'Pandorum' Trailer Offers Up Scares in Space
Filed under: Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Mystery & Suspense, Trailers and Clips
The tricky thing about both trailers and sci-fi flicks is that you might feel that you've already gotten the gist of either in under two minutes. After watching this here teaser for September's Pandorum, I feel torn between a look that reminds me of Event Horizon (could be worse in my book) and a story that is rumored to be more akin to I Am Legend (yeah, now Horizon sounds good, huh?), but we'll know in a couple of months whether or not amnesiac astronauts Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster are in as much danger as this trailer from Film School Rejects suggests.
I didn't see director Christian Alvert's first film, Antibodies, and nearly no one has seen his still-shuffled follow-up, Case 39, though there's no writing credit on that one to haunt him. Hopefully, this thing will be more atmospheric than derivative -- if it's even either; this isn't even two minutes here! -- but again, we'll find out in due time. Pandorum opens on September 4.

Wow. Forget Event Horizon and I Am Legend, that movie doesn't even look as good as Jason X.

Yeah that looks the very definition of horrible direct-to-video. Also what is up with Mr. Movie Voiceover Guy- is he trying to sound as cheesy as possible? If Danny Boyle couldn't get this movie right how's a first-timer like 'Christian Alvert' got any sort of shot? NEXT.

How are people who have never made movies bitching about film makers make movies based on a couple of minutes? You kids bitch wayyyy to much, and correct me if I'm wrong here but i don't think you guy can enjoy movies anymore. Is it possible to sit down and enjoy some awesome Space-Horror popcorn fun?. I loved Event Horizon so I will absolutely see it.

What makes you think I haven't made movies before brother? You don't even know who I am... It's just as difficult to make a crappy movie as it is to make a good one.
