25 Biggest WTF Moments From 2016 Movies

6. Creepy Chris Pratt - Passengers

Passengers wants to believe it's a sci-fi romance about two people woken up early from stasis and falling in love as the only conscious members of the ship.

What the trailers don't tell you is that Jim (Chris Pratt) is the only one woken up by a malfunction, and due to crushing loneliness, he eventually wakes up Aurora (Jennifer Lawrence) by sabotaging her machine.

The two then bond and fall for one another (you know, because of "the implication"), and naturally, she eventually finds out, angry that Jim has essentially stolen her life away. Later when Jim's life is in danger, however, Aurora forgives him, and even when one of the pods is fixed, she decides to live out her days with Jim instead.

The whole psychology of Lawrence's character is incredibly troubling, basically playing out like a victim of Stockholm Syndrome, where she's mentally beaten into submission and manipulated into loving the very man who stole her future away. It's insanely creepy and crazy that nobody ever brought this up before shooting started.
