You are here: Films N-Z P Pandorum

Pandorum

4/10

Some film titles do not help themselves. Faced with a name like Pandorum, what on earth do you expect? Well, nothing on earth is the answer, since this is a post-apocalyptic sci fi film set in space by a director who has watched Alien far too often, and thinks that constant cutting is the key to tension; what we get instead is tedium. Two men run around a space ship trying to work out what's happened, and encounter either crazed survivors or nasty monsters. I can't imagine why Dennis Quiad and Ben Foster signed up for this mess.
