A Film, SO BAD, it was Billiant

[AndrewT]

Dear all,

I have just finished watching, the last approx. one hour, of 'Passengers'. This film follows the Adventures- I guess that's the right word- of two Passengers, on a Space Craft. The two, along with a very Elderly Engineer are 'Awakened' some 'ninety odd' years too early.

It quickly becomes apparent that something has 'Happened, to the Ship, and it is slowly Malfunctioning, in more- and more- apparenetly Random ways. One of the Funnier scenes, is were the Gravity 'Goes Off', whilst the girl is in the Swimming Pool.... No 'great cause' for concern really, I told this film WAS 'funny'. The girl is caught in a 'Ball' of water, and it Looks like, she will drown. As Suddenly, as it went 'off', the Gravity comes back on.... All the water lands Safely back IN the pool the girl is 'thrown' to the side and, apart from being a bit Breathless, is fine.

If you think THAT was a Little 'Far Fetched'.... Later, in the film, they all discover the Real Problem. The Reactor Core has been damaged, by a Meteor Strike, and is Venting Plasma into itself.... You are Told, that this, could have been 'happening' for years- obviously this has Just become Critial, well obviously...... after all that time. I mean clearly so!

To cut a, very large part, of this film 'Down A Bit'.... The Plasma won't 'Vent', from the inside, so he has to go outside... he has to hold the 'Vent' open and is thereafter catapulted into space. She goes out, in her spacesuit, and retrieves him. She puts him into the 'Medical Scanner'.... right now 'Brace yourselves, for the next bit... suspend ALL reality'. He has died, Stone Cold Dead... Gone, Deceased an 'Ex Parrot', you get the idea.... The girl 'Overrides' ALL the Safetly Protocols- and has the Machine perform 'Muliple' Procedures.... Heart Shocks, Injections- into arms, legs and torso.... Nothing.... She repeats ALL of these.... The man starts to Breath again.

There is no Brain Damage, from lack of Oxygen- no Broken Bones- either from the initial Incident, or from the Rescue.... indeed there are NO Lasting effects at ALL!

All the Ships Systems are, by now, Fully Restored..... and they both live 'Happily Ever After', even leaving a recorded 'message', for the 'Awkening Crew'.

How SWEET.... What a load of, quite entertaining, RUBBISH!

I might 'regret' Staying Up, this late, in the morning but, for now, I'm still Chuckling😊.
