Summary. Passengers ending faced controversy over moral implications of Jim's actions towards Aurora, lacking examination of consent and accountability. Critics viewed Passengers as a wish-fulfillment fantasy with disappointing execution, morphing into horror with unsatisfying resolution.

But in the process, Jim has been pushed out into space and his tether to the ship breaks. Aurora rushes to save him but is not able to reach him in time. She can, however, reach his broken tether and is able to pull his body back to the ship. She discovers she is too late: With a fractured space suit, Jim has died.

The ending of Passengers is indeed enigmatic. In the finale, after a series of intense events and meddling with the ship's systems, Jim and Aurora manage to save themselves and the other sleeping passengers. They decide to stay on the Avalon together instead of returning to their original destination.

Critics Reviews Passengers takes what could have been an interesting debate about consent and glosses it over with cheesy romance and problematic sex. Content collapsed. The film's greatest sin is its intrinsic dullness.
