Pandorum

The sort of thing that makes you wish you were playing a video game instead.

Claustrophobic, tedious sci-fi thriller.

According to the press notes, pandorum means “Orbital Dysfunctional Syndrome”; whatever that is, by the end of the movie I was convinced I had caught it.

Throw out the presence of Dennis Quaid, and the new science-fiction/horror snoozer Pandorum could easily pass for a Roger Corman cheapie.
