The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Passengers (2016)

Starring: Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Sheen, Lawrence Fishburne
Director: Mortem Tyldum

Premise:
On a 150 year space trip to colony on another planet, a man accidentally wakes up way too soon. He eventually decides to sabotage a pod and wake up a girl. All the while the spaceship, which is suppose to be able to repair itself, starts to malfunction.

My Take:
An interesting movie which glosses over the truly horrific and moral parts -basically the main character is a stalker and murderer no matter how likeable he might be - and turns it more into a love story with some adventure. The movie works due to the main actors and it's ends up being a typical Hollywood feel good story.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: Netflix DVD
