DeBaser's review of Morten Tyldum's Passengers criticises the film's reliance on spectacle and a conventional, safe ending. The review highlights strong moments (notably Michael Sheen and Jennifer Lawrence) but calls the film a missed opportunity. Overall tone is dismissive of the director's daring in this work.
