![]() ![]() Also waking up from his hypersleep container is Lieutenant Payton (Dennis Quaid), and the two proceed to try and activate the power systems on the seemingly dormant vessel. It was such an unexpected surprise, this film, that I just have to share my thoughts with you.Ĭorporal Bower (Ben Foster) wakes up on the massive human starship Elysium, after years of hypersleep, with amnesia and no idea where he is, what’s going on, or even who he is. Okay, a horror film in space generally isn’t the main viewing staple for cinema junkies, that’s for sure, but for those who enjoy good scares in stuff like Event Horizon or Aliens, will love this film. Starring Ben Foster, an actor whose star isn’t so much rising as it is levitating in the Hollywood “under-appreciated” category, and Hollywood icon Dennis Quaid, Pandorum is a hard-edged sci-fi horror/thriller which, unlike some of the films it riffs on, is actually pretty decent. ![]() Pandorum is just such a film, a film I was reluctant to pick up while perusing the rentals because I’d never heard of it, and didn’t think it would be much chop. You know what I love most about my hobby of watching movies? Finding a film I had no expectations for is actually an undiscovered gem. It’s dark, intelligent, and mysterious, and well worth a look for sci-fi hounds everywhere. Ben Foster does a top notch job carrying this film over Dennis Quaid, who spends the entire film in the cockpit. What we think : Pretty decent sci-fi fare is a love-child of Event Horizon and Aliens, dark and foreboding, with a hint of surreal thrown in. Waking well before his shift to control the craft, one young pilot must make his way to the rear of the massive ship to kick-start the nuclear engines – his only concern: the appearance of vicious, voracious creatures who kill humans wandering the corridors. Synopsis: The last of humanity is traveling towards a new home planet, after Earth becomes uninhabitable, when something goes horribly wrong. Principal Cast : Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, Cam Gigandet, Cung Li, Antje Traue, Norman Reedus, Eddie Rouse.
