Passengers (Review)

What I knew going in:
Anne Hathaway plays a psychiatrist looking into an airplane crash where something strange is happening to the survivors.

Hype: 
Meh.  This was recommended to me by a friend of mine, which I hadn't seen even though it was released in 2008.

Opening Thoughts:
This movie keeps flopping back and forth between dramatic tension and creepy music, followed by happy romance and drama.  Each flop, while competent, is spoiling the feel of the movie and adds an unecessary layer of confusion.

Bottom Line:
The twist of the film at the end, while interesting, is a mite predictable.  Still, the ride is fun if a little slow at times, and it all makes sense at the end.  Not as good as The Forgotten, but not bad if you want a movie that will cause you to do some heavy thinking.
