As sci-fi, it feels like a professionally produced hybrid that lacks its own identity. As a romance, it never fully earns your investment.

Time Out
Is so anodyne, so frightened of the ethically troubling opportunities inherent in the setup that it just ends up feeling forgettable and silly.

The New York Times
"Passengers" increasingly succumbs to timidity and begins shrinking into a bland science-fiction adventure whose feats of daring and skill feel stale and secondhand.

Los Angeles Times
Sweet but inconsequential at its best, overly contrived at most other times, "Passengers" takes too long to get to its too inevitable plot points to truly entertain.

Hollywood Reporter
Its heavy-handed mix of life-or-death exigencies and feel-good bromides finally feels like a case of more being less.

Titanic amongst the stars — this is a touching, heartfelt tale of loss and love for the Gravity generation.
