Assignment 17: Dylan Ruddy

The movie I watched over winter break was Passengers. I would give this movie a three out of five stars. Though it was an interesting plot it had many flaw that kept it away from being five stars. One of these was at the beginning as they are trying to show you how long he has been alone, they are not very effective at giving you the perception of time. This causes you to judge his actions much more harshly throughout the movie. The movie is also ineffective at showing the results of solitary, which would have helped the viewer to empathize with the main character much more. Also many aspects of the ship made little sense, why were the passengers supposed to wake up before they arrived at the destination, they wasted a ton of money on sending the luxury amenities up there to be used for three months. Also all the doors being locked made very little sense. If someone was awake they would need to be able to get to the crew and if everybody is asleep there is no threat to the crew. These greatly effected the movie for me and while the concept, acting, and plot was good, there is much to be desired.
