Just like with the Titanic, it’s posited that the sleek Avalon is impenetrable, that nothing can go wrong with the pods, with none of its passengers waking up early and trapped on the giant ship, doomed to grow old before arriving at the scheduled destination lightyears away.Īt the beginning of the movie all passengers are in cryo sleep, until one of the hibernation pods malfunctions. It’s a 120-year journey, one which will bring them to the remote colony planet Homestead II in another galaxy.ĭo you remember how they said the Titanic was unsinkable? That its water tight compartments would never give way, even if the ship hit an iceberg? The same kind of hubris is cleverly worked into the plot of Morten Tyldum’s sci-fi movie Passengers. His latest movie Passengers is set in the future, on the Starship Avalon which holds 5,000 hibernating colonists and 258 crew members. He received many awards for his war drama about the British mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing, who broke the German Enigma code during World War 2. Morten Tyldum became famous in Hollywood in 2014 through his movie The Imitation Game. The Norwegian director Morten Tyldum directed the production with a budget of over 150 million Euro, the highest production budget ever for an original film. Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt play the lead characters in the original science fiction movie Passengers from Sony Pictures.
