Movie #342 "Passengers" has an ending that is prepared for way too long --- guessed it (didn't everyone?) so it needed to come more quickly -- that wouldn't be so bad, but when you say, "Hey, wait a minute --- how is that possible?" then something is amiss. When you feel cheated or tricked (or manipulated), then it isn't as honest a film as i would have wanted it to be. I did stick with this one, though, mostly because the acting is so good --- Hathaway, Wilson, Diane Wiest, and David Morse all could have phoned their parts in, but they didn't. And I also esp. liked that neither the beginning or ending scenes, though frightening, show the plane actually crashing. thanks for that!
