Pandorum (2009)
5/10
I thought this was just okay

Pandorum (2009) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a space vessel where people start waking up unexpectantly to discover most of the people on the ship are missing. They start searching the ship for clues and discover the people may not be as gone as they think...

This movie is directed by Christian Alvart (Case 39) and stars Dennis Quaid (Great Balls of Fire), Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma), Norman Reedus (Walking Dead), Cam Gigandet (Twilight) and Antje Traue (Man of Steel).

The storyline for this picture is as you'd expect and felt like a mix of Event Horizon and the Dead Space video game series. The characters should have been better based on the quality of the cast, but I didn't love Snow as the hero and I'm not sure Quaid fit this character. The masks, sets, attire, depiction of the circumstances and look and feel were all solid. There are some good kills sprinkled in here and there and the zombies were okay. I found the corporal annoying and thought the ultimate villain and conclusion was just okay.

I'm sure I'm going to be in the minority, but I thought this was just okay. I'd score this a 5-5.5/10 and only recommend watching it if nothing better was available.
