Comments: Pandorum is a solid sci-fi/horror film with both an interesting plot and some quality horror. The film revolves around Ben Foster and Dennis Quaid waking up in a giant spaceship with no idea what's going on. The power's not functioning and there's a bunch of creatures running around murdering bitches like no tomorrow. Most of the film is reminiscent of The Descent (in space, of course). And that's not a bad thing. Everything's dark, people are tense and freaked out, and there's those damn mutants. There's a few other twists and turns thrown in for good measure, which altogether make a fun and enjoyable film. Definitely worth a watch for anyone that enjoys these types of films. And apparently those people do not include critics, who bashed the film. I'm not quite sure why, as I found it both intriguing and entertaining. Oh well, fuck 'em.
