Pandorum TrailerI'm not surprised there isn't a thread for Pandorum, the above trailer isn't great, yet it's slightly better than the 2nd trailer which manages to be more accurate but gives away too much of the plot. Plus the critics savaged this film. I went to see this without knowing anything about it and had one of those rare experiences that only seems to happen when your expectations are low, I thought it was amazing, a really good story with several very memorable scenes.

Saw it a couple of days ago. Was moderately entertained. Could have been way better.

This movie had a LOT of potential, I really did enjoy the story and all the twists even if they were acted poorly. It'll never be a great movie but it entertained me and was a lot better than most sci-fi.

This was one of those movies I fully expected to suck going in. The acting was meh, the plot full of big nasty holes, etc, etc. Honestly though, I was really entertained by this movie, and I really don't know why.

Just saw it last night on NetFlix streaming for Wii, which is quite good BTW. (And free, yay) Thought it was pretty decent. It dragged a little towards the end and the delivery of key story elements was kind of crap thanks mostly to bad sound levels but overall it was a lot better than it had any right to be. Then again I'm a sucker for these kinds of movies.

I Netflixed this one a little while ago and enjoyed it. Very similar feel to Cube, I thought.

Grabbed this for cheap. Good buy. I like they way they present the tech in this movie. Over the top but not too far fetched. Impractical but cool looking. I also love run down old things, reminds me of Mad Max in a way.

Thanks for bringing this to movie to my attention. Watched it last night, great visuals, decent story, good action, awesome creature FX, love the hand cranks.
Truly an under appreciated sci-fi flick, very much an aliens/Event horizon with a dash of predator and dead space.

Saw this when somebody else rented it. Spectacular first half hour eventually devolves into a veritable gallery of horror and sci-fi cliché. The sense of mystery is delightful, and then every single answer and reveal is a disappointment. That said, I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The characters are consistently intelligent and resourceful, unusual for this sort of film, and the setting is simultaneously familiar and alien. What it if you can see it for free.

I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit. The reveals got a little too close to Event Horizon, and the climactic battle kind of felt a bit weird, but it was an interesting story.
