As the credit "Produced by Paul W.S. Anderson" attests, this is hackwork of the highest order.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 12, 2010

Pandorum is a hodge-podge of familiar sci-fi stuff, which feels as if it were adapted from a computer game.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 4, 2009

Alvart achieves a strong sense of scale, but characters and ideas are lost amid a mess of fight scenes that, oddly, look like outtakes from 'The Descent'.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 4, 2009

Pandorum is less a story than a prolonged bout of paranoid hysterics, exuberantly played out on metal gangplanks and inside Stygian tunnels. As such, it works just fine.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2009

Riffing on Alien, Sunshine and Resident Evil, the German director Alvart finds an effective balance between action-excitement and psychological chills.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2009

There are some well-executed sequences, but the story makes nothing but a mess of its borrowed ideas.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 4, 2009

Pandorum is dumb, noisy fun. Its flaws are inoffensive inasmuch as Alvart doesn't give off Anderson's noxious vibe of insincerity.

Full Review | Oct 4, 2009

Action mayhem full of gibbering hominoids, hanging corpses and a few live stars.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 4, 2009

Some scary moments, but its final half-hour is a right old mess, and the title is doomed never to be remembered.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 4, 2009

[Pandorum] makes no sense. It doesn't really try to by the end but nevertheless, it should be said up front so that nobody has any illusions about the film since its creators certainly didn't.

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 déjà vu.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 2, 2009

According to the press notes, pandorum means "Orbital Dysfunctional Syndrome"; whatever that is, by the end of the movie I was convinced I had caught it.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 27, 2009

A grizzled Quaid and an intense Foster do their best to keep straight faces, but this is not an effort likely to figure prominently on their resumes.

Full Review | Sep 27, 2009

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.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 27, 2009

The sort of thing that makes you wish you were playing a video game instead.

| Sep 27, 2009

Quaid and Foster spend far too much time trying to figure out what's going on, but audiences are liable to respond only with a dispirited "Who cares?"

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 27, 2009

Christian Alvart lays on the symbolism in this oppressive, captivating galactic thriller

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Sep 25, 2009

Lazily derivative.

Throughout, some obvious questions pop up immediately.
