Review of Pandorum (2009) by Kevinh — 13 Mar 2010
Like others, I watched this movie, loved it, and then went searching on the internet to see what others thought about it - mostly negative reviews? I find that difficult to believe. I get that every monsters-loose-on-a-ship owes a tremendous debt to the original "Alien" but aside from that.
..this was really, really good. The story was compelling (the twist at the end was slightly predictable, I give you that) and the sets/cinematography were incredible. Visuals are pretty integral when telling a sci-fi story and in this respect "Pandorum" delivers in spades.
Almost breathtaking. The acting was great, the dialogue was serviceable. I was slightly repulsed by seeing Paul W.S. Anderson's name in the end credits, but it sort of makes sense - a lot of the ship reminded me of the one in "Event Horizon.
" Regardless, this movie was excellent. I'm shocked critics aren't echoing that sentiment.
