Review of Passengers

Passengers (2008)
7/10
Engaging.....but
11 October 2010
Though this film rambles a bit, I did find myself falling for the mystery that underlies it. Suffice it to say, we are pulled into this strange film and are made to choose sides in what seems like a basic airline conspiracy film. Anne Hathaway's young woman seems ill cut out for her job. If I were one of her clients, I would quickly lose confidence. Nevertheless, if we accept her for what she does, it doesn't take long to fall headlong into the series of events. She has been given the job of counseling a small group of survivors of a plane crash. In the process, she becomes intimately involved with a man who seems, for the most part, to take his survival as a rebirth. She struggles with her professional ethics, but gets closer and closer. I can't say I disliked the conclusion to the film and I won't spoil it for anyone, but there are a lot of questions one could ask about how all this came together.
