Controversial reviews/Issues Here is an article I found on an issue picked up by critiques : https://filmschoolrejects.com/make-passengers-great-again-58b5593179f9#.yl59dv3y4 The article as a summary explains how Chriss Pratt’s character could come across as “rapey”. “I tend to align with the latter. I do so because it is a rapey pile of garbage — Chris Pratt’s character wakes the woman he’s been stalking from hibernation so she can die — with him —  on a spaceship. There’s almost no point arguing ethics, because the story itself barely does. The movie that surrounds that pivotal, and for some reason vital, plot device is a love story —  a story of survival. And by the end, well, it’s OK that Pratt’s character woke her up because they like each other! Good thing that guy knew what was best, huh?”
