Critics Consensus

While it might prove somewhat satisfying for devout sci-fi fans, Pandorum's bloated, derivative plot ultimately leaves it drifting in space.

A great, solidly made and well thought out film. Action, sci-fi and horror in one. With a twist... Well acted, solid script, good visuals.

A real good movie. The acting is good and the story is interesting. They did a great job creating the look/atmosphere to pull off this story. Not many movies can pull it off so well!

Pandorum ne réinvente pas le genre mais est un très bon divertissement de science-fiction

As the credit "Produced by Paul W.S. Anderson" attests, this is hackwork of the highest order.

It takes a brilliant concept and stellar performances and buries them in banality and mediocre scares.

Empire Magazine

Pandorum is a hodge-podge of familiar sci-fi stuff, which feels as if it were adapted from a computer game.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

It wants to transcend several genres at once, and by doing so become something original. Except it doesn’t realize these many goals, nor does it accomplish maybe just one or two.

Rated: 2/4

It’s basically a zombie movie set-up on an industrial spaceship, a fast-moving B-movie that throws out lots of theories that don’t stand up to the light of reason and then moves on to the next chase and feeding frenzy by the mutant hordes.
