DVD Review "PANDORUM" Score C+ 79%

What starts out as Mystery disolves into a hybrid space horror psychotic movie. In the future earth's population is exploding and we find another earth like planet many light years away that we intend to send a ship Noah's Arc proportions of 60000 humans and thousands of other species to inhabitate. A sole man wakes from frozen animated suspension and is confused at where he is who he is and what's going on. A superior officers awakens and they attempt to get the ships power back online before everyone and everything inside dies. However groups of humans have already been awake, and transformed into monsters except for a few others who are fighters. Oh then the captain is crazy with pandorum space crazy sickness. There is in-fighting, running from monsters who will eat ya, or cannibal loners in a closed off section who tell wacky stories drug you, hang you upside down and try to eat ya. In the end SPOILER: we realize the ship already landed on the planet they were headed to and is just under an ocean, but know one knows that until they get the lights on and look out the window. They they simply crack the glass, and the ship shoots the frozen life pods to the surface THE END. The monsters look like they are stolen from the movie THE DESCENT almost exactly the same. The movie is a lot of darkness, and not much action. Could have been much better.
