Review of Pandorum (2009) by Je G — 02 Jan 2011
Honestly don't know what people are on about. I'm one of the first people to say a film is too "hollywood" or too CGI-based etc. I honestly just think these other reviews are trying to sound 'Cultured' by dismissing a, granted, often tacky Genre, entirely.
However, this is a shining light compared to its counterparts such as "resident evil" or similar survival horror/Psychological thriller centred films. The only thing I could possibly fault was that some of the scarier moments were a tad predictable, such as the old classic: "Oh ive hidden in a locker, they wont find me now. Oh look suddenly a bloodied face and a high pitched scream".
The story behind the disaster is well thought out and surprising, with a genuinely unexpected twist at the end (though no ive said you'll probably guess it) with a really VERY impressive and surprising end.
Id give it a solid 8 out of 10 at least. really worth a watch. especially if you're a fan of "Dead Space", but equally, even if your relatively new to survival horror :).
Patrick.
