![]() Overall, its well paced, has passable acting, and has good twist at the end. There is also the editing in parts of the fight scenes that are too fast and there isn't any subtitles for some the foreign languages being spoken, through there is not much of it. However the cons of this movie are that most of the characters are underdelevoped but memory loss plays a put in the story so its kinda of excused. If you're able to pick this up than you might find this flick both thought-provoking and engaging. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that there are metaphors relating to stuff like the Ages of Man in Mythology, Odyssey, Dante's Inferno, Noah's Ark and ect. The title of the movie seems to be a fusion of the mythological words Pandora (Greco-Roman) and Pandemonium (Christianity) which seems to play a big part in the movie's direction. Its has common scifi tropes like creautre-on-a-space, space madness, and morlocks, ect. It was sold as a horror film but instead comes off as a Mystery/Adventure/Epic type film. I believe this movie is a worthy successor to the Alien franchise. And then later, when he is introduced to Gallo.ooh the interplay between the two is just so deliciously paranoid schizophrenic, it's riveting. He was totally the man you want at Mission Control when you are climbing around a ship with carnivorous aliens and No OSHA Compliance. He is so reassuring and steady in the role of Payton, I would have voted for him for president. His adherence to duty when the whole freaking world has gone mad is so endearing, it's almost heartbreaking. But he's still going to get to that reactor and restart it, and not For Great Justice or for a Dead Little Sister or even For Science. He's The Determinator, for sure, but there's no steely-eyed heroic gaze, no posturing, no cocky one-liners. I have no idea how he did this, but he managed to convey two traits that I would have thought impossible to combine. My second favorite thing about the movie was Ben Foster. The fluctuating power, the flickering lights, the greasy engineering rooms and-OH GOD AN ALIEN BLACK TEETH OH GOD. There, now that's out of the way, let me outline why this movie rocks.
