a5c7b9f00b Two crew members are stranded on a spacecraft and quickly - and horrifically - realize they are not alone. Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It's pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the ship. They can't remember anything: Who are they? What is their mission? With Lt. Payton staying behind to guide him via radio transmitter, Cpl. Bower ventures deep into the ship and begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft's shocking, deadly secrets are revealed…and the astronauts find their own survival is more important than they could ever have imagined.
In 2174, the natural resources of Earth are exhausted and the spacecraft Elysium is launched to the planet Tanis in the last hope of mankind. Due to the long travel, the crew-members are divided in teams that travel in extended hyper-sleep, rotating in shifts along the trip. When Corporal Bower from Flight Team 5 wakes up due to a malfunctioning of his chamber, he is disoriented and with amnesia. But soon he realizes that the reactor is not working and provoking power surges in the ship. Then Lieutenant Payton also awakes and they find that they are locked in a room but the access door to the bridge is not reactivated. Bower moves through the ventilation trunk trying to open the door from outside. Sooner he discovers that there is some weird threatening life form in the ship and running is always the best option to survive. When he meets the biologist Nadia and the strong farmer Manh, they team up trying to reach the reactor and save their lives. Meanwhile, Payton rescues Corporal Gallo in the room, but the menace of the paranoid Pandorum psychological trauma seems to be affecting Gallo.
I watched this on DVD and just finished it a few minutes ago. The film is still fresh in my mind, and left me with a feeling of "man, that was worth it!" It's a good, solid piece of entertaining film. I went in with zero expectations and was very pleasantly surprised.<br/><br/>The film offers solid performances from Quaid, Foster, and the rest, though it isn't going to be an Oscar candidate (no sci-fi ever is anyway, but I digress). The film does some character development, mostlycharacters remember who/what they were. It's not Anna Karenina or Gone With The Wind, though. It's a lost spaceship movie.<br/><br/>The film has the mood that's portrayed on the back of the DVD box. It's a claustrophobic lost spaceship flick - very direct. If you like that type of movie to begin with (Alien, Event Horizon, Sphere, etc.), you'll probably find yourself enjoying it. If you don't, you still might like it anyway.<br/><br/>If you're a sci-fi snob demanding that "The Wreck of the River of Stars" be made into a 10-hour miniseries, then go read a book an tell us how dumb we are for enjoying movies. (River of Stars is about a doomed sailboat in space. You get this from reading the title and the first page. Hell, the title tells you what's going to happen.)<br/><br/>Pandorum has a couple of turns in the plot that make it really interesting. I won't call anything a "twist" or "reveal" because that makes it seem like a cheap showman's trick, and Pandorum really does tell a good story.<br/><br/>There are a few parts where I found myself thinking I'd seen something like it before, and there are some derivative elements. But so what? What it borrows from is good entertainment, and it uses much of it to good effect - sometimes better effect.<br/><br/>Is it the greatest sci-fi ever? Certainly not. Is it derivative? Sure, somewhat, but everything is. Haters gonna hate. There are some flaws - one scene specifically that may leave the audience going "why would you do that?" - but even one really dumb move by the characters didn't dissuade me from enjoying the film. You'll know it when you get to it, and just roll with it - the movie's worth ignoring one bit of bad writing. There are some other flaws for nitpickers, and the action scenes suffer from rampant ramping, but it's nothing intolerable, and the story carries on despite giving nits to pick.<br/><br/>There are a few small, VERY creative, very unique special effects that add to the mood of the film. There are also some unique character traits that mix up the film a bit, plus the title space-sickness "Pandorum".<br/><br/>All in all, if you rent it or Netflix it or find it for $10 at Walmart, it's worth it.<br/><br/>I'd give it 7 1/2 stars, but I'm trying to offset the hater 1s.
Pandorum (R, 1:48) — SF, 3rd string, formula<br/><br/>It's been 24 years since Dennis Quaid appeared in a pretty good adaptation of Barry B. Longyear's Hugo-winning novella "Enemy Mine". In between he's given solid performances in SF&F fliks Innerspace, Dragonheart, the sadly under-appreciated Frequency, and even (for his own part) The Day after Tomorrow. And he's slated for the lead in next year's Legion, with its impressive trailers. So he looked like a guy who could pick 'em, and I had high hopes for Pandorum.<br/><br/>Alas, it turns out to be totally formulaic hack work. A bunch of grungy survivors is constantly imperiled by creepy crittersthey trek thru dark, dangerous, often slimy, occasionally pointy corridors in search of a mcguffin. The good guys get picked off 1 by 1, with only minor props for the black guy not being the very 1st to go.<br/><br/>There are 2 wrinkles of originality here, the 2nd of which is supposed to be the Big Reveal at the end, so I suppose I won't give it away other than to say it wasn't all that big and had been telegraphed by the nosebleed, among several other things.<br/><br/>The 1st wrinkle, tho, is the basic plot premise, which is that the whole story is taking place on a huge spaceship instead of some castle, swamp, abandoned factory, or cavern. Launched in 2174, Elysium's cargo comprises 16,000 colonists in suspended-animation capsules, headed for the paradise planet, Tanis. But the crew gets its final message from home, to the effect that Earth's 25 billion people had finally ruined the place and "you're all that's left of us". Suddenly the colony ship becomes humanity's last hope, a la Robert A. Heinlein's "Generation" and its countless clichéd ripoffs. Given that premise, I found myself rooting for Tanis, hoping that it would be spared the "sapiens" plague that had already destroyed its twin.<br/><br/>Cut to the indeterminate present. Quaid's Lt. Payton comes out of deep sleep shortly after Ben Foster's Cpl. Bower is spontaneously decanted. They're alone. Nobody's running the ship. What happened? Conveniently (for the screenwriter, not the characters), a side effect of cryogenic sleep is partial memory loss.<br/><br/>But some knowledge remains. Bower knows he's a nuclear engineer, and he's pretty sure he can fix the power surges that are affecting the ship if only he can get from here (wherever "here" is) to the engine room. But all the doors are electronically locked, so he's reduced to crawling thru the ductwork until he comes to the big, empty, rusty corridors. Oh, and of course it's all dark, because the power's misbehaving, so he must rely on a supply of chemical lightsticks obviously drawn from the same quartermaster storethe old Western "6"-shooters. I'm sure that it's pure coincidence that the surrounding murk means that they didn't have to blow a lot of money on believable sets.<br/><br/>Similarly, Payton remains in the video room while Bower is off on his quest; this meant that the director could shoot almost all of their scenes separately, and that the scriptwriter could shuck and jive and fill a ridiculous amount of time having the 2 of them try to contact each other on the radio.<br/><br/>Bower meets other survivors along the way, each with a piece of the puzzle needed to find the route to the mcguffin, but they're largely nameless stereotypes, including the obligatory babeulicious expositor with the bulging low-cut T-shirt. The credits list herNadia (Antje Traue), tho I don't recall anyone actually verbalizing it.<br/><br/>Speaking of the credits, definitely do not see this film if you're epileptic. The stroboscopic "atmosphere" that Constantin Film createda backdrop for the closing credits damn near induced a seizure in me.<br/><br/>The word "pandorum", incidentally, apparently refers to a psychological condition in which stress and anxiety produce dislocation, disorientation, and paranoia, and it's the presumptive reason for the general dereliction. The trick (suchit is) is to figure out who's actually experiencing pandorum so you know whom to trust — or at least how far — and this psychological question provides enuf interest to keep Pandorum from sinking to the bottom of the pools of garbage- and junk-infested blackwater that always seem to show up in hackneyed efforts like this. Story by Travis Milloy and Christian Alvert, screenplay by Milloy, direction by Alvert.
The movie soon turns into only a production-designed run-and-chase game, and our curiosity about what happened to Earth and the crew is teased and teased again until the movie’s big letdown of a reveal.
