What is your review for the science fiction movie, "Pandorum"?

I thought this movie was pretty interesting. To think of people coming out of hypersleep to find themselves cut off from the rest of others because of one going bonkers was interesting. Then to find that something or someone got aboard to feed on the sleepers added to the thrill.

I however did find some problems with the movie. When they found the main hive there was a large number of these creatures. How were they able to survive and still have food? Plus if the ship arrived at its destination why did it not automatically wake up the sleepers as it was programed to do?

Since I am a sci fi fan I probably will buy the dvd so I can study the film more. All and all I would give the movie a

I also liked this movie, it reminds me of Event Horizon another good space thriller / horror. If you like this film and want to see a really scary, gory type of the same story watch Event Horizon.

When I saw the cast, except for the first guy you see, I thought the movie was going to bomb. It slows down for a little bit at the beginning. I think with all the story line and everything the beginning could have been better. They take you off down a path that the film never fully explains and I wonder why they took me that way to begin with. However the film is definitely worth watching.

Like stated there are more than a few holes in the story. However by the end I was well satisfied with the time spent.

Rather off topic, but...
"Moon" is another good movie sort of like this.

I HOPED it would be like Event Horizon. And Dennis Quaid made me even more optimistic about it. Then I saw a longer trailer and realized how bad it was going to be, even with a good actor in it - and this is as someone who likes a lot of b-movies that aren't very good by most standards, and I'm usually okay with that, because I tend to look forward to the ones that look like cheesey sci-fi movies that aren't going to do well with most critics, because you get Aliens, Predator and others from those.

But this was pretty bad. It was not just zombies in space, or if I felt liberal, "reavers" in space, something from Firefly or maybe Ghosts of Mars, but SLOW ones at that. And Quaid phoned in his role like he did in Legion. I was really disappointed in this movie. It looked like the writer and director both got tired halfway through and just went home and the rest of the crew wrapped up without them.

Two crew members are stranded on a spacecraft and quickly - and horrifically - realize they are not alone. 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. They can't remember anything: Who are they? What is their mission?

Pandorium has to be one of the best science fiction films made in a long time. It has that mysterious aura about it that keeps you hoping to find out what will happen next. I was hoping that the ending was't going to end on one of those guessing points but it was just as good. Most everything was explained in the movie that KNtoran brought up:

When the ship crashed the power went out - remember it was a crash landing in the ocean not as it should have been hence it did not make everyone wake up. People only woke up as the power cycles got to them.

The reason for the creatures is because all the passengers were given some kind of serum that makes them adapt to the environment. It was meant to help them adapt to the new world but because the passengers woke up to a dark lifeless ship the mutation they took on was to be able to see in the dark and eat flesh for survival. Remember this is science fiction.
