Pandorum

"The terrifying story of two crew members, Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) and Lt. Payton (Dennis Quaid) stranded on a spacecraft where they quickly realise they are not alone. Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. They can't remember anything - who are they or what is their mission. The only way out of the chamber is a dark and narrow airshaft. Bower crawls inside, while Payton stays behind for guidance on a radio transmitter. As he ventures deeper and deeper into the ship...(Plot extracted from Movies Yahoo Singapore)."

"Pandorum" is a Sci-fi horror film. The beginning of the plot was slow and confusing but it was getting clearer when halfway through. My heartbeat was fast mainly due to the darkened scenes in the spacecraft. The sudden attack of the humanoid creatures shocked me most of the time. We have seen those creatures before in "The Cave" and "The Descent". The movie is far better than I expected and it keeps audience wanting to know what will happen next. The ending part surprised me too. The movie is enjoyable and my overall movie rating is 3/5.

Bro i been reading your movie review and I just wondering is there a movie so far in your rating is 5/5? or maybe 4.5/5?

saruman said...

yup, 1 of the must see movie of this year!

desmond said...

Leon - To me, 4/5 is my highest rating. I believe if there is such rating of 5/5, there will be no good movies produced in the future. I just treat the remaining 1/5 for improvement. Iron Man, Transformer 2, Wall-E are the movies I gave 4/5.

desmond said...

Saruman - same here..

saruman said...

i gave District 9 4.5/5 for the originality of the story as well as the heavy messages in it.. Really like that movie!

Saruman - I was sad as I didn't go to watch the movie in the cinema. So, got to wait for the DVDs to be released.

saruman said...
