When I saw the trailer for this movie I knew I would experience an amazing travel in a fantastic spaceship in the extraordinary beautiful outer space with two of my favorite actors.
So what's the story? In the future, a giant spaceship with 5000 sleeping passengers from earth is on a space-journey to a new colony on a new planet. But due to a malfunction, a passenger named Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) wakes up 90 years too early and quickly realizes that he will be dead before the spaceship reaches it's destination and will probably be alone for his whole life. He gets very lonely after a while and can't take it anymore. When he discovers that he can make another passenger awake, he wakes up Aurora Dunn (Jennifer Lawrence) in hope that he will no longer be alone and might get her to fall in love with him. But soon they both discover that there might be something wrong with the spaceship and has to do something about it.
So what did I think about the movie? It was great. I liked the performance of Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence, the scenography, the special effects, the romance, and the thrilling action scenes. The way they try to make space a beautiful scenario to travel through is very excellent, and how the spaceship looks like a very luxury cruise is really cool (and yes, you could think they are ripping off the Wall- E scenario here, but this movie is really not trying to be that over the top, I promise you that). The way the two lead characters are interacting with each other is probably the best thing about the movie. If there is a reason to watch the movie twice, it is to see the lead characters again. Their romance is likable and you believe the chemistry between them is genuine. I mean come on! It's Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt alone in a spaceship. You are gonna get what you want. But of course, the movie is not without the typical "liar revealed", and you might think it's gonna ruin the movie. But surprisingly, they made it work without any unnecessary problems in the story.
What's the bad thing about the movie? I think it depends on what you want? Okay, maybe the movie could have worked without the 3D-effects too, but I digress. If you want a likable romance with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence in a sci-fi adventure movie that also provides a thrilling action story, I believe you are gonna get it in this one. I liked this movie and I will watch it again sometimes.
