The ship contained the last remains of a dying planet Earth, transporting hundreds of thousands of people to a new home. As the two crew members begin to realise the full extent of the situation they must find out what happened to the passengers and the rest of the crew. However the ship has some unwanted guests, mutant beings that like the taste of human flesh. The remaining crew are all that stands in the way of humanity being lost forever.

Overall a really good movie, if you’ve not heard of this one before then you’re in for a treat.

 

I had huge expectations for this film when it was originally released and at the time I wouldn’t say they were met. But after watching it again recently I think I might have judged it poorly as I enjoyed it even more the second time around. So I guess if you watch this with few expectations then you’ll be more than pleasantly surprised.

 

Rating: 7/10

+1 #1 liz 2010-05-11 03:07 This is basically "The Descent" of the future. Take the same old monsters, make them way smarter, put them on a spaceship, and add a little side plot about the psychological effects of isolation combined with severe trauma, and then you have Pandorum. Not that it's not an enjoyable movie, but I'm just saying… Quote
 
 
0 #2 Mel 2010-12-23 20:21 This was better than I thought it would be. I never heard any good or bad reviews of it so thought it would be just another mediocre movie that spent most of its budget on a B-list co-star.

Theres only a short 1 scene clip on Earth in the 22nd century before it ends but how it ends is explained. Its a movie that combines Noah's ark, "The descent" and "Event Horizon"

No zombies or giant rad-scorpions but it's still entertaining in the dark.

0 #3 Desperate Amateurs 2011-08-29 03:41 I found this movie by mistake one night and was pleasantly surprised. I have not seen "The Descent" so I have no point of reference there. I wish that they had gone a bit deeper into what had happened on Earth But it was still a fun ride. Quote

just saw it … kept me all the 108 minutes with my eyes stuck on the TV and with almost without a breath.
not the usual post apocalyptic, post nuclear wasteland kind of movie, but a MUST SEE for sure.
