Pandorum - a horror and suspense movie in a sci-fi coat

Although the movie is in the name of a sci-fi movie, it is a horror + suspense mode, and the basic style can be seen from the beginning of the male protagonist's awakening. The male protagonist woke up from a deep sleep, at a loss, desperate to escape from the hibernation chamber, and temporarily lost his memory. This undoubtedly creates a strong tension to attract the attention of the audience. Later, with the awakening of the other protagonist and the slow recovery of his own memory, he gradually understood where he was and the purpose of his trip, and gradually presented the information to the audience.

From then on, the film has shifted to the main style of horror and suspense. Reality is explored in confined and murky spaces, followed by encounters with unknown creatures. This creature plays the role of a monster in a horror movie. Strong, agile, and raw, they are the protagonist's most obvious enemy and threat. In front of them, apart from occasionally killing one or two with weapons, the male protagonist is running away most of the time. While escaping, the mission of the spacecraft was explained through encounters with a series of characters. But the strange thing is that the film did not explain how this creature was formed, whether it was a mutation of the humans on the spacecraft or the indigenous creatures of this planet, and it was not explained until the end.

Unlike previous sci-fi movies where future high-tech, spacious and bright spaceship environments are everywhere, the entire film is basically unfolded in a relatively dark space, which has always given the audience a very depressing feeling. At the end, it was explained that it sank into the shallow sea. The scene where the male and female protagonists escaped by ejecting in the hibernation chamber made me think about whether they are the legendary Adam and Eve~

As for the other clue, Pandorum, from the description of the film, there are hallucinations and split personality. of mental illness. The male protagonist and the final boss have this disease. BOSS mistakenly thought that the darkness under the sea was a starry sky without planets, thinking that they were homeless. Somewhat far-fetched here. In the 923 years after landing, it should also be able to observe the shallow sea bottom instead of the universe in the wake of hibernation many times. Or is it just mentally twisted to the point of continuing to play this game knowing that it has reached its destination?

4-star recommendation for movie reviews.

    The sci-fi background is well set and very innovative.

  • Demarco 2022-03-27 09:01:05

    The production is a bit rough, the story is innovative but there are too many bugs, it is more like a horror survival puzzle game, 60,000 people are interstellar migration, only 3 people control the spaceship, no weapons to supervise security, the rest are all hibernating, the 60,000 hibernating people How can I trust those 3 people and not mess up? Even if there are no mutants, the driver may betray these 60,000 people. Sooner or later, trouble will occur. The first half of the film is quite dull, the rhythm is slow and slow, it really tests patience, and the middle and back parts are not exciting. so disappointed
