Pandorum (2009)

By | 2011-08-25

Pandorum is a Sci-Fi thriller/horror movie.  Not a great movie, nor does it have a large cast, unless you count extras with monster makeup.

The premise is the sending of the last of society into space in cryo-sleep in hopes of repopulating a newly discovered planet after nearly destroying this one.  Why the universe would rent us another one after the way we treated this property is beyond me.  You’d think we’d be on a black list of some sort.  But faulty cryo-sleep systems and genetic alterations intended to allow the people to adapt to the new planet turn many into humanity hating monsters.  It’s funny how mosters always get along with each other but hate humans.

This movie has poor acting, slow plot, and it’s certainly not that well written.  But as is typical these days, special effects are well done, and there are some interesting concepts.  And we actually end up with a surprise ending, unlike most films.

5/10
