Battle for Pandora is The Asylum’s mockbuster answer to Avatar: The Way of Water, although the trailer looked like it was as much inspired by James Cameron’s earlier film The Abyss, and perhaps inevitably given the two film’s similar effects, Terminator 2. It also looked a lot more interesting than anything to do with the Avatar franchise, although to be honest that really wouldn’t be too hard.
The Cassini 3 landed on Saturn’s moon Pandora and promptly stopped communicating with Earth. In response, a rescue mission led by Commander Hank Lewis (Tom Sizemore), is dispatched. On board is infectious disease specialist Dr. Jennifer Ryan (Natalie Storrs) and her husband Dr. Cliff Ryan (Mark Ricketson). This complicates things because Jennifer and the Cassini’s captain Greg (Kristos Andrews) have a history.
