what went wrong? how did this flick fail at box office? they

>>82334786
Didn't it do alright overall? Putting it up against Rogue One was probably a bad idea.

>Pratt
Based but I cant imagine him playing a more serious role after seeing Guardians/Jurassic World
>JLaw
Doesn't get me going. Too young.

I'll pirate it sometime

>>82334786
SJWs were too buttblasted about Pratt waking up JLaw. They called it rape.

>>82334854
>tfw I found out she was 26 a few days ago
I always thought she was like 35. Man she is not aging well.

(((Feminists))) complained about it

>>82334903
source?

>>82334786
It wasn't very good. It was pretty and Pratt's performance was alright, but that's about it.

>>82334786
becuase it was fucking stupid and even sub 150 iq normies realized how retarded the entire plot was when they couldnt re-enter hibernation or wake up the tech crew to fix the problem right away, etc

>5000 passengers on ship
>only 1 med bay pod

>>82334786
J Law was awful and didn't even try. Pratt put in the effort and got paid a tiny fraction of what she did.

Except that abortion was agonizing to watch.

>>82334786
It did fine. Made back its budget and then some.

CRITICALLY it got blasted. For basically the reason >>82334903 posted. Which is annoying.

They didn't show that fact at all in the trailers so people were mad when they watched the movie and got hit with that out of nowhere.

>>82334990
Google passengers rape. Or look at any rotten review on RT.

>>82335506
wew
They're right

>>82334786
i just read the plot in wikipedia without watching the movie first. AMA

Man imagine spending a WHOLE YEAR with no human contact!!

>>82335691
>AMA
go back to ebaumsworld you fagget

>computer can't wake up the crew mid journey

Was there a way to have sex with the hibernating women without waking them up? It seems like that would be the optimal solution.

I would have raped every hot girl while they were asleep, then eventually wake one up

>>82335907
>I would have raped every hot girl while they were asleep

me too and then when I'm 68 and my willy gives up I'll pilot the ship directly into a sun to erase all evidence

That there broke the suspension of disbelief

Also Jlaw stopped being the flavor of the month and no one cares about her

>>82334786
they butchered the script and basicly put the ending twist at the beginning

YOU TAKE IT BACK

>>82336092
people are tired of twists. they are overused in every other tv show

>>82336092
Actually, Passengers was basically always intended to be like this, despite being in development for like ten fucking years.

The original idea for the ending was really weird though:

You should never go full meme

>>82334786
This whole thing with popular actors getting people to watch a film, they wouldn't watch otherwise, is a big meme

>is instantly forgiven for what he did when it becomes clear that they need two people to save the shit and that everyone would've died if he hadn't woken her up

this is so stupid

if I rob and murder someone and it's later found out that that person was planning a terrorist attack that would've caused casualties in the thousands it's not like I'm get hailed as a hero for saving so many lives, I'd still go to jail for murder

Sad

G-Senjou no Maou basically did exactly what you described and it ended with him getting eight years in prison.

Reminded me of Thank You for smoking

>>82336261
>sentence someone to death because it makes you happy
>fucking around with life sustaining /potentially life threatening devices as a passenger because you want to bang a hot chick
It's not rape but it's arguably the most fitting word for it

>>82336331
Thank You for Smoking and Passengers are both good movies.

>>82336331
Thank You for smoking might be really edgy but it's quite good movie

>>82334903
It wasn't rape, but he did doom another person and ruin her dreams because he didn't have the guts to be alone or at least kill himself. He's a piece of shit and should've died at the end while J-Law's character goes back to cryo sleep.

>>82336358

Listen homo. It's not rape. It's may be fucked up but it's not rape. Them being awake saved the whole colony from dying. You have a word modern sense of morality, I'd go as far as to say that you are sheltered suburban scum

>>82336358
It's a good thing there are plenty of other words in the English language. You can even string multiple words together to express ideas too complicated for one word.

Or if I had to condense all that to one word: rape.

>>82335795
Well, you're technically having human contact right now, it's just through the Internet. Pratt didn't even have that.

>>82336427
>Them being awake saved the whole colony from dying
Oh fuck off this played nothing into his decision you coward

>You have a word modern sense of morality, I'd go as far as to say that you are sheltered suburban scum
wew lad. Seems like someone has some issues with himself

>>82336427
>Them being awake saved the whole colony from dying.

>implying they didn't throw that in to make the entire ordeal seem less fucked up
>"look, he ruined this girl's life, but hey, they fixed this thing and now it's alright!"

>>82335270
I('ve) heard of the movie when it was coming out, but didn't know anything about it, so obviously I didn't give a shit about it. but I watched that Nerdwriter video last week and it seemed like a decent plot (both the original and the rearrange)

did he ever upload the complete re-arranged movie?

>>82336422
JLaw's character still did what she loved (writing), got to spend her life with a man she loved, and had every amenity provided for her. Pratt's character still did what he loved (tinkering), got to spend his life with a woman he loved, and had every amenity provided for him. If they wanted other human interaction then they could talk to the robot bartender. Or I'm sure there were plenty of conversational AI programs available on a computer they could talk to. That sounds like a pretty damn good life. I'd gladly choose that over what I have now if it meant forgoing any other human contact. I realize not everyone is like me, but movie characters just need to be plausible.

>>82336358
They used the most fitting word for it in the moving and your post makes direct reference to it. It was murder.

>sentence someone to death because it makes you happy
>This is rape
You're retarded.

>>82336456
But you're all just bots no different from the bartender

Neither of them have movie star looks. They look like a checkout girl and a construction worker from Idaho who got married too young. Big, round, boring faces.

>>82337048
We don't really have crazy good looking movie stars like Brad Pitt was in his prime. Most of them look great, but approachable.

>>82334786

Box office success has fuck all to do with quality.

Granted, she has lost credibility since the fappening, but I enjoyed Passengers.

Unlike most mindless drones wanting sequels, it was refreshing for me personally to see a new idea being used by Hollywood.

Sadly most cretins prefer to see MCU quipfest#12 than to see something entirely new.
