Pandora + Pandemonium = Pandorum

Pandorum is a 2009 scifi film. It was sold as a horror film but instead comes off as a Mystery/Adventure/Epic type film. Its has common scifi tropes like creautre-on-a-space, space madness, and morlocks, 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. 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. If you're able to pick this up than you might find this flick both thought-provoking and engaging. 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. 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.

Overall, its well paced, has passable acting, and has good twist at the end. If you've seen the movie already than you might be interested in this analysis I made about the symbolism present in the film.
