Alvart doles out the scripts handful of ideas stingily, which would be problematic even if they werent all hopelessly shopworn.

I feel like its fair to say that Pandorum is more style than substance but it is a solid sci fi thriller.

Cabin fever in space is a durable idea for horror, but the main feeling this one from the Resident Evil gang is likely to inspire is cosmic deja vu.

It takes a brilliant concept and stellar performances and buries them in banality and mediocre scares.

Probably the films only real saving grace is Ben Foster, who tries hard in the lead, but doesnt have a heck of a lot to work with.

So Alvarts English language debut is definitely a film you want to catch on the big screen.

The lame story is made worse by its pretensions it had something to say about the morality of space missions.

I wont say any more, lest I give away some of Pandorums best surprises, even if some of these arent all that clever.

As always, Foster sells the hell out of his role but non sci fi fans may well themselves be driven mad long before the end.

Were Travis Milloys script interested in more than basic monster movie chills, this steep drop off in tension might be forgivable.

Pandorum is the latest, offering a garbled tale of terror in deep space so murky that it is hard to see what is going on half of the time.

After two hours in the dark with this loud but hollow hybrid, youll know space madness. In a good year for smart sci fi, Pandorum lumbers and groans.
