Passengers

Don't go see this if you liked the look of it just from what you saw in the trailer - it honest to god not what I wanted to see.

In the trailer for Passengers it cleverly tells you that there is a twist at the end of the film, well basically forget all of that because the supposed 'twist' is more at the start of the film sort of.
And to be honest this film is boring, so not worth money to watch it and anyway what else would you expect from the human bile that Jennifer Lawrence? 
She is quite annoying in this, like it is becoming increasingly hard to find a film where Lawrence just does an okay job, and manages to not annoy the absolute fuck out of me. Just go and fucking offend a whole fucking community's culture again. Sad.

I know I shouldn't let the fact that she is in a film shape the way I view it beforehand, and it's hard, but I went into watching this film expecting something bigger than what I got. I am in some ways disapointed with Passengers, and I think most others will be as well. The story itself is promising, but I just feel that both main actors just didn't really know or care about the characters they were playing. 

So, we meet Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) who mistakenly wakes up early in his pod when on a trip to the new earth with a load of other humans just sleeping away. Understandably he's pissed off that he can't be put back under and the ship is not helpful in any way. So after trying time and time over, he breaks half the ship without realising and gives up on everything - he now has to spend the rest of his life alone while it takes 90 years for the ship to arrive at the new earth. So, understandably he gets lonely after spending I think a whole year alone on the ship, only a robot bartender to talk to and no real money in his earnings to get any good food. He decides to wake someone up, and yes its Jennifer Lawrence, who has honestly one of the most stupid names ever - Aurora Lane. She isn't a superhero or anything, so why the weird name.

So after thinking for ages that she woke up by accident as well, the pair live together and fall in love, go on the dance machine, play basketball and get drunk and it isn't as entertaining as it sounds. None of this film is as good as it looks. Laurence Fishburne is in it for about a mini second, his part is so pointless you could blink and his character would be over and done with. 
The ending is nice in some way I suppose though.
It's okay.
Chris Pratt's character almost dies really when trying to save the whole ship and the most annoying actress in the whole world. But he doesn't, and like he really should have, maybe that would have made this film better. And so spoiler alert, the two live out the rest of their lives on the ship happily ever after...
oh and also grow a whole fucking rain-forest and I'm still not sure exactly why.

Watch this film when it evidently comes on ITV in the future, do not pay for this film.
