I realize not many people have probably seen Pandorum yet, and I also thought about posting this in the reviews forum, but since I'm only focusing on what does not work in this movie maybe it is not the right place.
Anyway, just saw it, and I was left with a mildly satisfactory experience, yet all the time it felt like there was something missing(or maybe something too much). Heres what I came up with:
1. I'm always disappointed when the monster(s) in a horror movie is revealed too soon, and that definitely happens here. Also, they reminded me a lot about the things in The Descent, so they were kind of familiar already, and that does not breed fear.
2. The human cannibal looks like a cannibal the minute you see him since his attire is similar to what the creatures wear. He could have been a more complex character, I feel a better actor could have really done good here.
3. Too much running around in corridors and doors that sometimes open, sometimes don't, ruins the illusion for me, there should be some logic to it.
IMDB says they may make a sequel to this and I kind of look forward to that movie, the movie ends in an interesting point, it might be like Outlander but better since that movie becomes a stupid monster hunt after a promising start.
Anyway, any thoughts anyone?
