Pandorum's story is that of the ship Elysium, Humanity's final hope it would seem and all that's left of the human race as they make their way to colonize Tanis. The story follows two officers who awake from hypersleep, Lieutenant Payton (Dennis Quaid) and Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) as they try to fix what's wrong with their ship while discovering it's dark secrets and what has happened on board in the last 123 years they've been aboard. While battling cannibalistic humanoid monsters, hallucinations and memory loss, this leads to a dark but interesting storyline for the viewer.
The cast is pretty much perfect with an absolutely superb performance by Dennis Quaid as Lieutenant Payton. A strong performance by Ben Foster as Corporal Bower who has to carry the film alone for quite a while before running into the beautiful Nadia played by Antje Traue who also gives us a lovely, strong character and performance. The supporting cast of Cam Gigandet as Corporal Gallow, Eddie Rouse as Leland and Cung Le as Manh all do lovely jobs as well with what screen time they have.
The special effects and sounds are all brilliantly done and add to the dark, foreboding and scary atmosphere presented to the viewer throughout the movie.
Overall a well deserved 8/10 from me for a solid, entertaining storyline, a brilliant cast and great VFX and SFX.
