The Friday Movie Mavens and The Travelling Toe hit the local multiplex to see the sci-fi movie "Passengers".  

This movie is about long term space travel and what can happen while you are sleeping in suspended animation, awaiting to be awoken many years in the future to homestead on a new planet. However, Jim a passenger on the spaceship "Avalon", accidentally wakes up early.  It takes a while for him to come to gripes with his situation.  But he takes advantage of all the privileges that the spaceship offers, including the bar. There he finds Arthur an android bartender who provides a listening ear and words of wisdom - or are they?  After over a year alone on the spaceship another passenger, Aurora, wakes up. Jim helps Aurora adapt to the new norm and they form a close relationship and eventually fall in love with each other. But Jim is hiding a secret and if he tells Aurora she can never forgive him. Little by little the spaceship starts to malfunction and Jim is unable to locate the problem.  By chance a crew member, Gus Mancuso, accidentally wakes up  and he helps Jim determine the cause of the problem.  But can Jim fix the malfunction in time to save Aurora, the space ship, the passengers and crew members? Well, Dear Readers, you will just have to see this movie yourself to find out.

The Travelling Toe must admit that Michael Sheen as the android bartender was delightful!
