In 2174, the natural resources of Earth are exhausted and the spacecraft Elysium is launched to the planet Tanis in the last hope of mankind. Due to the long travel, the crew-members are divided in teams that travel in extended hyper-sleep, rotating in shifts along the trip. When Corporal Bower from Flight Team 5 wakes up due to a malfunctioning of his chamber, he is disoriented and with amnesia. But soon he realizes that the reactor is not working and provoking power surges in the ship. Then Lieutenant Payton also awakes and they find that they are locked in a room but the access door to the bridge is not reactivated. Bower moves through the ventilation trunk trying to open the door from outside. Sooner he discovers that there is some weird threatening life form in the ship and running is always the best option to survive. When he meets the biologist Nadia and the strong farmer Manh, they team up trying to reach the reactor and save their lives. Meanwhile, Payton rescues Corporal Gallo in the room, but the menace of the paranoid Pandorum psychological trauma seems to be affecting Gallo. Two crew members are stranded on a spacecraft and quickly - and horrifically - realize they are not alone. Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It's pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the ship. They can't remember anything: Who are they? What is their mission? With Lt. Payton staying behind to guide him via radio transmitter, Cpl. Bower ventures deep into the ship and begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft's shocking, deadly secrets are revealed…and the astronauts find their own survival is more important than they could ever have imagined. Pandorum is good sci-fi/thriller if you can put up with a bit of horror.<br/><br/>Because it works you up, so you want to know what's going to happen & creates a whole new world: Although long. It still feels like I'm being ripped off by the end.<br/><br/>So enjoy this nice slice of epic while you can because it's not really a movie you'll want to put in your DVD player twice in the same year.<br/><br/>I don't know how, but if they made a sequel there'd be a huge fan-base.<br/><br/>Overall: Good movie, not for everyone. I'd recommend it to a friend if they liked investigative (although a little creepy), sci-fi, thriller-ish, fantasy things. Before this film was released I heard a lot of comments on boards here telling that "Pandorum" looked like "Event Horizon" simply by watching the trailer. Well, the connections between both films are easy to make since both includes the name of Paul W.S. Anderson ("Resident Evil" series) behind credits (different functions though) and shares some similarities (including a plot twist at the ending involving one of the main characters). Also the fact both films were critically rejected and didn't performed well at box-office. Both are very underrated too! "Pandorum" takes advantage of "Event Horizon" with a more fascinating plot, great dramatic moments among other things.<br/><br/>Far away in space and in a distant future, Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster are military in space who, after eight years of hibernation, are suddenly awake in their ship without knowing what happened to the crew, and to the ship functions. After discovering they're not alone, and with them there's some strange cannibalistic creatures and few other crew members, they need to find out the mystery behind all this and why they cannot contact with Earth. <br/><br/>With a great premise that slowly reveals a gripping mystery "Pandorum" is a amazing drama in the first part that disappears giving space to some action and some scary moments. As a drama where we meet the two main characters it's a excellent film, with thrills and mysteries that makes you glued to the seat; when it comes to present more and more characters and action situations it's not so successful, it lacks of a more suitable edition work in the fight scenes (wheter Ben Foster fighting with a monster or with another character, since they cannot trust each other) where most of the time it was difficult to see who were doing what and to whom, it is too fast. And when it gets close to the conclusion it gets a little bit tiresome and excessive.<br/><br/>A film starred by Foster can't go wrong and he's very good on scene; Quaid is quite good as the ship's major officer but the screenplay wasn't fair with him by placing his character in a passive behavior during the first hour, because everything happens to Foster, he gets lost in the ship, is attacked, but nothing happens to Quaid when he's in the deck of command which is unusual for a top billing performer. Andre Hennicke, Cam Gigandet and Norman Reedus are reduced to some small parts while Antje Traue and Cung Le has some good moments as Foster's partners in the ship, the only humans left behind. <br/><br/>Many unseen things makes of "Pandorum" a very good film and a must see for sci-fi fans. 9/10 How brazenly can one film rip off "Alien," "I Am Legend," and, somewhat oddly, "The Poseidon Adventure"? Newly-awakened from extended hypersleep on the spaceship Elysium, Corporal Bower (<a href="/name/nm0004936/">Ben Foster</a>) and Lieutenant Payton (<a href="/name/nm0000598/">Dennis Quaid</a>) struggle to remember the nature of their mission and to find out what happened to the rest of their fellow crew members. While Payton works the command center, Bower begins to explore the seemingly abandoned ship in order to find and jumpstart the malfunctioning nuclear reactor. He quickly learns that they are not alone and that the ship has become a hunting ground for cannibals. Pandorum is based on a script by screenwriter Travis Milloy. The screenplay was actually the result of two earlier scripts, one written by Milloy in the late 1990s and the other a screenplay titled No Where, written by director Christian Alvart. Milloy's script was set on a prison ship transporting hardcore criminals to another planet, while Alvart's screenplay was about four amnesic astronaunts aboard a settlers' ship. When the two scripts were merged, the story became Pandorum. In Milloy's original script, Pandorum was the name of the spaceship transporting prisoners to another planet. When the script was changed to feature a settlers' ship, the ship was re-named the Elysium, and the name "pandorum" was used as a nickname for orbital dysfunction syndrome (ODS), a fictional type of psychosis that can develop during deep space travel. In the movie, pandorum/ODS is described as beginning with tremors and nosebleeds and leading to paranoia, delirium, and hallucinations. As such, it is similar to a real disorder known as high-pressure nervous syndrome (HPNS), which can develop in deep sea divers when they descend to a depth of 500 feet or below while breathing a mixture of helium and oxygen. 1969: Man lands on the moon.
