Like others, I liked the low-key acting of Hathaway, and her being drawn out by the crazed reactions to the "near-death" experience of Patrick Wilson. But unlike the "Sixth Sense," where the staff was meticulous to ensure that the entire movie was consistent with the ending twist, "Passengers" has too much manipulation of the physical world by the passengers that doesn't make sense, since these people are earth-bound spirits. How could Eric take a ride on a real motorcycle? How could he take charge of a physical boat? How could Claire pick real flowers to leave at her sister's? How could Arkin leave behind a real passenger manifest for Claire to discover the truth? And even if these wraiths *could* use some sort of telekinesis, wouldn't that freak out the living, whom we never see interact with the passengers? And why would Claire fail to remember the two most influential figures from her past? This is a watchable movie (I like both leads, Braugher and Wiest), but there are too many internal inconsistencies to merit a higher rating.
