Best movie ever!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Paul W S Anderson is one of the producers so lower your expectations.By 2174 planet Earth is overpopulated and resources are scarce. has reached a limit. A giant spaceship has been constructed, a kind of ark sent out to deep space. The spacecraft Elysium is heading for planet Tanis which can sustain life.The crew are sent to hyper sleep for the long flight. Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) wakes up due to a malfunction in his pod. He is unsure where he is and suffers from amnesia. Lieutenant Payton (Dennis Quaid) also wakes up and discover that the ship's reactor is not working. Bower goes to fix it but realises that the ship has sinister secrets.As Bower goes through the dark passages he finds out that there are mutant cannibal figures, super strong lightning fast and out for flesh. Payton discovers that after the ship was launched, some of the crew went mad and regressed. Bower comes across some isolated survivors, members of the crew who have awoken and fighting to survive from the mutants. Pandorum has an incoherent story, it is a mess and borrows from other films. It has bits of Alien, Event Horizon, Sunshine, even Fight Club.A lot of the film takes place in the dark, it keeps the budget down. The mutants are there for jolts and make no sense. Humans do not mutate in hundreds of years and given their abilities, the mutants should have killed everyone in the ship by now.Despite the derivative feel of the film, Ben Foster keep the film going. It has enough action and mystery to be passably entertaining and I liked the ending.

A well-directed, gripping, and suspenseful sci-fi horror/thriller that has the element that is missing the most from the large majority of recent years sci-fis: a good story, with the necessary twist at the finalé. Of course, excellent acting and solid special effects are also present, but these alone do not make a good film; good stories do.

I've actually tried to watch this on three different occasions, don't ask me why, but do know that I've never finished and won't try again.Dark? Guess they spent all the budget on glow sticks and flashlights.Noisy? Yes, but why? We usually don't know what the sounds mean? Shaky cam? Sigh, yes. Continuity? Early on, Bower uses a cool looking razor to remove his bristle. Something startles him mid-shave, but he's next thing we see, he's completely shaven.Don't try this once, let alone three times. I always give 1 out of 10 when I can't be bothered to finish.

When I saw this movie in theaters myself and an older lady were the only two in the theater. I don't recall which but there was another popular movie at the time everyone was going to see. There wasn't much advertising for the movie from what I can recall. I was highly impressed with it and keep it in my favorites library for occasional viewing.
