Review – Pandorum

I had to restart this movie three times because I had the hardest time paying attention to it. In my defense, it isn’t the sort of picture that rewards careful attention. Indeed, the experience is less like being told a story and more like watching someone else play a video game. Two space travelers awaken from suspended animation to discover that their memories have been partially erased and their ship has become a house of horrors. While one hangs around the control room, the other embarks on a quest to jump-start the ship’s reactor, teaming up with other survivors and battling humanoid cannibal monsters along the way. The filmmakers spent enough money to ensure decent production values, but they should have saved back a few bucks for a more coherent script. Mildly amusing
