Christian Alvart’s “Pandorum” is a creature feature horror film set in space. In that respect, the movie doesn’t really depend on its sci-fi elements in the least, and its premise could have been easily transplanted to any isolated location that requires a large group of people to be locked away from civilization. The grungy, dark spaceship interiors and its many winding, bulky corridors could easily have been swapped for an underground research base, for example. But hey, who’s complaining? It’s been a long time since sci-fi has looked this dark, gritty, and grungy. And of course, deadly.

Surrogates and Pandorum Box Office Numbers Bode Poorly for Sci-Fi
It’s not every week that two big sci-fi Hollywood movies open in the same week, but that’s what happened this weekend with the Bruce Willis “Surrogates” and the Ben Foster/Dennis Quaid “Pandorum”. Unfortunately for sci-fi fans, neither film lived up to expectations, which is the nice way of saying they both stunk up the joint.
Pandorum (2009) Movie Review
Ok kids. We’ve got a winner. I’ll freely admit, I’m on the team. I love Science Fiction and when I see something good and especially good and smart, it gets me jumping. Since I am a card carrying member of the old guys Sci-Fi association I am also wary of Hollywood spewing forth movies that claim to be smart, look on the trailers to be cast from the same moulds of old greats like “Alien” or “Predator” and even perhaps “Pitch Black”, only to get to the theatre and find out they only had a plot summary and maybe not even that. They sold us a bill of goods.

New Pandorum Featurette Lets The Cast Speak
I really like the fact that I don’t know that much about what is to befall me when I catch “Pandorum” this weekend. The cast and the big minds behind the film have taken the unusual step of letting us find out what the hell happens in the movie AS the movie is playing. Damn refreshing!
Don’t Believe the Hype: Pandorum Sequel/Prequel Talk
When you’ve been covering movie news as long as I have, you learn not to get too excited about “potential sequel” news. Studios always float out this idea of a possible franchise even before the first movie is released — that means prequels, sequels, etc. Here’s the truth: it means nothing.

New Batch of Pandorum Pics and TV Spots
I’ve been intrigued by Christian Alvart’s “Pandorum” ever since I heard about it all those many moons ago, and the more I see from the film, the more I get this nagging feeling it’s got plenty of surprises for me.

Disgusting Pandorum Motion Poster
It’s the latest in poster technology — motion posters. It moves, it has sound, and it’s annoying. Okay, maybe not annoying, but definitely, well, I’m not sure if I’m ever going to get used to this new poster style. Maybe I’m just old school that way and think that posters just shouldn’t move. Or at least, make me all nervous and what have you.
Final One Sheet For Sci Fi Horror Pandorum
“Pandorum” is yet another wicked Sci-Fi film about to creep into theatres soon. “Pandorum” stars Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster in the tale of a starship with really bad lighting and the terrible skin conditions that can obviously result. Didn’t anyone think of bringing a sun lamp?
Pandorum Comic-Con ’09 Trailer
Here’s the “Pandorum” trailer that was shown at Comic-Con over the weekend. Unfortunately I only made it into the last 15 minutes or so of the panel. Okay, so I should have caught all of it, but I was too busy running to the Exhibition Hall for a hot dog, since the Hall H “cafeteria” was out of service at that time. That took a good 20 minutes of running and and forth, and by the time I got back in, the “Pandorum” panel was already wrapping up. Anyways, here’s the trailer that they showed at the panel.
