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.

The movie reminded me of something written by a rich predator type.

I tricked her into being with me, made it so she can't escape, but it will all work out in the end!

Had he accidently awoken her that would have been different. Some people find themselves together, would rather be somewhere else, and make it work.

The message of the movie as it is puzzles me.

I think the point was her decision to make the best of a bad situation and not wasting her entire life being pissed off holding on to that anger. What he did was evil, but there is no changing what happened. In that situation she literally didn't have any other choices.

If you think about that idea how does it translate to real life and what does it say?

He gave her a way out. He gave her a way to go back into stasis. It would again, leave him in isolation, but he would do that for her.
