Lost in Space: Passengers, reviewed.
Chris Klimek
Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence in Passengers, a miscast and misbegotten fairy tale in space.
I had hopes for Passengers, from Prometheus writer Jon Spaihts and The Imitation Game director Morten Tyldum, because I root for science fiction films in general and because I've just edited a story for Air & Space/Smithsonian about research into human hibernation for long-term spaceflights, which is key to the premise of this movie. But its billion-dollar ideas are undermined by its five-cent guts, as I aver in my NPR review. Bummer.
