	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Given the imaginative setup and the material's provocative questions about mortality (...) the movie's neat lessons about the nature of happiness and a life well lived feel too easy, too obvious."	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"'Passengers' is the tale of a lonely guy in space, the drama of an ethical conundrum, a love story featuring two of the hottest actors on the planet, and a turbulent sci-fi action-adventure - and for all of that, it manages to be not a very good movie."	NEU
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"'Passengers' refuses to really wrestle with the compelling questions at its core, instead opting to lean on Lawrence and Pratt’s collective charm to keep things ticking amiably along (...) 'Titanic' in space? No, but it's certainly a disaster."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The spectacle feels lifeless and what could have been a challenging moral provocation dissolves into sappy, feel-good pandering. Lawrence and Pratt deserve better. So do audiences (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United Kingdom	James Dyer Empire	"'Passengers' is as surprisingly traditional as it is undeniably effective (...) [It] is a journey well worth taking. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence have plenty of chemistry but his cyber-stalker actions kill the romance and the space peril is hardly pulse-quickening. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"'Passengers' is not very good. In fact, it’s pretty bad."	NEG
United States	Jordan Hoffman The Playlist	"The movie is propulsive and, if you aren’t nauseated by the ethics, quite engaging."	POS
United Kingdom	John Hazelton Screendaily	"'Passengers' is a messy and unconvincing mash-up that tries to get by on the not inconsiderable charm of stars Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt."	NEG
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"A pleasant surprise (...) 'Passengers' has moments of intense drama that take the actors to places of extreme feeling"	POS
