- Opening scene to the 2016 sci-fi movie Passengers in which the starship Avalon, on autopilot, carries 5258 souls in hibernation on a 120 year interplanetary journey to a colonized planet located 60 light years from Earth. The ship traverses an asteroid field 15 light years into its flight which sets up the events to follow.
The sound in the beginning captures the feel of the vast empty space perfectly
I agree. I feel that very much. It seems like scared in space (nothing around you)
Tsubasa Reservoir like a spiral, dark and infinite...where you can lost forever...
Looks like the sound of a ship in the vast ocean, beautiful...
oh man, you said it first, i was gonna type it in but i read yours.
It is crazy the music stuck in my mind
I must say it, the design of the starship Avalon is marvelous!
yep indeed , but if you look close to the film you see mistakes :
for exemple here the stars outside not "turning" 1:50"
or later in the film like gravity desactivating whereas this is centrifugal force
or the gravity turning in the elevators , should gradual to zero until the middle where the fusion should be ( and again when they repair it there is gravity :D
OR the main hall upside down , they should be attracted to the glass pannels of the "roof"
Are you referring to the rotating parts of the ship?
From what I observed, the flight cabin isn't technically rotating. Could be wrong here though
@@gregachard6375 Well maybe gravity can be controlled at the time
Too simple to be that ! :D
@@gregachard6375 It's subtle, but they did make a point to show the ship stop rotating in the scene where the gravity stopped.
Can we get more sci-fi films like this? Travelling in deep space. Living on a colony. Terraforming a planet.
Your best bet is to play games like this. Try Dead Space. And Alien Isolation.
Aren't most space movies exactly what you mentioned in your comment?
Try Prometheus
Deep space ❤️
These words Made me want to continue writing my space novel
the most magnetising opening movie scene ever... and it's definitely because of the music
Totally agree. The music is actually the first thing that stood out to me when I watched this the first time. I don't think that's ever happened to me before.
I also agree. that's why I dont get tired of watching this opening scene over and over again. The music is just perfect for an insterstellar vibe.
I think so.
The opening scene is magnetising but it's not the most magnetising opening scene ever. You probably have never heard of "Star Wars A new Hope". This one has the most magnetising opening movie scene ever.
Watch gravity when it comes to a cinema again. Craziest experience ever trust me.
I don't think I will ever get tired of re-watching this movie again and again.
What an awesome thought. I had the same feeling. I have watched it like 10 times now never bored of it once!
Especially the space music anf the ship passing by
This Interstellar n dark
Me too!!! Hahaha
I love how the ship automatically diverts power to its shield. Quite facinating spacecraft.
Yeah, we have similar failsafes in modern aircraft
And the way it starts repairing itself. The animation is so cool
It would be funny if the ship spoke in Minecraft commands.

My question is why wouldn’t it reroute itself away from the asteroid field
Also the asteroid belt is a massive collection of rocks between the rocky and gassy planets and it's impossible to avoid. The only thing the spacecraft can do is fly through it.
How did this music director compose the soundtrack so well that it fits so perfectly for space. It just makes me feel as though I'm there in that empty space and watch Avalon fly past me. Very deep feeling.
I agree. Deep space music.
The music and space scene stuck in my mind
Yes. Thomas Newman can do a thing or two.
Interstellar and this
Thomas Newman is gifted with these ethereal scores. Not just Passengers, but WALL-E and Finding Dory capture this space/deep sea atmosphere.
One of the most awesome inter-galactic spaceship or starship designs ever 👌
It's not inter- galactic it's inter-steller
This is a civil starship made for travel and leisure, not a military warship designed for combat
Grossly underrated Movie, The special effects were marvelous, The actors chemistry was on point and the story was very good. The true star of the show for me was definitely "The Avalon" itself.
I have to deduct points for a story that includes a very creepy romantic plot. I will draw from the plot of SpaceCamp (1986) where kids in a NASA space camp get to sit in the shuttle for an engine firing test. Max earlier befriends a small droid who hears Max feeling really sad that he can't actually go to space. The droid wants to make Max happy, so during the test, he deactivates the thermal curtain that protects the SRB's from igniting. NASA detects the problem and has no choice but to go for full launch or watch the shuttle with the kids and instructor blow up on the pad. Obviously they go for launch but on a vehicle that isn't mission ready and lacks a full complement of oxygen and a full comm system.
Avalon had some AI droids. He befriended the bartender, who later spilled the beans to her. The plot could have had him constantly confiding in the bartender how lonely he is, and eventually the bartender finds a way to open her pod, after doing some deep compatibility algorithms to choose her. When the deck officer wakes up, he thinks he finds evidence that the guy tampered with her pod, but later the bartender owns up to it. Still a lot of tension, but we don't have to paint the main guy as a creep.
opening scene was my favourite in any movie ever gave me ggosebumps
Yes, very cool.
Totally agree my friend. When watching it to a cool home theatre with huge bass on it. Best of goose bumps..
Music and graphic stunning man
Avalon : titanic
Jim and aurora : jack and rose
Asteroid : iceberg
7 kingdoms : avalon
Jaime and cersei : Jim and aurora
Dany and drogon : iceberg
Qué referencia.
¿Y los músicos? Además Jacobito y Rosita no podían permanecer en el Titanic toda su vida ni parchar el agujero de la nave.
The Titanic never made it to Homestead II :(
Ye true
A spaceship bringing life to new worlds, looking like a DNA (doublehelix) ... love it!
VJDanny1979 Omg, I never thought of it like that! You just discovered great symbolism.
Wow correct
Very good point indeed! But the turning elements in the Avalon ship are three not two. So that's a triple-helix.
Yes, humans going out into the universe to destroy virgin planets.
The triple helix symbolises the 3 human characters: Jennifer lawrence, Chris Pratt, and Laurence fishburnes character
Opening scene and the passing by the giant star are incredible.
yes the are but the ending is good too
@@marktakac8337 Movie sucked. Should have started with her waking up and later finding out he woke her up. Would have been more of a shock. Maybe he goes nuts after she finds out and she ends up having to kill him. Then after a few years she starts to go nuts and she opens up a pod, continuing the cycle.
@@StinkyGreenBud you should have written the screenplay
@@thelegalconversations450 that's what fanfiction is for.
@@StinkyGreenBud who cares of a shock? the story of him confused alone without anyone is more interesting than her being scared lol
I've watched this movie 3 times and every time it gave me interstellar feeling. Really loved it. Jennifer and Chris did a wonderful movie to ignite the fire in ourselves to stand up and explore the universe.
Interstellar, now that's a proper sci-fi movie
I mean if you have a telescope, you can do just that. But don't expect to be traveling at half the speed of light lol.
I watched this movie on a near empty night flight on delta with the row to myself. Made it such a better experience! I kept looking around to make sure the plane wasn't empty
Imagine hearing: This is your captain, we'll reach our destination in 90 years...
As long as Rod Serling wasn't there...
Just imagine, the programming languages that run all the ship's systems and functions have not yet been invented!
well, technically speaking you COULD do all of that whats the system does in the movie with our already existing programming languages, the thing is programming this would probably take a team of 1000 highly professional coders like 50 years or so regarding how advanced it is (i could imagine that even fixing a vacuum cleaner could have like 200 "if-this-then-that" protocolls in the movie).
it's probably more than just a programming language, the software has to be 300-400 years more advanced than today
Will be achieved through tons of machine learning and ai
If quantum computers were created soon all this will surely be applicable
@@rigilkentaurus4262 It doesn't have to be even quantum; even graphene or optical CPUs could crunch binary data far faster than modern silicon-based chips.
Definitely one of my favorite opening scenes. You can feel the vastness of space. Ship design is awesome.
Amazing soundtrack for the opening scene. Can’t imagine the movie without it.
Best opening scene history. Captures vast unknown of Space and life beautifully.
Though why they sent the ship thru an asteroid field instead of giving it the ability to steer...would have made for a duller movie. Unless, like Voyager, they got lost....
@@imho2278 duh this ship is moving near the speed of light it barely can see what's in front of it, how can it steer?
This film is fantastic. The opening and ending scenes are good. I don't know why this people's are over reacting to this film its just a movie. Overall the movie is great. I would like to thank the director to this great movie.
You are right, now when I saw the movie for the first time, I hoped that the ending will be something like two old humans are waiting for the others to wake up at the bar.
@@marktakac8337 that would be cool, I might have forgotten something why didn't they just go back to hibernation
@@TheNamesArif They was only a way for one of them to enter Hibernation again (by using the Med Bed). The other one would have been doomed to get old and finally die, without a chance or reentering Cryosleep (the "normal" Cryobeds were only able to keep the passengers in Hibernation, but not, to put them into Hibernation)
So they decided that not one of them would enter Cryosleep, because none of them wanted to live with the other anymore
😢
😢❤
Design of the starship: Perfect
Soundtrck; Perfect
This movie gives me feeling of this vas dark empty space and how a journey through to other star looks like.
Best...best... background music...it compels me to think about an unknown world n an unknown journey...
Afroja Khan agreed that music is amazing and makes me think about the vast emptiness of space only to find a massive fucking rock in your way
that's what the movie is about, I mean it's meant to bring you this types of feelings.
This is really great idea for opening the movie with this magical music and not added any vocal narration.
This scene made me no sleep the whole time..space and everything about it is interesting and much more mind blowing when humans and technology persists.
As an avid astronomy enthusiast, in both the scholarly and hobby departments, as well as having read numerous books on the subject matter, not just pertaining to factual physics but also science fiction/theoretical applications, space colonization, etc..., I can tell you that they achieved the opening spot on! Space is uncertain. It's a war-zone. Constantly changing, shifting, and pulling away. Nothing in space is ever stagnant! The Avalon is probably the best and realistic rendition of what spaceships in the future will look like. Not geometric, ie: Star Wars. That's just fantasy without applied science to back it up. But Passengers, I wholeheartedly give it two thumbs way up. It goes without saying that even the mechanics applied in the piloting and maintenance of the craft were done well. Sure, robots may one day be able to pilot them in the future as some commentators here have raised the question, but robots themselves, without a proper power source will need to be maintained in order to assure self-sufficiency. The Avalon of future Earth in this particular movie may have/function on supplemental power sources which haven't been detailed to us the viewers in maintaining its particular self-sufficiency and course trajectory to ensure the mission will endure the entirety of its 120 year course. I'm talking about harnessing dark matter/energy as a backup to the main propulsion drive. Or feeder generator whose conducting capabilities are beyond our understanding at present moment. At half the speed of light, roughly about 93,250 miles per second, which is mentioned in the movie, I highly doubt that conventional power sources would be able to help propel the Avalon enough to aid it in attaining this velocity.
I really love the details, especially the plasma injected over a magnetic field to superheat debris into plasma and deflect it magnetically. It feels like something we could actually do with modern technology. The gravity is a bit problematic, but it places it within the realm of our best possible solutions right now. Fusion generators are just out of reach for us, and we might be looking at some sort of advanced ion propulsion or nuclear rocket engines. I love how the command bridge rotates faster than the habitat to maintain the same gravity, as it is closer to the rotational axis. This to me explains the rotation of the overall ship slowing due to loss of power, as the faster rotation of the bridge would act against the overall rotation of the ship. The engines themselves would need to drive the main rotation, while the bridge rotation would be driven by motors. Loss of engines =/= loss of all power, and the bridge motors could have ran for some time, bringing the effect of gravity down really fast. Not sure how gravity was supposed to work in the engineering section though.
I really liked this movie because of the unique and modern score by Thomas Newman. His much unique style of music brought a freshness I could feel with every note. The visuals were also amazing, making the entire film a beautiful experience. From a soundscape perspective, it's a masterpiece of modern scoring.
You know this scene reminded me of Cameron's Titanic movie, when you compare the evolution of machines. In Titanic we see lots of men running around Because they have to get around the iceberg as quickly as possible, with music that makes us stress. In the Avalon, there's no one, just the AI against the nature and the peaceful music
Thanks for posting this. Loved the opening scene.
this is the beautifull part of this movie
Some guys were talking about the speed of Avalon and that we shouldn't be able to see it because it would be going at half the speed of light, but they can't even think at the fact that it's a movie so technically cameras are also moving at that speed. And if it wasn't a movie, who would be there to film a spacecraft.
Well said!
This intro gets me every time, like so I wanna watch the movie again and again 😅
Everytime I can't sleep I play this movie. I go to sleep just after this breath taking opening scene.. Placing my mind in space :3
Superbly imagined deep space flight and attention to detail. The MIlky Way would be huge and vivid like that, making it clear we are inside a huge galaxy.
1:22 this flute just takes me mentally to another dimension pure goosebumps
It is Definitely One of most beautiful spaceships ever🖒
Absolutely incredible design.
The sound is just feeling all alone. And um........ speechless😔..............
One of the best openings in a sci-fi movie yet.
Alien (1979) will ALWAYS be #1.
The best scene for me by far......watching Avalon cruise in space like that was so beautiful
Only one scifi opening has catched me so much like this one: Oblivion. But here you can feel the big empty lonyless in space from the first second. Later in the movie, when he is on spacewalk again. A great movie, perhapse some minor critical points, but overall a good movie, the actors play very good - you believe them their feelings and love (fun fact: they wasnt llike each other I mean to be heard). And the fantastic music. The best moment in the opening: after the "crash" when the glass vibrations are lowering and you know now: oh! Something happened but dont know exactly what, but you know there is something wrong.
Can we thank enough the composer of this masterpiece, Mr Thomas Newman for immersing us in the deep space from minute one?
The music really draws you in and makes the perilousness of the journey that much more compelling.
Love that music when the starship passes by!
I saw this intro a hundred times, is this normal?
GamleErik100 U rih but u can also see in the clips that the ship literally trajected itself RUGHT TOWARDS GHE DAMN ASTROID
I watch everyday just this scene to getting a goosebumps. İts totaly normal
Glad to hear that my friend!
Me too I did
Yeah it's normal me too🗣️haha
I LOVED this movie :-)
I rarely felt this, but back then when i first saw this movie, this 4 minute opening was enought to hook me up. i know many ppl dont like this movie, and i honestly dont know why, their reason is meaningless to me, because i loved all of it.
Not all sci-fi needs lasers and pew pew.
I never see other opening like this,for me its the best opening for a movie ever
This initial scene is so amazing the music is just awesome
This was awesome in the theater! I was blown away by this movie! Couldn’t stop talking about it. Btw, The Pelican Brief also has good opening music.
Damnit. I wished I had seen this in theaters! Just being able to watch this marvelous opening sequence on a big screen would have been worth the price of admission alone. It is by far one of my favorite - if not thee favorite - opening scenes from any sci-fi movie that I can ever recall watching, and I've seen quite a few. The movie itself on the other hand - from a critics standpoint - was slightly mediocre with many filmic cliches and elements that can't hold up to scientific scrutiny. But overall, it was enjoyable enough to get through in its entirety without wanting skip scenes or turn off the tv, which is a surprise because I wasn't expecting very much from a J-LAW flick.
I can assure you, watching this on the big screen was one of the most awesome thing I've seen in cinema.
It was incredible! I saw it twice in the theater.
here folks is one great example of how soundtrack can build up feelings the director wants their audience to catch
this gives me goosebumps every. single. time.
The crucial importance of music and sound design to create a scifi ambience and define the movie’s eerie atmosphere. Taking a page directly from Scott’s Alien opening. Stunning 👌🏼
Love that soundtrack😍
This scene is our future
This is the most epic scene in a movie if ever seen.
Best space science fiction movies for ever
Imagine arriving at your destination 120 years after leaving only to find out another crew who left 70 years after you got there first because in 70 years, the technology has advance like bi-planes in the 1910's to F-14's in 1980 or Dreadnoughts in 1910 to Ohio Class Ballistic Missile subs in 1980.
Indeed that's the whole idea behind the "Wait" dilemma in interstellar travel. Though a deleted scene mentions Gus has done this trip 5 times previously. So perhaps humanity hit a brick wall in speed limiting them to %50 light speed safely lasting at least 600 years assuming 120 years for each trip.
@@Lorddesructo didn't even put two and two together that Gus is likely 600+ years old
That music is just mesmerising tempting to get lost in space
& That rotating spaceship with front powerful shield is something else😇
goosebumps all over my body ..so impressed what mankind is able to think..to achieve
MrTepas1 totally after when Avalon passing by especially what a huge bass impact on speakers
I was totally enthralled by this movie,..🍿
The Sony/Colombia logo works so well with the score too!
1:22 BGM🔥
Goosebumps start
This opening scene makes us watch the whole movie..
the opening scene alone makes it a better movie than disney's star farce.
Star warts.
There is so much to love about this opening scene
Finally a movie that portrays a spaceship in the darkness of interstellar space. In Star Trek, they are always brightly lit up by a nearby star, even when it makes no sense
I love movie Passengers
The most powerful and kicking opening five minutes I have ever seen. Amazing!
When AI saves your ass. Like TARS in Intersetellar
Very good reference !
When Hal goes off the Richter, best to run towards the monolith
There should be a crew rotation for at least once every five years to prevent this kind of incident. Just wake up a dozen for couple of days to make sure everything is good.
As a engineer my self the ship is one of the things i really love about this movie.. its such a well engineered ship.. its a shame that a small fragment from the large asteroid collision hit such a critical computer so it does make sense as to why the problem was not found for a good while as the ship would not of even known its self. Thing is Jim should of started investigating as soon the first malfunctions started happening. Because As the chief deck officer said its very very rare for issues like that to happen especially the hibernation pod failure.
The problem was, Jim couldn't access the important parts of the ship...
@@eliaspeter7689 If you bothered to actually read the post then you will know why what i said made since.. THEY DID get in the command module and they still couldnt find out what actually caused the problem. Jim was able to check out engineering he just couldnt access the main hub. But as they mentioned in the film the ship is so huge that it can take a while to find out what was wrong if the the diagnostic system failed.. .
The designers never expected a failure of the diagnostic system. Go back to the movie "Alien". While we later learned that it was pre-programmed to do so, the first thing that MU-TH-UR did was to wake up the crew upon receiving the beacon signal. I would think that the Avalon AI would have been programmed with an event list that would have woken the Captain and the Engineers. If not for serendipity then no one would have been awakened. Why didn't Gus wake them up as soon as possible?
A few things that bothered me about the ship is that there was no cryo facility at all, and no AI protocol to wake the command crew if an emergency could not be resolved by the AI. You could wake the crew, have them solve the problem, and then use the cryo facility to go back to sleep. You aren't waking 5,000 people. The medical bed could put someone in cryo, yet there was only one. So why couldn't all the crew have a specialized cryo pod that could do the same funcion?
And why was there not a contingency plan in case there was an unexpected cryo failure? A way for a passenger to call for help/wake the crew? There was nothing in place for this even small chance occurrence.
Love the navigational deflector though. Appears to be superheated plasma injected ahead of a powerful magnetic field. Matter colliding with the shield is superheated into plasma and diverted magnetically.
But what about cosmic rays? I wonder what kind of hull construction and/or radiation shielding is used?
CHILLS ........ what a great movie, with great actors, and great music
we would have had this starship exist today if it wasn't for all these wars and nonsense humans have gone through
The sound effects always bring me back, watched this like 10,000 and I still keep watching this scene
I just love this part.
One of the BEST films I have seen in years
Every year i must at least watch this video 5 times just to get by . I mean the soundtrack , the starship Avalon, the graphics that protective shield i mean who would have thought about something like that or the auto-pilot, the story behind it is fucking epic , just God damn ,it's beyond perfection ,you can't even critic a single thing .
Everything you say is true but still people who what's to hate on it always finds something that's wrong with the movie.
@@allistancooper1502 That is why I only tend to listen to myself and ignore the noise. It's like when someone saves the world, but a man dies in the process. Some people only see what they want to see. As such, from their perspective he failed.
@@ElyesBoudhina Exactly.
This movie was suprisingly very good, got me thinking about it for a bit after i finished it
Love this movie😍
I love the bowshock style shield.
If only the rest of the film had been this well done.
Mas o filme foi bem feito, só não é possível agradar á todo fã que não intende oque cada coisa quer dizer.
It was. The film is beautiful.
Para quem gosta de ciência, oque mais impressionou e emocionou foi á nave e o escudo de átomo ou Escudo de bohr
Apoligies, should have said the if only the story was as well done as this opening sequence
I like how they tell a story with a Graphic User Interface.
@1:23 when the flute started or whatever tht is, creeps me out a little 😂😂😂😂
Newman's score (especially in this scene) owes a lot to the rolling ostinato style of Phillip Glass in his works like Akhnaten. Newman does a masterful job here and it's mesmerising.
That ship is so good, I can't imagine the time it took to build it (I mean to build it in the real life). There will be probably thousands of launches to build that ship in real life, also the AI is dumb but I really like Arthur (It is that android). The engine is pretty futuristic, I mean I know that the story of the movie is based on the year 2300 or whatever but still this ion engine (I'm not sure if it's ion) is amazing.
That sound which is start at the beginning is really awesome.....
The best music and movie i love this movie
ship design is so realistic that it is not possible not to admire
Love this scene
One problem I had with this movie: Gus says that they're traveling at about .5c (half the speed of light). However, they're obviously not going anywhere near that fast, relative to those asteroids.
Am I the only one who would love to go on a journey like this?
Leslie Castiel No my friend,I ‘d love to be a VIP passenger on the avalon...to sleep on the Viena suite and to swim on the pool 😍 and to dinner french food and wine ❤️❤️❤️
Yafat Onan Same just think of the many possibilities you could achieve with this beautiful journey.
I love this clip. Need more space scenes with awesome ships like this.
1:00 to 1:30 I feel like I am going on a endless journey to a new world!!!
Heart touching music 🎶🎶🎶
1:19 So eerie and creepy...
Imagine yourself in the middle of the universe and the thought of not reaching anywhere even at the speed of light. The vastness is scary
un film bellissimo ❤❤🔥🔥💋💋🌸🌸🌹🌹
I love this music 🎶
Музыка просто идеально подобрана. Одинокий корабль в такой огромной вселенной.
Best music I hv ever experience..
