Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Prismark10 Paul W S Anderson is one of the producers so lower your expectations.By 2174 planet Earth is overpopulated and resources are scarce. has reached a limit. A giant spaceship has been constructed, a kind of ark sent out to deep space. The spacecraft Elysium is heading for planet Tanis which can sustain life.The crew are sent to hyper sleep for the long flight. Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) wakes up due to a malfunction in his pod. He is unsure where he is and suffers from amnesia. Lieutenant Payton (Dennis Quaid) also wakes up and discover that the ship's reactor is not working. Bower goes to fix it but realises that the ship has sinister secrets.As Bower goes through the dark passages he finds out that there are mutant cannibal figures, super strong lightning fast and out for flesh. Payton discovers that after the ship was launched, some of the crew went mad and regressed. Bower comes across some isolated survivors, members of the crew who have awoken and fighting to survive from the mutants. Pandorum has an incoherent story, it is a mess and borrows from other films. It has bits of Alien, Event Horizon, Sunshine, even Fight Club.A lot of the film takes place in the dark, it keeps the budget down. The mutants are there for jolts and make no sense. Humans do not mutate in hundreds of years and given their abilities, the mutants should have killed everyone in the ship by now.Despite the derivative feel of the film, Ben Foster keep the film going. It has enough action and mystery to be passably entertaining and I liked the ending.
carolynvargas If you like science fiction than this is a good film- dare I say even a great one on occasions. Denis Quaid is great and the set pieces and production design shines through. However, predictability ruins it in the end. Regardless, you should check it out.
crberme Payton, a crew member of a spaceship designed to travel to a planet habitable by humans wakes up early from the hyper-sleep state, unable to remember he's name or where is he. As he recovers his memory by finding his belongings, he realizes that something's wrong with the ship's reactor and is decided to go and fix it. But he's not alone… This is one of these movies that has a visual style that stand out in an unique – and good - way. It reminds me of 00s horror videogames, with a mix of green and blue tinted light and an overall darkness. Apart from that, the movie sets in some parts of the spaceship, but there's no views of the outside or something that makes that the're inside of a ship believable. Sometimes it looks like there's a set of rooms, one after the other, and almost the whole movie is about going from the first to the last and back.This movie has good characters, with a lot of personality and strong roles in the plot. Though the whole movie we can see how a squad forms not because of affinity, because the kind of need each other and they believe in Bower and his mission. If I had to pick up a favorite character from this movie it would probably be Nadia, because she's just badass.The plot is maybe one of it's weakest points, being good in some cases and leaving holes and some others. After watching the film I found myself thinking that some things didn't really make sense or at least they didn't look right. Maybe rewatching this movie would make this better, since this movie is one of those that you can watch over and over again without getting tired. Is enjoyable, just be aware that it has some flaws.I thought if I would recommend this movie or not, since it doesn't really stand out or anything, but it's actually enjoyable even with it's flaws, so if you like sci-fi horror movies you should watch this one.
Thomas Clement (Mr. OpEd) I've actually tried to watch this on three different occasions, don't ask me why, but do know that I've never finished and won't try again.Dark? Guess they spent all the budget on glow sticks and flashlights.Noisy? Yes, but why? We usually don't know what the sounds mean? Shaky cam? Sigh, yes. Continuity? Early on, Bower uses a cool looking razor to remove his bristle. Something startles him mid-shave, but he's next thing we see, he's completely shaven.Don't try this once, let alone three times. I always give 1 out of 10 when I can't be bothered to finish.
