Passengers

I wanted to see this movie when it was at the theater, but missed it, so I’ve
been waiting for the DVD ever since. I
had very high hopes – and was not disappointed!
It has two of my favorite actors – Jennifer Lawrence and Chris
Pratt. The story is about a group of
over 5,000 people from Earth that are traveling to a distant planet colony. Their trip will take 120 years, so they are
all in a state of hibernation until the ship reaches the planet. Well, that sounds all good, until one of the
hibernation pods malfunctions and Jim (Chris Pratt) wakes up almost 90 years
before he is supposed to! He finds
himself the only one awake on the entire ship and needs to figure out what to
do and if he should try to wake anyone else.
By doing that, their lives would be forever changed, as his was
now. His decision to wake up Jennifer’s
character, Aurora, sets off a chain reaction of learning how to live knowing
you will never see land again. There
were quite a few moments that reminded me of movies like Cast Away and The
Martian as far as being alone and needing to find a way to
survive. I just really enjoyed the story
and the acting with this one – I’m sure I’ll be watching it again!
