Antje Traue, Ben Foster, Cam Gigandet, Cung Le, Dennis Quaid

Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It's pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the ship....( read more  read more... ) They can't remember anything. Who are they? What is their mission? With Lt. Payton staying behind to guide him via radio transmitter, Cpl. Bower ventures deep into the ship and begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft's shocking, deadly secrets are revealed, and the astronauts find their own survival is more important than they could ever have imagined.

    It wasn't as freakishly awful as I expected it to be, and guilty to admit it, I actually kinda enjoyed it. I found myself screaming at the characters to run for dear life many times throughout it.

    But let's face it: it's a pretty bad movie. The plot we've witness a gazillion ti...( read more)mes before, and the performances are pretty...lame. Except Ben Foster that is. Ben Foster can be cast as a chicken, and he'll still do a fine damn job at it. Dennis Quaid and Cam Gigandet were purely awful.

    A fun movie to chew pop-corn watching, but no life alterations will occur if you see it!

    I watched this movie because I think Ben Foster is a major talent. And this movie proves it again. It's a fairly bad movie but you can see Foster improvising his way through it, trying to make something of the nonsense he's given to work with. He adds a sense of humor to the proc...( read more)eedings by almost mocking his own dialog. He whispers a lot too. I suppose he's hoping maybe no one will be able to hear some of the lines he has to deliver. So it is entertaining on that level. The rest of it is garbage. These creatures they encounter, the ones that can run faster than humans and are "stronger than you know", well, the humans outrun them throughout the whole movie, sort of like the way Mark Wahlberg outran the wind in "The Happening", and they beat them in some fights. And Yo! the director uses silly camera tricks to cover up ridiculously written and choreographed scenes. Movie bad, Ben Foster good.

    It starts off brilliantly!

    But after those first 12 seconds, you start to realize you're about to waste 107.88 precious minutes of your life with a pathetic form of self-torture.

    Which you do.

    The plot holes and cliches are more shocking than Reese Witherspoon's chin.

    And no, 1.5 stars doesn't mean that there's actually anything good or new about it.

    I'm just feeling friendly today.

    Pandorum is a movie that takes place in a distant future; when mankind has exhausted its time on a single planet and vowed to conquer the rest of the universe with its advanced technology. This movie takes that concept and flings you right in the middle of a mysterious series of ...( read more)events that begin to unfold from the film's very first scene.

    As an astronaut wakes up from cryogenic slumber, his world is turned upside down when his memory begins to fail him as to who he is and what he's doing there. As it turns out, he has been asleep for quite some time and is on a rotating schedule with other crew members to man the mission to a far-off world over extended periods of time (the years it would take to reach the final destination.) Well, low and behold, nobody is around to greet him and things start to get nasty from that point on.

    As the man tries to cope readjusting, he comes across a commander who seems to be going through the same delirious side effects of a mental condition known as--you guessed it--pandorum. If the crew members can stave off the ffects of this degenerative condition and stay alive long enough to seek the truth of their mission, they will be more than okay. Oh yeah, and did I mention that something is on the ship--impeding their happy-go-lucky way to finish their task. Something nasty has mutated and is now hunting them down.

    The movie is pretty sleek in visual aesthetic for being an "indie" with a meager budget. The cast, including Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster is not stellar--but the actors do a fine job at maintaining a sense of gravitas in a genre flick that could have become very stale. A decent script is probably the reason why the film really never fell flat.

    Stylistically, the film portrays a far-future so interesting--even though the entire movie takes place aboard the one ship. It is in classic sci-fi fashion (like its predecessors Alien and 2001: A Space Odyssey) that Pandorum takes the vastness of space and makes you feel confined and claustrophobic. It is with these techniques and a visual flare that the movie rises above its deficiencies.

    With a bunch of cool lighting effects (black lights and neon) the movie gains its visual signature and stands out as a cool-looking flick. The monsters that linger within the ships bowels are strikingly reminiscent of those in the spelunker's nightmare, The Descent. Only these guys are equiped with bad-ass laser guns.

    Overall, the movie is worthy of being seen...preferrably in theaters; but otherwise watch it on a big screen.

    Pandorum was a huge disappointment to me. I knew nothing about the film, and foolishly took that as a promising factor. It turned out to be very irritating and painfully dull. The film revolves around Ben Foster running around a ship, and Dennis Quaid sitting in a chair doing NOT...( read more)HING. Quaid is the equivalent to some computer game character that always calls you up with your next mission, or a simple hint. The mutants are poorly designed, or at least, ineffective at being scary. Only a small child mutant comes close to chilling. The film is very dark, and it's hard to see anything. At first this added to the claustrophobia and uncertainty, but it soon became apparent that light wasn't coming. To add to the confusion, every time there was an attack of some kind, the cameras would shake uncontrollably, making it even harder to see. The film is slow and has been done better else where.

    An amalgamation of several sci-fi/horrors; the premise is interesting but low on creepiness and intensity.

    Two astronauts wake up on empty broken down ship with no clue what's happening. Curious as they are, they go exploring...
    Here's the story: humans destroy the planet, look for a new one, find one, try to go there, fuck it all up. We've seen it before people, with Sunshine and Th...( read more)e Chronicles of Riddick but this one is better than most. And I have to say it again, Ben Foster is good.

    Such a thriller!
    Wow.
    Ben Foster blows my mind again.
    Mix between "Event Horizon" and "Doom".
    Creepy and bone chilling.

    The only problem i had was the ending.

    SPOILER ALERT!

    They shot up from the ocean and were right off land and the water was still so deep that the ship was ...( read more)sunken.
    Two-Thumbs Up!
