This movie was not high on our list but ended up in our laps over the weekend. After viewing, it should be high on yours!

Sci-fi thriller with a tip of the cap to "Alien" but much more of a psych drama and heady piece than that wonderful film. Dennis Quaid is at his best here, the aliens are very good, and the views are as well. We even had to take a popcorn break in the middle just to catch our breath.

Overall 4/5 for your next cloudy night.

Patrick,

I have no seen this flick, but does sound cool:

"Pandorum
(2009) R
Upon rousing themselves from hyper-sleep, Payton (Dennis Quaid) and Bower (Ben Foster), a pair of crewmen assigned to work on a spacecraft, discover startling gaps in their collective memory -- including who they are and what, exactly, their mission was in the first place. The plot thickens when they realize they're not the only ones on board the ship. Cam Gigandet co-stars in this gripping sci-fi thriller."

And...

It's available on Netflix demand.

Gonna watch it.

Hey,

I just viewed the film.

I liked it.

There was a lot of grumbling and low talking throughout the film, but it was a entertaining movie. Yes, a bit of Alien-like plot, but the twist at the end was amusing.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Happy to help and glad you liked it.

Best film I've seen this year so far is "Winter's Bone." absolutely NO space theme anywhere I can think of but great script, beautiful cinematography, and Oscar worthy acting.
