Passengers and The Cold Equations

I went to see the new movie Passengers last night. I think this movie will go down as the modern version of "The Cold Equations." In both those stories, thanks to massive authorial manipulation, a man and a "girl" (alas, apt in both cases) are faced with life-or-death situations and great moral problems. Neither of them solve their problems in entirely likable ways.
