Pandorum

Dennis Quaid

Seeder/deep space ship is in trouble. Something has gone awry...crew who are awakened can't get the ship up and operating because of wild humanoid critters who are intent on eating them.

Elements of Alien, Cube abound here. Too much of the film was shot in near darkness...easy on the budget but hard on the viewer. I kept wanting it to be better than it was. Gory, grubby. Fast-paced...to its detriment.

Nice resolution but it seemed to come out of left field...after 2 hours of darkness, monsters, peril...the heroes emerge to a beautiful, sun-filled paradise. Somehow it seemed too much. Similar to The Abyss.
