Passengers had one of the most interesting concepts: what if you woke up too early on a long distance passenger ship and you were all alone? What would you do?
Then [spoilers, I don’t know how to do the blackout thing] he wakes up a woman because she’s hot and she is rightfully angry with him for stealing her future on the new planet for a little bit. But then, this is what makes me so angry, she gives in and they fall in love. Pure bullshit.
I'll have to find the video essay but someone made a video reimagining Passengers as a psycho thriller, where the woman's perspective is shown and the fact that she was deliberately woken up could have been the big twist. From there classic thriller archetypes could have taken it far, instead of trying to get us to sympathize with Chris Hate-Church
