This movie is not a common type of popcorn horror movie. It has a rather hard-core background setting similar to the worldview of the wasteland. It is gradually revealed in the film: the population of the earth will explode in the future, and the war for limited resources will be triggered. After the deep space explorer discovered an asteroid similar to the earth's environment, human beings gathered all their forces to send an immigrant ark, hoping that the race would continue in infinite space.
However, the journey was so long that it would take hundreds of years to sail, so the entire colony was dormant. The crew, on the other hand, woke up in batches to operate, maintain, and change shifts. Even so, expect to spend several generations on the voyage. That's when tragedy struck. Decades after the immigrant ships left the earth, the inevitable war finally broke out. The result was the destruction of the planet, and the immigrant ships were the last of all humans.
The crew on duty who received this news collapsed under the double shock of huge mental shock and deep space claustrophobia, and the concept of human beings was destroyed and rebuilt. The only surviving crew member who killed his companions took on the role of God and began to play with the survivors at will. He released the civilians of the immigrant group in batches and left them to fend for themselves in the airtight ark, where morality, law or human relations were completely buried. After several generations (about 800 years) of evolution, and the drugs injected during freezing sleep promote biological gene mutation, the humans in the ark have evolved into another savage species: mentally degenerated and physically developed. Kill each other in the ark or hunt the newly awakened settlers, and the dead will be eaten.
The protagonist woke up from the dormant cabin at such a point in time, and repaired the ark's backup power supply after exploring and fighting. Only then did he discover that the immigrant ship had already arrived at its destination and sank in the deep sea. He flooded the ark and released the rest of the colony on the unknown planet. 1213, which is the surviving Earth population at the end of the film.
The film has many memorable highlights. For example, in the distant homeland of the earth, humans lead to self-destruction in order to compete for limited resources, while on the ark, the immigrant crew members who were released and left to fend for themselves also lost their humanity in order to compete for limited resources and turned into savage monsters . Although the whole film takes place on a claustrophobic spaceship, at the end of the film you find that the spaceship has already landed in the deep sea. After all, space and deep sea are also full of unknown fears for human beings, and their essence may be the same.
The 2009 movie, probably due to a coincidence, has a sense of picture very close to the 2008 horror game masterpiece Dead Space, showing the oppression of the confined space very well, and the performance of several actors is in place, Anjie Tra The image of a female warrior in the blood has full wild charm. The struggle in the hallucination and some people watching the flashbacks are a bit confusing, and you need to use some analytical film reviews to sort out the context, but there are not many excellent sci-fi movies that combine the apocalypse complex in the space age, and "Pandorum" can definitely be regarded as one of the best. .
