Pandorum by Christian Alvart, 2009


with Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster (The Messenger, Contraband), Cam Gigandet and Antje Traue...

"Two crew members are stranded on a spacecraft and quickly - and horrifically - realize they are not alone. Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It's pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the ship. They can't remember anything: Who are they? What is their mission? With Lt. Payton staying behind to guide him via radio transmitter, Cpl. Bower ventures deep into the ship and begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft's shocking, deadly secrets are revealed...and the astronauts find their own survival is more important than they could ever have imagined." IMDB

Interesting movie. Your expectations are shifted little by little in the movie. It could be an horror movie, a science fiction movie, anticipation... But it is not only. Of course it reminds a little bit of the first Alien, and more and more of Solaris. It may not be a masterpiece but has its point.
