My wife and I just found this comedy. What a fantastic show. They deal with uncomfortable subjects almost every episode and really do it well. It's almost like this comedy was before it's time. Terribly sad that it was only was on for 2 seasons.

Cool idea for a movie, but with a group of no name bad actors with very little character development, it really doesn't work. They really didn't act any different when they were supposedly in some one else's body. Quit watching about halfway through and moved on with my life. I suggest you don't waste yours.

Don't bother with this. No character development. This movie throws you in with a cast of nobodies. You have no idea who is who, who is related to who, and since it's filled with actors who you have never seen before, you don't really care. This Christmas, drive to a neighborhood you have never been to before, pick a house with a lot of cars in front, and walk in. This experience will be the same as this movie with the exception of that you might get something to eat before they throw you out.

"Passengers," directed by Morten Tyldum and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, is a science fiction film that explores themes of loneliness, love, and the moral dilemmas of human existence. Set on a spaceship traveling to a distant colony planet, the story follows Jim (Pratt), who is awakened from hypersleep 90 years too early due to a malfunction. Struggling with isolation, he ultimately decides to wake up fellow passenger Aurora (Lawrence), leading to a complex relationship as they navigate their new reality. The film's visuals are stunning, showcasing the vastness of space and the sleek design of the starship. The performances by Lawrence and Pratt are engaging, bringing depth to their characters' emotional struggles. However, the film has faced criticism for its pacing and some of the ethical implications surrounding Jim's decision to wake Aurora, which some viewers found problematic. Overall, "Passengers" is a thought-provoking film that combines romance and science fiction, despite its flaws. It raises interesting questions about love, sacrifice, and the human condition in the face of existential challenges. "Passengers" raises several ethical questions concerning personal choices in isolation, particularly around themes of consent, loneliness, and moral responsibility. Here are some of the key ethical dilemmas presented in the film: 1. **Consent and Autonomy**: Jim's decision to wake Aurora without her consent raises significant ethical concerns. It challenges viewers to consider the implications of making choices for others, especially in situations where the other person is unable to give informed consent due to being in a state of sleep. 2. **Loneliness vs. Morality**: The film forces a confrontation between the desire for companionship and the moral implications of one's actions. Jim's isolation drives him to make a choice that profoundly affects another person's life, raising questions about how far one might go to alleviate their own loneliness at the expense of another's autonomy and future. 3. **Sacrifice and Responsibility**: The film explores the idea of sacrifice in relationships. As Jim grapples with his choice, the question emerges: is it justifiable to put one's needs above someone else's well-being? The characters must navigate the consequences of their choices and the responsibilities they hold toward each other. 4. **Existentialism**: The film also touches on existential themes by examining what it means to live meaningfully in isolation. It raises questions about the value of life and relationships, prompting viewers to consider how isolation can distort personal motivations and ethical reasoning. 5. **Redemption and Forgiveness**: As the story unfolds, Jim seeks redemption for his actions, and the film invites viewers to reflect on whether forgiveness is possible in situations where someone's choices have caused significant harm to another. These ethical questions contribute to the film's depth, encouraging audiences to reflect on the complexities of human relationships, the impact of isolation, and the moral choices that define our lives.

I am no writer, so don't expect a long wonderful review. I am a 63yr old gamer, and I have never seen an adaptation of a video game this good. My wife watched it once, then got me hooked, and we both watched it again. This series has everything in it. Action, story, romance. It ends very open ended. There is so much more story to tell. This could easily be another Walking Dead if Peacock would get off their butt and order more episodes. Hear that guys? We are waiting.......

OMG what a snorefest. Both my wife and I fell asleep during this no plot movie and she is a Wes Anderson fan. I refuse to go to anymore of this overrated directors movies until he personally gives me my money back.
