Care to elaborate? I understand that most people love this script. But the prat falls and queesy ethics turned me off big time.

I'm down for dark comedy. Hell, THE VOICES is probably my favorite movie of the year. But the film never inspects the ethics of the protagonist AND it totally disregards its own SciFi rules, even as it namechecks Arthur C. Clarke.

How is it dumb of me to point this out?

V: Michael Sheen Joins Passengers [PSSNG] Oleg Max Jul 17, 11:45

He is playing Arthur, the charming robotic bartender. One of the best parts of the middling script. {nm} tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 11:48

Middling script leads to mediocre movie? {nm} lesana Jul 17, 11:56

Long Story Short: Chris Pratt's character is ethically repulsive and the script plays with hard SciFi, then abandons internal logic. {nm} tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 12:04

Lol you're an idiot. Sorry, but that assessment deserves to be called out. {nm} doitdoitdoitnow Jul 17, 12:47

That sounds different from the draft I read. tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 19:24

Has anyone else read this? Can you explain to me why it's considered a hot property and not just creepy and gross? tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 12:02

It was even more creepy when it was Keane Reeves waking Reece Witherspoon {nm} RazorHawk Jul 17, 12:17

Auto correct shut up... you get it wrong everytime {nm} RazorHawk Jul 17, 12:18

Heh - reverse Matrix. {nm} RogerMore Jul 17, 12:19

Scrubbed for spoilers? {nm} tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 13:09

Yes, that read like a massivev spoiler that completely changes one's sympathy for the character. {nm} Antibody Jul 17, 13:42

Understood. Apologies. To anyone who saw the previous post THAT IS NOT THE PLOT OF THE MOVIE. tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 13:50

That's good to know. {nm} Antibody Jul 17, 14:46
