Passengers (2016)
Chris Pratt awakens 90 years too early from induced hibernation on a transport ship to a new colony planet. After quickly getting bored with Michael Sheen's android bar man he stupidly wakes Jennifer Lawrence because he fancies her.
Stunning to look at sci-fi epic that remains interesting for about forty minutes and then realises that with just two human characters there's not an awful lot to do with them once they've shagged and bickered a lot.
At almost two hours this is far too long i'm afraid, since essentially bugger all happens and the actual threat to life on the passenger ship is just a damaged computer module. It really is as exciting as it sounds and the whole thing is a huge anti climax.
