Sometimes movies' descriptions are hugely inaccurate. For example, it is impossible to call Passengers a horror movie and it's more like romantic than of fantasy genre. As it had sometimes looked like a bleach and unintriguing typical thriller, this movie has a slightly deeper idea what is a little bit exciting.
As I have mentioned, at first the creators of Passengers try to convince us that it's a plain thriller. We get a twisted plot, multicontroversial scenes and it is not always realistic. One of the scenes I disliked most in this movie was when Toni showed up behind Perry after Claire had left the room. So, practically all the time as the movie went on I thought that it's a rather dull film.
Anyway, after the ending I understood that there is a very nice thought below some of the crappy scenes and unrealistic plot twist. It's a movie about accepting a fact of death and there may be even a slight critique of the so-called therapeuts who sometimes need more help than their patients themseleves.
Of course, I am not a big fan of romance, so the hurtling development of relationship between Claire and Eric irritated me, however, those might be the elements that people who adore sweet and sour love stories will be satisfied by this movie. Yes, it is not a choice for those who are seeking horror (as there are no creepy moments), but it's a fair romantic drama with some fantastic elements which will not fade after switching the TV off.
