Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway leads an impressive cast in this supernatural-tinged thriller from director Rodrigo Garcia (Things You Can Tell By Just Looking at Her). Hathaway is typically fine as a novice therapist assigned to the survivors of a horrific plane crash; all are traumatized save one (Patrick Wilson, Watchmen), who exudes a newfound joie de vivre as well as a serious yen for Hathaway. As the mismatched pair grows closer, the survivors begin to disappear, spurring Hathaway into an investigation into what exactly transpired during the doomed flight. Though the two leads are a photogenic pair, they’re continually underserved by the script, which serves up an alarming array of red herrings and false steps; Garcia does his best to impart the same sort of layered, multi-character structure to Passengers he brought to his arthouse dramas like Nine Lives, but the material is too thin and derivative to afford him much traction. The terrific supporting cast, which includes Andre Braugher, Dianne Wiest, Clea Duvall, David Morse, and, appropriately enough, William B. Davis--The X-Files’ Cancer Man--is also left stranded by the script. --Paul Gaita

 AMAZING! January 14, 2010
Mary Farah (MIAMI, FLORIDA)
This movie is amazing. I always knew who Anne Hatheway was but started liking her in this film. Not only did she peform an amazing role. Her character was so charming and beautiful. This movie didn't get the credit it deserved. I bought this movie from Amazon and I'm so happy I did. Everyone of my friends who didn't see it, I had them see it and they all loved it!
 Enjoyable film, but some holes in the plot... November 17, 2009

I like the actors in this film, and it has a cool vibe, plus an interesting story. But as mentioned in earlier reviews, the plot is derivative--I won't say from which film. Also, this rather derivative plot has holes. Why don't the passengers remember each other from the flight? If they can remember an explosion, they should remember who was around them. Also, (SEMI-SPOILER ALERT) how is Anne Hathaway's character's boss suddenly someone from her past that she didn't recognize before? It doesn't add up (END SEMI-SPOILER ALERT).
So a couple of GLARING, OBVIOUS plot defects there. Whoops. Am I missing something? Anyway, a rather enjoyable flick nonetheless. Makes you think...
Why is it that young, good looking single people are always available in the movies, never having married or even ever serious with anyone (until they hook up with their costar's character, of course). In real life, you know Hathaway's character would be some big Bertha who's always ready for some "one on one house calls" with any bachelor..."Give me a call, big boy!" Yeesh! :-)
 Good film in the vein of M Night Shymalan November 16, 2009
Rick H (NC)
This film is quite slow-moving for the first half or so, but it's worth your time if you stick with it 'til the end. If you're a fan of M. Night Shymalan's better work, and maybe a little Rod Serling influence as well, you should enjoy this. My true rating would be 3.5 but I rounded up to 4 stars. Not as bad as some reviews here would have you believe.
 Ripoff-y, not very original or good October 28, 2009

It's a ripoff-y tearjerker with bad acting by Anne Hathaway and Dianne Wiest, tho the other actors did well with a limited script. It's not at all what it seems at first, a conspiracy theory movie -- not that that would have been an improvement, it's just that this particular paranormal theme is done, and it has the same ending twist *******************SPOILER AHEAD **************************** as the Sixth Sense, without the better acting that makes that movie watchable. Hathaway here plays an annoying character, yes, but also plays her badly, imo, making it doubly hard to watch. I know the ending was supposed to be heartwarming, but it just didn't convince me.
Very Solid, Paranormally Oriented Movie October 18, 2009
carol irvin (United States)
If you liked SIXTH SENSE, you should like this film. Although it doesn't have quite the dramatic punch of that film, it certainly has punch enough over the course of it. The plot line is that there is a plane crash. There are only a handful of survivors and psychologist Anne Hathaway is called in to do group therapy with that small group. However, strange things begin to happen to the survivors and Hathaway becomes very suspicious. She is sure that the airline is trying to conceal some pertinent facts from her and everyone else. She delves further into this while getting closer and closer to one of the male patients in her small group. Anne Hathaway is a very lovely and talented actress.
