   I think it's an example of something that works   
   as a genre movie but not necessarily as   
   mainstream.  Kind of the opposite of "The Road",   
   which won a Pulitzer but comes across to me as a   
   poorly conceived sidequest mod for Fallout.   
      
   Most years I'd say that Passengers had a good   
   shot at a Hugo, but this year there's some   
   pretty tough competition in that category.
