I too missed this at the theater and rented it on blu-ray, because of the lack of advertising for its limited theatrical release. I can understand why critics didn't like the film, as I sure it had too many action sequences and not enough human drama for them. However, a large segment of sci-fi fans have also dismissed Pandorum as just another Alien rip-off. The only similarities is that they both place on a spaceship in deep space. Pandorum deals seriously with deep space travel, biological adaptation and planetary colonization, which most sf films today almost completely ignore. Sure, there is plenty of violent action to keep the plot rolling, but there is much more to Pandorum than thatFritz "Doc" Freakensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209589620766485745noreply@blogger.com
