10 Bad Movies That Wasted Great CGI

Starring two of Hollywood's biggest stars, Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, Passengers is yet another lesson that shiny production design and star power alone does not equate quality storytelling.

Set on a spacecraft en route to transporting thousands of passengers to their new life on a distant colony planet, a freak accident sees one unlucky voyager, Jim Preston (Pratt), woken from his hibernation 90 years too early. Some time after living an isolated existence on the ship with his only companion being an android named Arthur (Charlie Sheen), Jim makes the decision to wake up Aurora (Lawrence), a passenger he formed an infatuation with during his year of solitude.

Earning itself Oscar nominations for its original score and fabulous production design that gave the spacecraft a slick, futuristic aesthetic, Passengers' glossy visuals and commendable performances by Lawrence and Pratt weren't enough to save it from its own disastrous script.

Stuck in production hell for the best part of a decade, the end result of what should have been Castaway in space ultimately boiled down to various ideas being stuck together, resulting in a tonally-confused and hollow experience for both mainstream audiences and critics alike.
