Another flavorful sci-fi film after the moon

Alta 2022-03-22 09:01:42

The film has a hard sci-fi flavor, reactors, genetic mutations, immigration plans, and the explanation of amnesia syndrome. Repeated explanations are a bit boring; the
setting and atmosphere have a strange 1 feeling, especially the opening scene cuts across the ugly spaceship , like the same ugly commercial ore ship in Alien 1, it is nostalgic~
The story is generally told, but it is easy to understand, because I played EA's "Dead Space" some time ago and watched the cartoon at the same time, so I feel the movie. The influence of the game, even the appearance and behavior of the monsters are very similar, resulting in a greatly reduced sense of horror.
The happy ending is somewhat disappointing. I feel that a good sci-fi film should make the audience imagine after watching it

... 2012? Avatar? Really boring

    Reminded me of dead space, a very good bloody thriller science fiction movie!

    A very B-level movie, even if the director is willing to use some clichés, the movie will at least be much more exciting than it is now!

Pandorum quotes

  • [Bower sees that his hand is shaking uncontrollably, and he speaks to Payton over the walkie-talkie]

    Bower: Payton? Pandorum, you ever felt the symptoms?

    Payton: [aghast] Of all the things to remember, why would you pick that? Were you thinking of the Eden mission?

    Bower: What about the Eden?

    Payton: You just had to remind me of the biggest fucking catastrophe in space travel, the flight cautionary tale from Hell.

    Bower: I remember, didn't they have some kind of hypersleep malfunction?

    Payton: Three years into their shift, one of their officers had a psychological breakdown. The doctors referred to it as ODS symptom. The privates, we call it Pandorum. It drove him insane. He became convinced that the flight was cursed. Evil.

    Bower: What did he do?

    Payton: He evacuated the ship. He launched them all into oblivion. Five thousand people sent to their death with one push of a button.

  • Payton: I can't remember any of my life before this flight began.
