Pandorum

I wasn’t expecting much from this, so a glaring continuity error at the beginning came as no surprise. This film is a complete mess. It’s really trying hard to be Alien, mixed with The Poseidon Adventure. Characters are mysteriously introduced only to be: killed off, offer exposition, or just mumble without giving any answers. Dennis Quaid’s performance is wasted, boiled down to repeating “Bower, do you copy?” over and over. No one knows where they are, what they’re doing there and how to get home, wherever that is. The only thing that is certain is that there are creatures on the ship that like to hunt and eat humans. Only in movies like this can two people have a meaningful conversation even though they speak entirely different languages. To top it off, the visual effects are really sub par.
