First, a brief reminder of the film itself. Directed by Morten Tyldum, Passengers tells the story of Jim and Aurora, two colonists aboard a starship bound for a new planet, who are awakened from hibernation 90 years too early. The film was a box office success, grossing over $300 million, but was met with mixed reviews. Critics and audiences grappled with the film’s central, uncomfortable premise (a moral dilemma often described as “space Stockholm syndrome”).
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, with Michael Sheen and Laurence Fishburne.
