Movie | Pandorum | Pass-ish

This was one stupid movie. But, it didn't sink in how stupid it was until the end credits. And for that, it gets a pass...ish. Just barely, at that.

The action, suspense and horror angles of what is basically an Alien/Sunshine combo does keep you going, though. And the acting is pretty darn good. Nice production values, except the editing was terrible, very herky jerky and non-linear.

Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster lead a decent cast that also includes the famous kickboxer, Cung Le, who never speaks a line of English. He and an interesting German actor by the name of Antje Traue provide all of the martial arts and they're darn good at it.

This was done by the relatively new German director, Christian Alvart. He needs to get better scripts (with fewer plot holes and logic gaps) and a better editor. If he does that, he could be a fun one to watch.

This is for genre (scifi horror and action) fans only.
