Passengers is a sci-fi movie depicting unexpected life events
of Jim Preston as one of 5000 passengers aboard the Avalon Starship, heading to
a new colony in 120 years long journey. An unforeseen incident to the ship accidentally
wakes Jim up 90 years earlier from his hibernation, and forces him to make
decisions he does not always like to survive.
Unlike many other sci-fi movies, Passengers superbly portrays
human’s basic will to survive, needs for others, and expression of love.
