Cinephile No. 625 "Passengers"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

I am so thrilled to see a sense of imagination has returned to the space travel movie. In my mind, it all began with Christopher Nolan's confusing, yet inventive "Interstellar." "Passengers" picks up where that film left off but refuses to make the same mistakes. The plot is easy to follow and you don't have to be a theoretical astrophysicist to understand the science behind it. Thanks to the chemistry between Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence our attention is held while they occupy the screen alone with nothing more to interact with than the ship and a hilarious android. It even features a few surprises that will keep you guessing until the very end. If this is the direction space movies are to go, then I am all for it. 

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
