Pandorum is an intense Sci Fi thriller that will keep you guessing til the very end. The movie starts with Corporal Bower, played by Ben Foster, waking up from his hyper-sleep about the ship Elysium. He wakes up not remember anything about the journey, why he's there, who is is, and has no idea how long it's been. He then proceeds to wake his commanding officer Lieutenant Payton, portrayed by Dennis Quaid. The two of them device a plan to find out what's causing the power surges on the ship which woke up Bower.
As Bower begins searching the ship, he begins to remember his past, and has vivid memories of his wife who he believes to be on the ship. Bower continues searching the ship for more crewmen, for answers, and for his wife.
From this point on the movie follows the two characters, Bower and Payton, as they both begin to remember why the were on the ship and what has happened to the rest of the 60,000 passengers that are supposed to be on their ship. Met with many plot twists, and a mysterious group of creatures that seem to have inhabited the ship.
The movie originally was met with poor reviews through places like Rotten Tomatoes. I myself was pretty skeptical of it when I first saw the trailers in theaters. I finally decided to watch it one afternoon and was blown away. The plot is pretty thrilling and wraps up nicely. The acting is great, especially for a Sci Fi thriller, and the best part is the movie will keep you guessing until the very end. The ending is somewhat open ended to what happens to the crew, but I think the most important part is that the main story comes to a solid conclusion.
This movie is still available on instant queue on Netflix, and I definitely advice you to watch if your looking for something a little spooky, a little scary, and filled with action and a solid plot.
The film is rated R for strong horror violence and language.
Sounds pretty good. I'll have to check it out.
