Passengers is a 2016 Science Fiction romance film directed by Morten Tyldum (Headhunters, The Imitation Game), written by Jon Spaihts (Doctor Strange), and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, with Michael Sheen and Laurence Fishburne in supporting roles.The Avalon is a Sleeper Starship on a 120-year trip from Earth to Homestead II, a colonized planet in distant outer space. Due to a ship malfunction, one of the passengers aboard — engineer Jim Preston (Pratt) — is accidentally awoken 30 years into the trip, and try as he might, he is unable to re-hibernate himself. The prospect of what will become of the remaining 90 years between him and his destination is a crippling one for him to come to terms with, and loneliness sets in hard shortly after.In the depths of his despair, Jim stumbles across a woman in her pod, Aurora Lane (Lawrence), and becomes smitten with her to the extent of contemplating an unthinkable decision: whether or not to consciously awaken Aurora from her pod to share his fate.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Jim interacts with the floor-washing robots as he would with animals eating the food he drops on the ground. First he chases them away, so they run away. Then he has pity, so he calls them back and throws them some food.

You Had Us Worried There: Played with. When Jim is hurled out of the vent shaft, communication to Aurora breaks down. She is deeply worried and asks if he is still there but no one answers. We then see Jim alive floating in space, but it takes another minute until he decides to re-establish communication to tell Aurora that he's alright.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Passengers (2016) / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers make it look as though both Jim and Aurora wake up by accident, around the same time. Actually, Jim is awake on his own for a year, becomes infatuated with Aurora, and wakes her up on purpose. Some of the early trailers also make the film look like it's a suspense thriller with a focus on the ontological mystery aspect of the plot, when actually the film's overall atmosphere is much more human drama and romance, with the reason for the characters waking up early being disclosed relatively early on and being fairly mundane.

Say My Name: Aurora has a habit of doing this. She yells Gus's name as he passes out, then she and Jim do it later when they run through the ship, searching for him. She yells Arthur's name when she sees him malfunctioning. And finally, when her spacesuit tether goes taut and prevents her from reaching Jim. She has to use his severed tether to reach him.

Failsafe Failure
 Passengers (2016) / int_1d3c92da
comment
Failsafe Failure: The ship is more than a bit reminiscent of the "unsinkable" Titanic. The Homestead Company is so confident in its cutting-edge starships that it decided to completely trust the automatic pilot and maintenance systems to fly the ship for the near-totality of its journey, only waking everyone for the final four months. The crew is never to be awoken from stasis for any reason (even emergency situations) and there is no means to put anyone under again if they are revived somehow. All it takes to nearly destroy the entire ship is one unlucky encounter with an asteroid which damages the reactor control computer and leads to a cascade failure in all the ship's systems as the computer tries and fails to compensate for the loss. If Jim hadn't been accidentally awoken from cryosleep, or anyone less competent than him had, the ship wouldn't have even made it halfway to its destination, for want of someone to replace the broken control module. All critical areas of the ship are sealed behind blast doors which can only be opened by someone with security clearance and which absolutely nothing on the ship can breach. The only people that possess this clearance are behind said doors. This unfortunately means Jim cannot reach a single person with any authority after his pod malfunctions. The autodoc is programmed not to perform any major forms of surgery or resuscitation unless there is a licensed doctor present or if given an override command by an officer, ostensibly to prevent less knowledgeable passengers from harmfully misusing the autodoc. If not for the fortunate arrival of Gus, this would have spelled Jim's death. There's only a single autodoc on a ship with a crew of 258 and 5000 passengers. It's the only reason Jim and Aurora don't both go back into hibernation at the end and live out their lives aboard the ship.

Chekhov's Gun
 Passengers (2016) / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: The infirmary. Jim mentions it's "just scanners and an Autodoc". They later use the Autodoc to find out what's wrong with Gus, and then Aurora uses it to resuscitate Jim following his Heroic Sacrifice. Gus reads an override code to make the Autodoc give him the true diagnosis of his condition. Aurora would later use that same code to force the doc to use every resuscitation process at the same time on Jim. The spacesuits. Jim uses one early on, and he and Aurora later do the same. They eventually come back when Jim uses one to vent the reactor of the Avalon, and then Aurora uses one to get Jim back into the ship.

Actor Allusion: The scene where Aurora rescues Jim from space and revives him is near-identical to something that happened to Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy. Only that time he was the one doing the rescuing, though both times he still ended up nearly dying. Also related to Guardians: "Dance off!" Gus — who is played by Laurence Fishburne — says he "should have taken the pills". Is he thinking of the blue and red ones?

Part of the deal the passengers make is that, after uprooting their lives to start over on a new planet, they get to enjoy four months of ultra-luxurious space cruising before arriving to begin the hard work of Settling the Frontier. Jim and Aurora have the entire ship to themselves and take full advantage of the accommodations (although Jim, who's not a gold-class passenger like Aurora, has to resort to trespassing, deception and other illegal shenanigans to access the same amenities she paid for).

Scenery Porn: The movie's visuals are nothing short of breathtaking, from the design of the Avalon both inside and out to the beautiful space vistas and of course the ridiculously attractive main cast. Think what you will of the story and its implications, but the film sure delivers some serious eye candy.

comment
Deflector Shields: The Avalon is equipped with a huge dome-shaped one projected from the bow to protect the ship from head-on collisions with asteroids and other deep space detritus. The film opens with the ship having to divert all power to the shield to survive an Asteroid Thicket, and one particularly large rock manages to overwhelm the shield for a moment, leading to Jim's pod failure as the ship compensates for the reactor control system having been hit by a fragment. Even so it's an impressive piece of tech, considering the Avalon is hurtling through space at half the speed of light.

The manual override of the reactor's vent door only works as long as somebody is there to turn the lever. Makes you wonder what situation this safety measure would make sense for other than for committing a Heroic Sacrifice. It is, however, implied that this isn't how it's supposed to work: odds are the damage to the systems damaged this safety mechanism as well, requiring that someone hold the door open as it were.

Meaningful Name: The woman woken up from a lengthy hypersleep is named Aurora. The ship containing the thousands of sleeping passengers is called the Avalon, like the island where King Arthur was put to sleep until Britain's hour of need. Fittingly, the one android we see on the ship is named Arthur. The Bhakti System, where Homestead II is located, is another one. Bhakti is a concept in Hinduism that means devoted love, albeit for one's god rather than one's partner.

comment
Stalker with a Crush: Jim, to Aurora, feels like this even before he wakes her up from cryosleep against her will. Though it's mostly because of the predicament of Go Mad from the Isolation, and the character contemplates the morality of the act several times before giving in. Even after he does go through with it, it's clear that he realizes it is a terrible thing to do to her and hates himself for doing it. When she beats the crap out of him and raises an object as though she means to kill him, he doesn't even fight back.

A Match Made in Stockholm: The movie's detractors claim Jim and Aurora's relationship to be this, since he wakes her up, thus, as far as he knows, taking away the life she wanted to have, and in the end she decides to stay with him. It's more complicated than this however. When she learns the truth, she spends a lot of time being incredibly mad at him, to the point she almost kills him once. Later she slowly comes to realize her time with him was possibly the happiest in her life and she previously mentioned they'd most likely never meet otherwise. It still takes them working together to save the ship, with Jim nearly dying to save everyone, along with Gus telling her that Jim's actions, while bad, were out of desperation, rather than malice, for her to forgive him and fall in love with him again.

Recycled IN SPACE!
 Passengers (2016) / int_905438eb
comment
Recycled In Space: Arguably, this is The Bible in space: First, we have an Adam and Eve parallel, a guy wakes up as a result of an error (sin) alone on a spaceship. He immediately decides he doesn't want to be alone, so he wakes up another passenger Aurora. Next, the ship is largely fleeing from issues on Earth as effectively Noah's ark, although the destruction of Earth is subverted quite a bit, since it is mainly a colony ship. There are 5000 people on this ship, reminding the audience of the feeding of the 5000. A minor detail, but the captain who is brought to fix things, has about 612 errors (representing the Jewish Law, and how the later writings called it a "curse") eventually resulting in his demise. Lastly, there is a heroic sacrifice in order to save the 5000 (this one doesn't result in death, but it very nearly could have), which in turn restores the ship to an ideal state.

In the Future, We Still Have Roombas: The ship is equipped with numerous roomba-bots to clean up after the passengers. Jim even intentionally drops stuff on the floor to get their attention, being so deprived of any sort of interaction as the only person who's awake. The fact that an increasing number of these bots randomly go haywire over time is a sign that the ship's systems are slowly failing.

Subspace Ansible: Humorously subverted. Jim learns the hard way that interstellar communication doesn't work that way when he sends a message to Earth, only to find out he won't get a response for at least 55 years. But he's still charged an exorbitant sum of money to make use of the service.

Foreshadowing: After Aurora wakes up, and looks for a way to go back to sleep, she asks Jim about the infirmary. He replies it's "just scanners and an Autodoc". Guess what the Autodoc can do. Jim floating through space in his spacesuit while attached to the ship by its tether. He later has to use the spacesuits to vent the ship's reactor and save everyone on board the ship.

comment
Made of Iron: When the Avalon's damaged fusion reactor is about to blow and starts shooting metal bolts through the room like bullets, one of them hits Aurora in the upper arm, but instead of goring a fist-sized hole through her, the thing penetrates barely a centimeter deep before it simply gets stuck. She then pulls it out, a tiny bit of blood wells from the wound, she wraps some rags around it and continues fresh as a daisy. Shortly before that incident, the Avalon's artificial gravity cuts out briefly, long enough for both Aurora and Jim to float up to a height of about two storeys. When the AG reactivates and smashes them back into the metal floor, neither even gets as much as a bruise.

Secret-Keeper: Jim tells Arthur that it's to be a secret that he woke Aurora up. This backfires catastrophically when Aurora tells Arthur that she and Jim "have no secrets from each other." Arthur, remembering his promise to Jim, asks Jim to confirm this, and Jim agrees. Jim's tone would make it clear to a human that he's warning Arthur not to spill the beans, but the android simply takes him at his word.

Space Is Cold: Jim goes from roasting to freezing in no time once he's knocked out into space. His suit even starts to frost and crack. When Jim and Aurora discover the compartment with the relatively minor hull breach and they manage to plug the hole, they each lean back against the compartment wall and immediately recoil, because it's freezing (because the compartment has been open to space for two years).

Further Rule of Drama comes into play when a metal door (being used by Jim as a makeshift shield to protect himself from the plasma vent) is able to withstand the furnace of a fusion reactor, but then gets instantly vaporized as it floats into what appears to be a large ion thruster.

Megacorp: Homestead, the company that owns the Avalon and the planet it's about to settle, along with a number of similar ships and holdings, is heavily implied to be one. Aurora mentions that colonizing frontier worlds has turned them a profit of five quadrillion dollars even without taking the Avalon's mission into account. Since that's such an unimaginable sum of money, she's so kind to point out that a quadrillion equals one million billions (or 1,000,000,000,000,000$ for those of you who like figures with a lot of zeros)note To put that into an actual perspective, in real life, Earth's entire economy was evaluated at 75 quadrillions and the largest, American share of that was 18.7 in 2016, when the fim came out. Aurora appears to be a quite wealthy woman herself (since she's making the trip as a Gold Class passenger just to visit the colony for a year before going back to Earth), and judging by how stunned she sounds while relating those numbers, it's safe to assume that a quadrillion dollars in their time is not significantly less than it would be in ours.

Relationship-Salvaging Disaster: Jim and Aurora's relationship understandably falls apart when Aurora learns that Jim woke her up and stranded her with him just so he wouldn't be alone. However, a conveniently timed series of malfunctions that nearly destroys the ship gets them to team up and save it, and ultimately brings them back together.

Oh, Crap!: Jim when he realizes he's still got ninety years of voyage left on the Avalon before getting to Homestead II, and that there's no way he can go back to sleep. Aurora has the same moment when Jim tells her about the 89 years the journey has left. Jim has one when he realizes that Aurora found out he woke her up. At the same time, Aurora has one when she finds out Jim woke her up. A brief one when Aurora notices a cleaning robot is about to fall right where she, Jim and Gus are standing. Aurora when the gravity fails while she's swimming, trapping her inside a floating bubble. Jim as well when he realises he's floating in the air. Jim and Aurora when the Avalon starts properly malfunctioning.

Plot-Demanded Manual Mode: Jim has to go outside the starship and open the fusion reactor's outer vent door because the electronics failures across the ship disabled the internal controls. To make things worse, the door closes the second he takes his hand off the lever, requiring him to stay out there in the plasma stream while Aurora opens the inner door.

No OSHA Compliance
 Passengers (2016) / int_b47d95be
comment
No OSHA Compliance: The stairs and loft in the Vienna Suite (which Jim broke into and made his own quarters) have no handrails. The ship has advanced spacesuits which automatically attach tethers to keep users from floating into space and tracking systems to keep an eye on them at all times, and yet an airlock will apparently allow someone not wearing a spacesuit to open the outer door without a word of protest (if there is a safety function which would have stopped Jim had he gone through with it, it's odd that the computer did not object earlier). The manual override of the reactor's vent door only works as long as somebody is there to turn the lever. Makes you wonder what situation this safety measure would make sense for other than for committing a Heroic Sacrifice. It is, however, implied that this isn't how it's supposed to work: odds are the damage to the systems damaged this safety mechanism as well, requiring that someone hold the door open as it were.

They both agree that Jim did the wrong thing, though.

Even the carpet in the bar/lounge is a reproduction of the carpet from the film.

Spaceship Slingshot Stunt: The ship has to slingshot around a star for part of its journey, which makes a nice show for Jim and Aurora.

What the Hell, Hero?: Gus's reaction to Jim waking up Aurora is a subdued version of this. The film presents Jim's action as understandable given how desperate spending a year alone made him, but also a horrible thing to do.

Romanticized Abuse
 Passengers (2016) / int_d72a4480
comment
Romanticized Abuse: One of the main criticisms against the film. Jim for all intents and purposes stalks Aurora, and then he wakes her up, telling her that her pod malfunctioned and romancing her under that pretense, which from an ethical standpoint makes their sexual relationship akin to rape—no different than if he had kidnapped her while hiding his true identity and then proceeded to woo her without her knowing he was her kidnapper. She understandably calls his action murder after finding out. However, it never portrays Jim as having been right in doing this, and he himself says this was wrong. Aurora reacts realistically and nearly kills him over this. It's only after they save the ship together that she finally forgives him.

comment
Contrived Coincidence: Of more than five thousand cryo pods, the one that malfunctions happens to contain a man who's a Gadgeteer Genius, possessing the necessary skills to be able to fix the crippled ship. Another such incident awakens a senior crew member with full authority to access all of the starship systems, which is exactly what the two protagonists need in the third act. Then, as a final contrived touch, after two years of minor malfunctions, the ship goes critical just as they get said authority, forcing them to fix it themselves, rather than waking up the more experienced crew.

Mile-Long Ship: Aurora mentions early on that the Avalon is about three kilometers long. Judging by what we get to see of the ship (including its ridiculously spacious engineering decks), that number doesn't appear to be exaggerated.

Poverty Food: Not being a gold-class passenger confines Jim to a brick of oatmeal for breakfast, this being the one machine on the ship he can't seem to reprogram or disassemble for his own benefit. He still has access to unlimited amounts of liquor and gourmet food he appropriates from the restaurants, seemingly purchasing them on credit with no intention of ever paying it off.

Artistic License – Space: Arcturus is 36.7 light years from Earth. Having traveled 30 years at one half the speed of light, the Avalon shouldn't be anywhere near it. Even assuming it's "30 years" in ship time (meaning 34.64 years for those on Earth), at half the light speed, Avalon would be only 17.32 light years closer to Arcturus.

Borrowed Biometric Bypass: Averted, probably to avoid gore. One would assume that access to the ship's critical sections is shielded via biometric identification (voice/eye scan, fingerprint, etc.) but all it takes to pass security clearance from dying Gus to the heroes is by handing them an encoded wristband along with a code word.

Exact Words: Two cases. The hibernation pods are repeatedly touted as "fail safe." Not failure-proof, [i]fail-safe[/i], and in Jim's case this is absolutely true. Despite his hibernation pod suffering a critical fault, Jim lived. That's the dictionary definition of fail-safe: even in the event of failure it fails in such a way as to prevent injury or death. Not so much for Gus, however. Jim asks Arthur not to tell Aurora that he woke her deliberately. Arthur is programmed to be a gentleman and obliges, but Jim makes the mistake of telling him that there are no secrets between him and Aurora, which Arthur takes to mean that he no longer has to keep that particular secret.

Mercy Kill: Less of a mercy kill and more of a mercy forced shutdown, but when the Avalon's fusion reactor starts to self-destruct and cause severe malfunctions across the entire ship, Jim goes out of his way to pull out Arthur's CPU, at risk of injury and losing valuable time, to prevent him from destroying himself and his bar when he goes haywire. He's reactivated and fixed once the crisis is averted.

comment
Artistic License – Physics: Rule of Drama wins the day with the Artificial Gravity failures: A rotational gravity centrifuge would continue to function from inertia after a power loss, and gradually lose gravity as the rings stop spinning from friction on the bearings. Jim stands in a tube through which the contents of a malfunctioning fusion reactor are being vented, almost frying his spacesuit, but he doesn't appear to suffer from radiation poisoning - it is possible that the reactor employs a so-called aneutronic reaction, which would not produce energetic neutrons, just as Aurora stands in the control room of said reactor (the shielded window of which is cracking) and she doesn't get radiation poisoning either. Further Rule of Drama comes into play when a metal door (being used by Jim as a makeshift shield to protect himself from the plasma vent) is able to withstand the furnace of a fusion reactor, but then gets instantly vaporized as it floats into what appears to be a large ion thruster. The shot of the Avalon arriving to Homestead II at the end shows it traveling nose-first, when, in fact, it should be stern-first, as the engine should be used to decelerate the ship from relativistic speeds. Of course, doing that would also leave the ship vulnerable to any additional impacts from space rocks, since only the nose has an anti-meteorite shield. Avalon is traveling at .5c, slightly over 93 thousand miles per second. The asteroids that threaten it are not. Not only would it be impossible to see the impending Asteroid Thicket as a human (audience) observer looking at controls, theoretical shields at these velocities are for space dust. Hitting something approximately the mass of the ship at even a tenth of the velocity here has an energy of billions of megatons. The airlock has a verbal prompt to pull the handle to "release air pressure", which also allows access to the button that opens the door, and yet when the door opens there is still a visible rush of air out of the lock. This apparent depressurisation also fails to suck Gus' body out when Jim is giving him his Burial in Space. When Jim goes on his first spacewalk, the combined strain of psychological stress and the experience of being outside move him to tears. Crying on a spacewalk is a problem; tears don't fall, but rather just cling to the eye unless shaken off. Jim's fall as they would under gravity; the only way this would work here is if he were at the end of the tether with his feet pointed away from the ship but we never see him in that attitude.
