Set in the future, "Passengers" centers on Jim Preston, a mechanic on a 120-year journey to a distant colonized planet in another galaxy, who becomes the first traveler to experience pod hibernation failure. Having woken up 100 years too soon, he is stranded in the world of an interstellar spaceship with only robots and androids for companionship. A year into his journey, he decides to wake up a fellow passenger, a beautiful journalist named Aurora. They fall in love but must soon deal not only with the revelation of Jim's misjudged act of waking her but a major malfunction of the ship itself.

MOVIE REVIEW

Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence are electric on-screen together and the sci-fi romantic thriller Passengers proves to be a moderately entertaining jaunt, though your enjoyment factor will depend heavily on whether you can overlook a rather glaring plot point that is understandably omitted from the trailers.
