Horror works best when the viewer uses his/her own imagination to visualize them. THe visuals were decent, but the creatures should've been kept in the shadows more. I didn't find myself looking at my watch one time. THere was tension, and for the most part the film was fast paced.
The movie does claustrophobia well, and the entire movie had me jumping a lot. My only real problem with Gigandet was that he overacted a bit, but otherwise everything was good. Ben Foster, and Dennis Quaid are the two most marketable names, but the other characters, outside of maybe the Cam Gigandet character, worked pretty good. THe cast for the most part was rather good for a movie of this type. Of course I'm reviewing Pandorum, so I won't mention the former film anymore. Most people trashed Event Horizon as well, but it was another movie I liked also, even though the ending of that movie was flawed. The storyline wasn't completely original because it reminded me a lot of Event Horizon, but whereas Pandorum went more for a science level, Event Horizon was more supernatural. Taking a lot of ideas from Alien, a 1979 classic sci-fi movie, and borrowing the creatures from The Descent, another near classic movie from a few years ago, Pandorum was still impressive. Pandorum borrows heavily from other sci-fi movies, but what movie doesn't nowadays. After reading critics reviews, and how they trashed it, I was going in expecting less and was pleasantly surprised.
I saw Pandorum last night and was somewhat impressed with the movie.
