Survival when things go wrong.,
By
This review is from: Pandorum (DVD)
Limited cast, if you don't count the monsters, that pull off the plot nicely. I have to admit that it's nice to see a few movies come out that rely not only on the cinematography, effects, and story, but also include a limited cast that can act.Two of the crew of the fifth shift charged with running the Elysium for their two year stint awake from hyper-sleep, their memories ravaged by the prolonged slumber soon come to realize that is the least of their problems. Not only do they have to deal with the major gaps in their memory, their flight training and underlying psychological traits remaining relatively intact, they also have to solve the mystery of what has happened to their vessel. Quaid stays in the sleep chamber/command center and sends Foster off through service ducts in search of a way to open the door to the command center. As with all plans of mice and men that's when their plans have to adapt to what they find along the way. What they find is a failing ship inhabited by creatures, reminiscent of John Carpenter's "Ghosts of Mars", who are fast, intelligent, and possessed of a need to feed on whatever food that presents itself which includes their own wounded. The creatures while being part of the peril they face are minor players while Quaid and Bower work at rediscovering who they are and their roles in relation to each other and themselves as well as the other individuals they meet. The movie revolves around the examination of the range of traits that humanity can express from depravity to hero while trying to survive in adverse circumstances. On the one hand while being a psychological thriller it also is just plain good sci-fi. The movie is plausible in it's presentation of science as a background to roles of people dealing with that science when it goes wrong. The sets, lighting, and photography, are all handled really well, and does well in the "suspension of disbelief." Overall it is rich in the visuals, acting, and story line and well worth the watch.

This review is from: Pandorum [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Imagine being stuck on the "Event Horizon" with mutated creatures that act similar to the zombies in "28 Days Later"... and you don't remember anything...

Serious stuff!,
By
This review is from: Pandorum [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This is serious stuff people! It might not be up to a classic like Ridley Scott's "Alien" but hey, how many good recent sci-fi in space do we have? You can count them on one hand... this one and... "Moon (2009) [Blu-ray]" (wich I recommend!)!This movie have many very good qualities to boot! 1) The story: I cared for what I consider a beleivable story, it's one hell of a nerve racking ride and I did care for the characters as well! That's a good start! 2) Awesome sets: you really feel like you are lost in one HUGE ship! It's getting better! 3) Superb costumes: creatures are highly beleivable and scary! Now they got me! 4) Most special fx are very well done! Icing on the cake! All in all, I'm pleasently pleased with this movie! I was a lil bit hesitant because of some bad reviews... well folks, too bad they didn't like it! About the blu-ray! I got it 2 weeks before the official realese date and at a very good price, C20$!! Thanks Amazon!! Looks and sound 4.5/5
