Pandorum (DVD) Reviews

Pandorum is a film that showed some promise; decent enough actors (notably Dennis Quiad but also that guy from Six Feet Under); the plot looked alright too - set in an unknown future, a couple of guys onboard a space-ship come out of stasis to find their ship ruined and a mystery unraveling before them that includes aliens - so far so ...  Read the complete review

The first bad sign i got about this movie was when me and my partner went in to the cinama and found we were the only 2 people watching it! Then things went down hill from there, i am not a big fan of sci-fi films but i thought this looked a bit of a sci-fi/horror. The film started off ok really, people one by one coming out of deep ...  Read the complete review

At times this Sci Fi fantasy film was slightly confusing however I overall I quite enjoyed it, not the sort of film that I would go out of my way to see again but worth giving the benefit of the doubt to to say that it is worth one viewing. It stars Dennis Quaid as Leutenant Payton and Ben Foster as Corporal Bower and the two awake from ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room When watching the trailer for Pandorum, the psychotic science fiction film Event Horizon comes to mind - both are sci-fi films that have a sufficient element of psychological horror and cerebral terror, and although Pandorum therefore isn't so original, it is quite a ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to choosing films between me and my boyfriend we come up with some interesting choices. I pick films that have actors in from films I like, and well he will pick films that he likes - majority of the time that means we see some random films. This one however, is incredibly random but it is a film that will become like marmite. You ...  Read the complete review

From www.nefariousfilms.co.uk What do you get if you mix a boring hung over Sunday afternoon trip to the cinema with generous helpings of Alien, Sunshine, The Descent and Event Horizon? Pandorum, possibly the most unoriginal sci-fi film ever. If you've seen director Christian Alvart's previous film the barefaced blatant Seven rip off ...  Read the complete review

Having titled my last review 'Hopefully the worst film I will see this year' I knew I was tempting fate. I didn't expect the next film I saw to be considerably worse right enough. Both Empire and Total Film had given 'Pandorum' two stars so I had decided not to bother with it. When those magazines agree that something is below three ...  Read the complete review

Film only review. Despite having seen a not-very-appealing trailer for the film Pandorum, and reading some poor reviews in the press, I was still keen to see it. Pandorum is set in the future, when the Earth is over-populated and suffering from water shortages etc. Lt Payton played by Dennis Quaid, and Corporal ...  Read the complete review

Corporal Bower and Lieutenant Payton are woken up dazed and confused from suspended animation. On a ship seemingly floating through space, they set about recovering the gaps in their memory and restoring power to the ship's system. However, as Payton directs Bower through the bowels of the ship towards the ship's core it would appear something ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a big sci-fi fan, but I've been impressed when the Lost in Deep Space scenario (where is Shallow Space, anyway?) crosses over into horror. Sigourney Weaver in Alien was unforgettable, and Event Horizon had me leaving the multiscreen shaking, and left my mate unable to drive us back from the out-of-town industrial estate for a good ten ...  Read the complete review

In a future where Earth has become dangerously overcrowded, Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) and Lieutenant Payton (Dennis Quaid) awake from suspended animation 500 million miles away in space. Their ship is in darkness as there is some problem with the power and, due to the side effects of suspended animation, they have no memory of who they are or ...  Read the complete review
