie just have him do magical exposition and then immidately die.

I respect your opinion and appreciate you sharing this. I can see why it made you think of the man vs. bear thing as well. I think if they hadn't emphasized how messed up it was of CPs character to wake up JLs character, I would've really hated this movie. But they adressed it, and I liked that they revealed it to her character after we realized the severity of it to build up suspense. Of course it has other flaws on top of that - it's not perfect and no story/movie out there is. I see this movie as just another unrealistic "what if" scenario like all most other entertainment media people create and consume. Whether I or someone else likes/dislikes it is personal preference and doesn't bother me either way, and having good or bad things to have these kinds of discussions about and educate each other about what is right or wrong based on a fictional story is good overall in my opinion!

Love you Portuguese Queen!!!!

I just wish they had the balls to go full into making it a psychological horror

Halfway through thr video: why doesn't he waje up someone who has the authority to go to the room with the equipment to repair the pods?

Their pods were also in the room he couldn’t get into. Conveniently 😒😒😒

Am i like the only person that actually kind of liked this movie? Yes it is wrong for him to have woken someone up. It seems easy for everyone to say "i would have just spent the 80+ years on this ship completely by myself", but in reality... no one would really do that. I think most people would have probably tried every other thing possible before waking someone up but like, 80 years or so is a REALLY LONG TIME to be alone. Plus the existential dread of floating through space alone and not having anyone to talk to. Regardless, he gave jennifer lawrence the opportunity to go back into the pod at the end and she chose not to. So she could have absolutely done that, but she chose not to leave him. So they made the best of their situation. But also, when the main crew guy (lawrwnce fishborne) woke up, he should have woken other crew members up that would be able to fix stuff and then maybe they could figure out how to all go back to sleep. I dont know why he didnt do that.

The answer to your question is "so the movie can happen". If it wasn't a movie they'd have crew members taking turns being awake in case something weird happens.

Jennifer Lawrence's character suffered because of his actions, and if they hadn't figured out the medical pod workaround she'd have been doomed to live out her life on the ship and die before it reached its destination. No amount of repentance would make up for that.

@@LukeLovesRose I mean, if the choice is to forgive or live out the next 50 years alone on a spaceship while not talking to the one other human there it's not really a genuinely free choice. I do think none of us actually know which choice we'd actually make if put in that situation, so it's pointless to claim one way or another.

8:07 That was my reaction when he reasoned opening her pod just because he was "so lonely."

This movie is very entertaining all the way up to the point Aurora starts to forgive Jim. They could have had her put aside her hatred to work with him to repair the ship, he could have still figured out how to put her back to sleep in the med pod, and she could have forgiven him some what understanding the loneliness and desperation he felt. But still have gone back to sleep in the med pod. It was so frustrating to me to see her do a 180 out of no where and still be in love with him. That scene where she woke him up to kick his ass, was the most satisfying scene in the movie.

You people are incapable of Christian forgiveness. Turn the other cheek you know??

I haven't watched this film since I was 16 but I was traumatised, I always bring it up to complain about it, haha

"write a book" hey y'all, it's July which means as well as disability pride month, it's a Camp NaNoWriMo, which encourages you to!!! Write!!! A!!! Book!!!! Want to know why you should write a book? The people who love you now one day will not have you, but if you write them a book, even if you don't publish it, they'll always have a piece of your heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears, and if it's autobiographical, they'll always have the stories you told them, the treasures you gave them, but from you're point of view. WRITE A BOOK. WRITE YOUR STORY. ITS WORTH SHARING! Also great video, loved it, excellent video.

I have always thought this movie, imho, is a horror story in disguise.

He should have just kicked her out of her pod and told her to write a book or something and wake someone else up if she gets bored. One or two awake for a bit at a time, no one has to die.

What if, after a year passed and he had given up on finding a way back to cryosleep, Aurora's pod malfunctions like his did and he realizes the rest of the passengers will be doomed if they don't figure out how to fix what went wrong? Heck, he could still be infatuated with Aurora and horrified that she's the one who was also sentenced to death. Maybe he becomes obsessed with finding a way to put her back to sleep and she's the one who sees the bigger implications that they have to figure out what's going wrong with the ship.

I've never seen the movie, so this is great! 🎉 thank you!

I hated Passengers sooooooo much. It feels like it was supposed to be a Horror film, but somewhere in rewrites and studio notes, it got turned into a "Romance," and that made it so, so much worse. Awful. Just awful. I'm a straight dude, and I'd choose the bear.

I haven't seen this movie. Isolation horror is a staple of scifi.. that's kinda what I was expecting from 'Passangers'. Kinda glad I watched this review. Not gonna see it now. Having said that... it is horrifying to be in a situation where you wake up and you're trapped on a space ship. Should Chris Pratt immediately have killed himself? The sleeping beauty angle is creepy af, but I don't know if most humans would choose not to try to wake up at least one of the other passengers. The moral thing to do in any situation is to just die. 😅

as a person who watches a lot of movie reviews and reactions it has irked me for YEARS that more people don't react to or review this movie. wild that this movie was made in a time where we actively talk about consent and what it is. jim was awful and ruined a woman's life because he thought she was pretty 🤮

I’ve never seen this movie, but why does that bartender seem so much like the one in The Shining?

literally how does youtube finally place random good shit on my front page instead of like, horrific true crime or other CRAP. btw, why are there suddenly 15 commentary youtubers with mustaches and long hair???

Half you guys cracked under quarantine in 2020, so whatever, leave your little comments

If he had to wake someone up why wouldn't spend time trying to find someone who could get him access to the repair equipment room?? How on earth is the WHOLE damn crew asleep anyways?? There should be someone awake (in shifts) overseeing the journey. Like in 2001 a space Odyssey. And surely on this ship carrying 5000 people they should've had spare pods in case of emergencies! Ships have lifeboats- even when they're confident they won't sink! Jim fixes this impossibly complex with the ship's main computer, but he can't figure out how to fix his pod/ rig access to some fixing equipment? How could they justify it as 'she's finally satisfied in life' in this situation?? Her future is gone and she has no access to anyone other than Bratt. How isolating! Why would they decide to spam greenery all over the ship? 1- how?? 2- Wouldn't that run the risk of ever damaging something in the ship? Or someone else's pod? I hate this stupid movie

And to think the same person who wrote this also adapted Dune, which came out great, is truly confusing. The movie is a non-stop flow of red flags 😂

I watched it a long time ago. Thought it wasn’t so weird it is weird looking back on it. It is creepy he choose a woman to wake up for a reason he wanted a bit more than just company from loneliness.

There was this video when the movie was released that suggested and did a re edit. The guy basically said the plot would be better as a horror ans done from Jennifer Lawrence character. It would have been way better.

I'm going to throw in my two cents here, nobody will care, but here goes. "Passengers" is more that Old School science fiction, the kind we don't really get much anymore, think the original "Solaris" or "2001 a Space Odissey" or even "Sunshine". It's not really a movie about what it's about, it's partially allegorical, as far as I can read it. The film is basically an Anti-Natalist Parable about Life, a person "Wakes Up" involuntarily (is born), they are alone, Life cannot be alone and will die alone and without any potential for fulfillment because they will not reach a destination, solitude is not the state of the Living, so the only solution to this problem of Life is to "Wake Somebody Else" (birth another person involuntarily for the company of the living; all parenthood is a selfish act, nobody needs to be born, life is in no way essential) however, as all Anti-Natalists understand, to force another Life is to cause them to suffer the pain of living, the line "You Murdered Me!" can be said by any child to any parent, for to live is to be condemned to death, but also to live we need community or we suffer emotionally and become suicidal; as shown in the film. This is reinforced throughout, as the wonderment of being alive is only wonderful with another being to share it with, it's why even at the end the wronged person is begging not to be left alone; the great fear of the living, that empty void that invites Death's whispers; boredom, loneliness, and depression. It's philosophical speculative science fiction, not the greatest by any stretch, but as an Anti-Natalist myself, even if the authors didn't intend it, this is the movie I would use to illiterate the point, inartful perhaps but very simple and effective.

14:54 yes, that would have made this movie 1000x better. Like if the start we can justify his lonliness then we see they are compatible and it’s going great. Then she finds out gets mad and he starts doing more things are are exsclating like the viewers didnt see the signs either like her at first but now they are glaring. A thriller of her getting away from him then also her contemplating waking someone else up to help her or if they will hurt her too or be furious it is ending their lives. Her having to ponder the same thing he did to her. Or just a cool trying to stay away from him and ultimately killing him while not exploding the ship. A thriller would have been so good!!!

Best thing I did was convince myself no matter who an actor plays in movies, we never know what they’re truly like in person (i.e. Frenchie from the Boys, whose character struggles with having made bad choices, and is now part of team trying to save from a fascist movement - played by none other than a very vocal zionist.

Lot of the time "bad acting" more is bad script+ bad directing. Oh😮 it could be "blink twice if the script is in the room with you ".
