Very enjoyable sci-fi yarn. Similar to Event Horizon in some ways.

After seeing how well I Am Legend did, I'm confused how this movie could draw such negative reviews from the criitcs. It's sort of like a I am Legend, but in space, with improvements. The creatures have a simliar resemblence. The After seeing how well I Am Legend did, I'm confused how this movie could draw such negative reviews from the criitcs. It's sort of like a I am Legend, but in space, with improvements. The creatures have a simliar resemblence. The space version teams up the main character with left over survivors who help in trying to save the human race. The set design is a modernized Aliens type space ship. The story ends leaving you hoping for a sequel. Had the producers cast a real stub for the part of the engineer, this movie would have had I AM LEGEND numbers.… Expand

A little too darkly-lit but with some nice surprises and a twist at the end.

Dark twisted tale which was absorbing and suspensful, comparisons to Alien are unjustified as the only themes shared are that of it being set in a large space ship and it being dark! Prob why so many reviewers decided to rubbish it. Found Dark twisted tale which was absorbing and suspensful, comparisons to Alien are unjustified as the only themes shared are that of it being set in a large space ship and it being dark! Prob why so many reviewers decided to rubbish it. Found the plot twists interesting and the set design amazing The initial wakening of Bower from sleep was creepy and disquieting. The pacing could have been faster for a action/thriller/horror especially towards the conclusion. Atmospheric absorbing and with a few good jumps to scare you I recommend it to fans of the genre.… Expand

Makes you realize what Event Horizon could have been if Paul WS Anderson had been locked in a room rather than allowed behind a camera. It's nothing new - but if you're going to borrow material, borrow it from Ridley Scott.

Yeah it keeps you in the dark.. whats the point of watching a movie if you can guess the ending??? I liked that it had unexpected twists. I;m sorry to all of the critics who went to this movie watched 20 minutes saying. "oh this is going to be the ending." AND YOUR WRONG. All of the critics who hate this movie are just angry because they couldn't predict the ending. And I really want to say the whole idea of this film is original. Yes it's a sci-fi film like Alien, so what! It's not alien quit comparing it to Alien. It is it's own film with it's own story. Also I fail to see how it's like I Am Legend. Yeah the creatures feed on flesh, but who would watch a movie if the creatures didn't? Would you rather them eat lettuce? NO, fuck that, its not scary and its not fun. Besides the creatures in I Am Legend, are turned in to mindless zombies-like creatures. The creatures in Pandorum are: *SPOILER DON'T READ THIS SECTION IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE MOVIE!* Evolved human who eat flesh to survive, and they'll even eat there own kind if they die. In this movie ALL of the creatures kept their humanity, and they have the honor and decency to fight nobly. Plus they cuddle, how much more mammal like can you get? *END OF SPOILER* This movie is great! It is a must see if you like thrillers, sci-fi, or just horror films in general. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, it will make you jump and it will keep you guessing.… Expand

I find that difficult to believe. I get that every monsters-loose-on-a-ship owes a tremendous debt to the original "Alien" but aside from that...this was really, really good. The story was compelling (the twist at the end was slightly predictable, I give you that) and the sets/cinematography were incredible. Visuals are pretty integral when telling a sci-fi story and in this respect "Pandorum" delivers in spades. Almost breathtaking. The acting was great, the dialogue was serviceable. I was slightly repulsed by seeing Paul W.S. Anderson's name in the end credits, but it sort of makes sense - a lot of the ship reminded me of the one in "Event Horizon." Regardless, this movie was excellent. I'm shocked critics aren't echoing that sentiment.… Expand

Despite the overwhelmingly negative reaction from the critics, this film actually has a lot going for it. There's nothing new here, of course, but a lot of disparate standard space disaster movie elements are weaved together fairly Despite the overwhelmingly negative reaction from the critics, this film actually has a lot going for it. There's nothing new here, of course, but a lot of disparate standard space disaster movie elements are weaved together fairly well. The acting is not oscar worthy but it's not cringe worthy either, something that many Dennis Quaid films haven't managed to achieve. The effects are good enough to make you believe the story, though the direction relies a bit too much on underlit sets and shaky camera work to assist in the illusion. That said, I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who's a fan of the genre.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt the film, was trying too hard, the plot twists felt forced and anti-climactic. More on the annoying side i felt. I knew DQ was gonna lose his mind or had lost his mind but they kept dragging it on, which just comes across as annoying. I felt the other members of the crew were stereotypical. Timid yet willing to push himself hero. The bad ass cold shouldered **** with a soft side. and the immigrant who can't speak english. What i did like was the mutants they felt like a sub species of human, that given the context of how long the ship had been there fit. the history and back story of earth and its end were interesting. It was alright for one sit through other then that i could recommend much better sci-fi cinema. Was fun for one ride.… Expand

A good stand alone sci-fi thriller. Not brain candy but good for mindless fun. The plot is unoriginal, and the story plays out as something between Star Trek, and Aliens but not as good as either. The ending was interesting enough but IA good stand alone sci-fi thriller. Not brain candy but good for mindless fun. The plot is unoriginal, and the story plays out as something between Star Trek, and Aliens but not as good as either. The ending was interesting enough but I really disliked all the pseudo-psychology stuff which is why I knocked it down a bit.

The story is just another human resettlement plot with an ark being built and people being frozen for long range travel. Like always, someone wakes up, does stuff, and things go amok. The characters are actually ok minus the main antagonist (revealed towards the very end) who was not believable. Everyone else was either trying to help the ship when things go wrong, or are there just to survive in a situation that includes genetically mutated human monster-like things. There is also a ninja character and of course a cannibal... If you want a mindless movie then this will do the trick for a couple of hours but dont expect much to talk about.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie spoke to me on a personal level because I was finally able to see people like me represented in film. Not everyone likes to take more than one or two showers a month. There's something to be said for natural oils—oils are used to consecrate things for a reason (see 'anointing', from the Latin, ungere, 'to flatter'). This divinely inspired naturalist ethos is surely the animating spirit behind the film: all the dapper and well-shampooed people are hideously murdered and eaten. Anyway, I'm not sure about the pacing so I am giving it a 6.… Expand
