Space is scary enough, but what happens when you wake up onboard a ship, and there’s only one other guy next to you, and you’re both supposed to be on a mission, but neither one of you have any idea what that is? Worst yet, you eventually discover something that may have bad, bad implications for humankind. Yikes. That’s the premise for “Pandorum” a new sci-fi movie from Constantin Film to star Dennis Quaid (pictured, left) and Ben Foster (“3:10 to Yuma”, pictured below).
Variety says the plot goes something like this:
“Pandorum,” penned by Travis Milloy, centers on two crewmen who awaken aboard their spacecraft unaware of their mission or identities and then make a discovery that threatens the survival of mankind.
Christian Alvart (“Antibodies”) directs and Paul W.S. Anderson (“Event Horizon”), no stranger to thrillers in space, will produce for Impact Pictures along with Jeremy Bolt.
I like long walks on the beach, puppies, and Kevin Costner post-apocalyptic movies. You can reach me at nix (at) scificool.com. Also, check out my other ridiculously ill-informed opinions and reviews over at 
Sounds great! But it’s PANDORUM not PANDORIUM (according to Reuters, Variety, Hollywood Reporter and IMDB).
Other than that: I love Ben Foster, Sci-Fi and Alvart’s ANTIBODIES. I’m there. Cheers.
Ugh, good catch. I don’t know what happened there with the extra “i”…
Wow, just 2 guys on a ship? Hope it’s as scary as Event Horizon!
Oh and Ben Foster is a good actor, he did so well on 30 Days of Night.
THis movie is AWESOME! I absolutely loved the suspense, thrills, chills and horror. I DID NOT see the ending of thousands of humans survivng as there were only 5-6 during the entire movie. Woe, this was so cool, the ship having landed itself and been in place for the people to simply be jettisioned in the sleeping pods to the surface. I'ved not been entertained, really entertained by a movie that I couldn't guess the plot or ending within 10 minutes.
How did noth Dennis Quaid's and the Corporals character both get back into the sleeping pods without killing each other? I have many questions. I think I'll go see it again tomorrow….yeah again tomorrow! Now the sequel to Pandorum (PII), has to secretly be on the works.
Gah, Michelle! Now the movie's spoiled for me…..Should have put a warning on that comment or something….oh well.
