It has a good cast and plenty of outer space claustrophobia and dementia. It did seem a bit derivative at times but it was always entertaining.

Critics really are gutless sometimes. It's possible not to like this movie, but it's crazy to dismiss it as a movie nobody will like.

It's possible not to like this movie, but it's crazy to dismiss it as a movie nobody will like. It has its flaws and is a bit confusing to follow at times, but it's not unusually derivative, any more than every romantic comedy is derivative or every biopic is derivative. This is an end of the world scenario that mixes in both hard and soft sci-fi and explores worst-case scenarios and mental illness that might exist on a 100-year-plus voyage to another world. If that sounds like subject matter that interests you, you'll appreciate this movie, though you may find stretches a bit dark and dialogue a bit murky at times.… Expand

I'm somewhat surprised to see a really, really bad review for this movie by the Critics. Maybe 50%, but not as low as 28%. It's like Equilibrium; there's great potential. Don't take this movie as a professional, I'm somewhat surprised to see a really, really bad review for this movie by the Critics. Maybe 50%, but not as low as 28%. It's like Equilibrium; there's great potential. Don't take this movie as a professional, high-budgeted movie. I will say that this movie would be enjoyable to certain types of people, and based on User Reviews, majority say it's pretty good. If you like survival horror, then this movie might just be for you! Also might be enjoyed by sci-fi fans. And for those Xbox360/PS3 gamers who have Dead Space, this movie is like that (I've noticed that someone else in the User Review mentioned the game too!), but with less shooting and more running away, trying to survive, from man-eating humans. Yes, the main characters are being chased by....humans, or more like humans who evolved to survive inside the ship. I would like to mention for those who can withstand watching horror movies and games, it is not very scary, but more suspenseful, more "on-the-edge-of-your-seat" type of movie. So I hope if you do watch it, you love survival and not looking for hardcore horror. I guess it's just how I am, but I like the feeling when the characters have no clue where they are, what they are supposed to do, and they're stuck, trying to figure what is going on, like the game Myst. Yes, it does take patience to finally know the whole scenario. But I liked the plot. Here's a small summary about the movie (I'll try not to spoil) : The main character, Bower, and his Lt., Payton, are awakened in their space ship. After awakening from hypersleep (a long hibernation), they realized the Flight Crew # 5 was not there to greet them (Bower and Payton are Flight Crew # 6, I believe). Flight Crews rotate command of the ship. All non-active flight crew members go back to hypersleep. Bower and Payton became suspicious after realizing that the ship seems to be having problems, especially with the power supply. There was no response from the bridge (command center/navigations/cockpit) and from Flight Crew # 5 (who were supposed to greet Bower and Payton), and thus must investigate what is going on. On Bower's way to the source of the ship's power supply, he discovers these weird humanoids, and they are definitely hostile creatures. From there, he must try to stay alive, while figuring out what happened. He meets a few other survivors, and will sometimes recall some memories that he forgotten (due to temporary amnesia from hypersleep) which will reveal why he was part of the flight crew, why the ship was built, and where the ship was heading (it's main objective of voyage). Though survival horror movies have had a very common storyline (Main character must figure where he/she is, main character must survive, main character kills some enemies, main character is the only survivor, The End.), it is unique compared to others that I watched. I don't know, just give it a try and watch it! … Expand

The directing was great; the close up shaking shots might not be the best for aesthetic purposes, but they are perfect for emulating what a person would see and feel in each situation they were in. Locked in hypersleep for years with memory loss when waking and finding your ship is deserted with ravenous monsters trying to eat you in pitch black corridors.. What do you think you would see while running in fear for your life with your adrenaline pumping at max?? A nice slow and steady camera pan? Sometimes critics are complete morons.… Expand

There are enough things wrong with the film to get you distracted if you want it to, but there is a pleasant mix of great things, that will make this film a classic. The movie is very reflective of the last 20 years of sci-fi, drawing inspiration from classic films but also with a strong computer gaming influence. It is far more subtle than your Hollywood film and is much more raw and independent in feel, and that's what makes classics. Like all great sci-fi, this film does not overwhelm you with technology and science, but draws you to a story about people and their circumstance. I will not be surprised if this film stands the test of time and each year grows a wider appreciative audience.… Expand

What's more, it wasn't predictable at all. Most movies these days, I can literally see Every Single Thing coming a mile away. I usually predict every twist before it happens, because movies these days don't think outside the box. This movie was intuitive and had a story that hadn't ever been done before quite this way, and because of the way the characters acted throughout the movie, you couldn't tell what was going to happen next. Usually you see very obvious cues that lead you to think "oh this is about to happen" or "oh he's definitely the bad guy because X, Y, and Z", but this didn't do that at all, yet everything still made sense when you saw it happen. Critics that gave this any less than a 7 either expect 100m worth of special effects and give a movie bad reviews if they don't have that these days, or they're just paid off, because there's no way the homogenized crap that is a modern marvel movie gets above a 65 while this gets a #$%^ing 28.… Expand

The story of Pandorum focuses on the crew of a sleeper ship called the Elysium and it's inevitable journey through space to their destination, the planet Tanis, which is supposed to be another Earth-like planet. From the beginning of theThe story of Pandorum focuses on the crew of a sleeper ship called the Elysium and it's inevitable journey through space to their destination, the planet Tanis, which is supposed to be another Earth-like planet. From the beginning of the movie it had me interested, as it tends to keep things very vague, dropping tiny bits of clues as to what is going on. It starts with Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) who wakes from suspended animation and finds that he cannot remember much, if anything, about what is going or where they are. The story takes him on a journey through the ship as he attempts to uncover what is going on aboard the Elysium. Although I do see many strong resemblances or homage's to a slew of other movies, I don't feel the criticism aimed at it is deserved. The flavor of Alien/s and Event Horizon come to mind, but from what I gather the similarities are more superficial than anything else. The cast is pretty decent, with Foster giving a solid and realistic performance in his role. Denis Quaid manages to convey his character of Lieutenant Payton effectively, giving a good performance as well, but really starts to shine towards the end of the movie. The token girl/love interest Nadia, played by Antje Traue, is sometimes shaky in regards to her delivery, but does manage to convincingly play her role as the toughened scientist. She manages to fight well, while not looking like a wafer-thin model like in some movies (cough, cough Resident Evil), and I find that a very good thing. I'm pretty tired of that stereotype and its actually more attractive in my view. Plus shes nice to look at. Anyway the only real character I tended to wince at was Norman Reeduss's Shepard. I dont know if they wanted him to play it that way, but he seemed a bit overdone, but hey, maybe thats what was asked of him or how he wanted to do it. Either way it seemed the least genuine for me. Overall I loved the ambiance of the movie and the pretty realistic actions and reactions of the lead cast to the events that transpire aboard the Elysium. The movie held my interest well, aside from a few hiccups here and there. One of those was some of the B-movie like techniques they used for the action scenes, which to me kind of detracted from the horror of it all. Some scenes seem a little too sped up, while others may have relied on a bit too much slow motion, but all in all the movie has a certain style that appealed to me. It aint Shakespeare, but then again, its not trying to be. Definitely worth a look.â… Expand

This is just one of those weird movies where they spend three quarters of it in dim lit corridor running from noises. It really is tedious. Play Dead Space instead, at least you'll see whats going on.

The point of the film was to be a terrifying, atmospheric science fiction horror, that's what I went in expecting, and that's what I got, and I couldn't be happier. The film is full of visual subtlety, lots of cool looking dark scenes, and best of all genuinely scary cool looking monsters. There are some moments in this film that have been burned into my memory, because they were so disturbing, and original. The ending is also a really awesome surprise, which is always awesome to have in a movie. Kind of reminds me of a big budget version of a really good Outer Limits episode.… Expand

Critics need to be fired. They watched a different film or think sci-fi is only about special effects. This is a very good film, with a solid, coherent story that develops in a steady pace and makes up for the lack of expensive effects.

This movie cameRelies mostly (and with good reason) on the creepy and claustrophobic atmosphere of the scenery, a quite dark huge spaceship that is infested by cannibals, which are basically the mutated human cargo. Acting is quite solid. This movie came as a surprise, as it wasn't announced properly, like with those big campaigns of today (there was some bancruptcy involved). The 28% critic's rating isn't deserved, since production values are quite good. Another case of a big difference between critic's and audience's opinion. If it wouldn't have this amount of hysterical undertone, it would be quite watchable, though Dennis Quade does deliver his character's insanity quite well. It's always good for a rewatch on DVD, when there is a need for a not overly rethought script, but a gripping sci-fi environment. And if a movie is able to suck one in, it doesn't fail, which should be honored (which it wasn't). I call it a nasty little SciFi-horror-flick.… Expand

Have to admit that very few scenes felt like I already watched them but the execution is good, so I don't complain. It does a lot of things right. Does not fall into explaining for hours. Has psychological suspense and action in it, both balanced out for the most part.

The only thing that fell a little flat is to create memorable characters with some edge or backstory, that part was a tiny bit floaty. But the lack of it fits the narrative very well, so it isn't really a drawback. Just made harder to root for the people involved.

All in all a very enjoyable watch. For anyone who liked Alien, this will please them well.… Expand

Although Quaid eventually does interact with the sci-fi tropes, the B-movie thrills, his sequestering for much of the film's running time smacks of a concession made by the filmmaker. And this is the message sent: "Pandorum" is not worthy enough, intuits the moviegoer, for its A-lister to grab a glow-in-the-dark stick(as his co-star Ben Foster does), and be hunted by a race of bald, cannibalistic mutants like a good sport. Since there's nobody to window-dress the fight sequences, and lend some gravitas to the small group's search for Elysium survivors(in which crawling over a bodied sea of bald, cannibalistic mutants is required), "Pandorum" often looks and feels like a straight-to-Blockbuster production. Amid the ghosts of Ridley Scott and James Cameron that this none-too-original movie defiles, exists a more cerebral brand of science fiction alongside all the interspecies fighting. Late in the film, Quaid finally gets to do more than bark instructions into a radio, when his character(Payton) is joined by another survivor(Gallo, played by Cam Gigandet) in the ship captain's cheese-resistant niche, where their heated exchanges prove to be a much better fit for the film's modest budget.… Expand

Pandorum is one of the best psycho-horror movies I've seen in a long time. The feelings of intense claustrophobia combined with the gothic corridors of the metallurgic spacecraft set the stage perfectly for horror. Ben Foster is perfect and even Dennis Quaid looks like he knows what he's doing. The only complaints I can understand is how derivative certain aspects are (such as its monsters) to which I can only say you're not seeing the forest for the trees. At least in this film I can sense that "thrill of the hunt" the monsters seem to have which in most other movies comes off cheesy; here I actually can feel some adrenaline pumping.

The My boyfriend got this on DVD yesterday but I was reluctant to watch it because a quick wiki showed it got generally unfavourable reviews. I seriously don't know why and so much so that I've actually logged in to say as much. The only gripe I have with it is that the text at the start is difficult to read and I did feel there were a couple of logic flaws (e.g. the survivor knowing the whole story about what had happened and why some had evolved more than others, etc., etc.) but nothing serious and all that was probably needed was maybe doing a little more visual information to tie it all together. Other than that, I thought the acting was outstanding, the characters really engaging, special effects fantastic. Totally engrossing story from beginning to end. It's clearly been written by someone who really understands suspense and keeping a viewer hooked and the director does more than an outstanding job at tying together quite a lot of very difficult elements. Please ignore the critics on this and give it a try. A seriously great film and one I'll rank as one of the best SF horrors I've ever seen. Excellent, excellent film. Don't miss it.… Expand
