Never trust fan reviews..except mine
Pandorum was a well made, exhilirating, suspenseful sci-fi thriller. I read an earlier review that mentioned something to the extent of "I usually like scary movies but this one sucked." Well frankly so did their opinion. This movie is not meant to attract the same audiences as SAW, it is a sci-fi thriller. The story line alone was very creative, the acting (especially Ben Foster's) was better than average. Dennis Quaid, as old as he is, provides some intense dialog adding his unique style to the film. The work put into the CG could have been better, but still acceptable. Make-up and costume work make for some intense, sometimes scary visuals. The first half of the film the audience is thrusted into darkness, which can become a bit of a chore to keep up with the action on screen.
Overall this movie surpassed my expectations, I predict it will continue to go under-rated shadowed by Surragates. A poor-release date along with minimal advertising will make this film go unnoticed.
