![]() There are many moments where 'Passengers' provokes a lot of thought and is intriguing, raising some very interesting questions and ideas. 'La La Land' deserved the win but of the other Best Original Score nominees (which included 'Jackie', which should never have been nominated) 'Passengers' for me was one of the better ones. Don't think that Thomas Newman's score has been talked about enough despite being nominated for an Oscar (losing out to 'La La Land'), it's understated and hauntingly beautiful in a distinctive Newman.

For one thing 'Passengers' looks wonderful, the advertising didn't lie in this regard. 'Passengers' is one of the latter examples and a lot of the problem with its less than enthusiastic critical response is to do with advertising which didn't indicate that it would be as unconventional as it was. There have been a fair share of times where our opinions have been different, when a praised film didn't do much for me and a panned one surprised me in a good way.

I think it's strange that he made something directly bad. One of the best Norwegian directors, without a doubt. At the same time, I know that Morten Tyldum is an incredibly good director. And I have to admit that I enjoyed this movie well, even though I understand some of the criticisms. But it does not make sense to listen to others. Appearance that the film has gone bad, not earned enough, etc. ![]() I have to admit that I had low expectations when I was going to see this movie.
