Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Overrated and overhyped
Excellent but underrated film
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Pandorum is, for the most part, disorienting. The low lighting, quick cuts and fractured plot make it hard to tell what is going on. Perhaps that what they are going for, though, because the movie is about space madness. It seems as if the filmmakers had a pretty good story idea, but then they had to stretch it out to fill the allotted time. Still, it caught me by surprise a couple of times.
One of the most horrible films I have ever watched in my entire life......
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.
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.
