Literally one of my favorite twist endings. The fact that they were there the whole time is just crazy. That ocean reveal was really cool.
963 years since launch, wonder how many generations of mutations resulted in humans turning into those monsters.
@@achillesrodriguezxx3958 900 yrs is not much to have any detrimental mutations. That's just few generations which is not enough time to mutate. Unless the "accelerator" would have a side effect that would cause too much change. My initial thought was because of the nuclear reactor + accelerator but the movie confirms that is not the case.
No it wasn't your making stuff up.
Right! She said "where are rhe stars" and I'm like "ooooommggg where are they!?!"🤣
@@shurikentuna That was the entire point of the accelerator.. Did you even watch the movie??
Incredibly underrated apocalyptic film.
What do you think it should be rated?
How is it underrated?? Do you even know the meaning of underrated? If so then explain how this movie is underrated
I see ur comments everywhere
@@patrickkennedy5326 lol I live here
@@Daniel-vs7qm I think he means that it wasn’t promoted heavily, wasn’t watched by a ton of people, and got little recognition for how original the concept is and how awesome the movie is. But I could be wrong.
I like how they brought up Norman Reddus as if he doesn't die in 3 minutes of screen time.
Yeah I thought "hey is that NR" when I saw him in the movie but then he died while I was still unsure.
Then I saw him in the credits like woah, neat!
@@thirstiestvillager9233 yeah I saw him and I was like "oh cool Norman Reedus!" and then he died.
Norman is one of the best actors I’ve seen not up there with Morgan freeman and others but still a good actor
Because this movie was made before norman became a hit, they didnt realise the greatness they had in front of them.
You ever hear of Boondock Saints? Came out almost a decade and a half before this film, he was famous, trust me, many knew his name before that goofy WD show ae out.@@JosephStalin311
The scariest part of this movie was when the innocent crew in pods were ejected/vented into the void. Imagine waking up or being awake, seeing yourself floating out into the darkness, knowing you'll run out of oxygen and no one will come for you, dying afraid.
In a sense, that's how we all die. The realization one is about to die always comes as a surprise. And no one and nothing in the world will come to save you from the eternal abyss once you realize it's your time. It is something you face alone. And you have no control over when your time is up. And we're almost never given advance notice. Have a nice day :)
@@noctemeternis5434 what?? u know its very different to die in a gradual or announced way like suffocation or by sickness; than in sudden death like a car accident or a terrorist attack right, without even getting in to suicides.. every dead is unique by the method and mental state of each person.. so in NO sense that how we ALL die.. theres a whole non forensic branch of science that study the aspects of death including its environmet.. very pretty and deep your perspective, but in no way close to be objectively accurate..
Also near the halfway point of the movie when the trio was trying to escape, they raised a pod and the mutants all ate him alive. It bought the trio time, but damn, that would be so horrifying, to wake up only to be immediately die.
@Cuauhtli-Mixtli Mendez-Martinez yessss that's what I think too
Noctem Eternis youre so edgy
Underrated doesn't even describe how underrated this movie is. Great work
The camachos are underrated
Presidente Camacho underrated??? You must not know this movies budget
"Underrated doesn't even describe how underrated this movie is."
Why do people have to keep saying that one or some of their favourite films are underrated? These films are not "underrated; they are just generally unappreciated by the vast majority of the audience, and that is the way that I like it.
Few people (respectively) have heard or even seen 'Dark City'. But the film is not underrated or unappreciated by the millions of fans who love it.
@@BrySmi
"It was really perfect as is."
That's the way I like it; ignored by most people except by its fans! Of course, there's one thing even worse than a sequel - a dreaded remake!
Strangely, they never made a sequel to the similar (but inferior) 'The Truman Show!
Underrated because it is not a big hollywood made movie but an European movie. This is also the exact reason why it is a great movie compared to 90% of the Hollywood shit we get.
European moviemakers need to make more movies like this.
What is so genius, is Bower wasn't actually suffering from pandorum. What he was feeling was the affects of being deep under water for too long. Gallows was in his head at the end, making him believe he was suffering from the illness. Also, the things mutation was accelerated from dwelling in the reactor chamber, thus the no body hair appearance. And the aquatic blue skin was a mixture of radiation and the dampness caused from the elysium sitting in the depth of Tanis ocean.
Brilliant writing an instant classic.
I like your comment good insight. Good movie deffo
being under water doesnt matter, the ship is pressurized.
effects* (the effect of one thing on another)
@@nillyk5671 ny Kill* the kill, that follows another kill; first word being swedish, second english
actually being in water turns human skin white. what turns human skin blue is breathing pure nitrogen. which is why the avatar kitten people are blue. yes, if you breathe pure nitrogen you will die, but you will also turn blue, but for a different reason; lack of oxygen. i know right ;) oh yeah, and obviously the ship was pressurized so your 'bends' theory just doesn't float, in my opinion.
I applaud people who watch movies for the love of it and not based on reviews. I loved this movie when it first came out and still do.
When this movie came out. Reviews weren't as big of a deal to most people. Miss those days
Ive never cared for reviews, especially ones from that rotten tomatos crap site. Too many times I've seen movies slammed with negative reviews and yet those same movies are amazing and I still re-watch them while other movies are praised in their reviews and yet they freaking suck horribly.
Something about the ending is just unsettling knowing they were under an ocean the whole time
That was such a great WTF moment, didnt saw it coming.
I thought it was a great twist.
Initially I must admit I didn't want to watch it when it came out (not a genre I'm really into) but this movie was actually really good.
It was disturbing to think that they’ve slept so long all the stars died out, but thankfully that’s just the darkness of the ocean
@@jcdenton3512 Thankfully?! Doesn't it imply they would all suffocate/drown?
Momchil Andonov they have escape pods tougher than modern day deep sea submarines I’m sure they’re fine, probably.
The closest thing to Dead Space we'll ever see on screen.
(Not counting "Mutant Chronicles")
Dimetropteryx Thank man I’ve searching for that movie quite some time
Adding another one for my list right under Poltergeist cause i dont remembet it.
But the thing though
@@deathserpent9747 It's a pretty bad movie, but it has the equivalent of a Marker and necromorphs.
@@Dimetropteryx i'll just move it down the list right above the sonic movie
I think this is a great movie! Very underrated as well.
Couldn't agree more! Thought so for 10 years
I took a look at the reviews and decided to disregard them, because reviewers suck. This movie is great.
The ending was the biggest, "Sike, you thought" moment ive ever seen.
Prolly cause its made in another country.
This was good movie because after watching it immediately after i thought about a Robert Heinlein’s Orphans of the Sky, which has same plot. And including good sci-fi plot we have really good production!
I loved this movie and was surprised to see it had negative reviews. The ending where they surface from the ocean of the new planet is still one of favorites of all time, it's just so hopeful.
Yes! I love that. Death and despair and then at the end, new found hope and a new life. Really makes me want to see what happened after they emerged onto the planet. I think there’s a gigantic untapped resource right there if someone handled it correctly. Highly underrated. I want more movies like this. Creative and not so much about flash and thrills but still pulls at your heart the whole time.
Right like after 900 years ;crash landing in the ocean and surviving cannibal mutations, the human race lives on and finally starts on the new planet. Was dope
There's actually some people who believe that Pandorum is set in the same universe as Event Horizon, and honestly it wouldn't be too far fetched.
Yeah I'd buy that. I got an Even Horizon-esq feel from it as well when I first saw it.
@King 0f Gotham True, different themes, but I was talking about sharing the same Universe, which could potentially be the case.
Ooo
Maybe the events in Pandorum inspired the wormhole idea?
Yes I could believe that. Instead of using warp or gravity drive they use good old fashion slow 🐌 speed. But remember. There is nothing left of Earth.
yea well thats false, because in one movie, there is a supernatural aspect, "like opening a portal to hell" and the other, which is pure science based, " humans who have genetically evolved to become cannibalistic hunters in the bowels of a ship over 8 generations" .. i dont know "who" these people are belieiving that, but they couldnt be more wrong in their belief. One movie has no relation to the other, aside from some jump scares.
I loved how the mutants were a constant threat, like everyone was afraid of them the whole movie it really added an edge to it that kept me really invested. It took 3 humans to take down one, these things were no joke
Antje Traue is utter perfection. She steals the movie and I wish we had more appreciation posts about her, she's fucking beautiful.
She's one hot Kryptonian soldier!
She should have been Wonder Woman imo
One of my most favorite underrated sci-fi movies of all time. They were supposed to make a sequel, but couldn't get the funding. ☹
I’ve seen shittier movies than this one...and they had a pretty big budget.
thanks to the fucking critics
@Darren Rice There was supposed to be a prequel and a sequel. Maybe events leading up to the launch of the ship and its malfunctioning and sinking in the water, and what happened after day one on the new planet?
@Darren Rice Of course the sequel wouldn't have dangerous cannibal mutants on a failing ship unless some of them managed to escape. There were many dangerous criminals, though. Earth is gone, so it could tell about humanity starting on a new planet, if they salvaged any technology or genetic samples from the ship, and if there were any other dangers to overcome on the new planet. A prequel could better explain what led to the ship's launch, and the destruction of Earth. I would like to see both if they ever made them.
@Darren Rice
A sequel will be how human thrive on the new planet and dealing with new threats
Best line in the whole film was from Dennis Quaid when he was off camera and yelled "this thing really does land itself" I belly rolled laughing
I honestly love this movie but it’s really underrated and I feel like very little people have seen it. 8/10
I've never even HEARD of it till now :(
Mistah Bryan that’s what I mean go and watch it when you get a spare couple hours it’s really great I would genuinely say it is on par or even better than the first aliens movie, not as ground breaking but definitely as original.
"very little people have seen it" - Midgets watch movies like normal people! They're not that special. Lmao
Gabriel Blas omfg I just laughed my ass off, I thought you were starting some shit but no it’s just s joke 😂
but think/or imagine if you were first to wake up, could you establish your self as a leader, or a god on the new planet and pioneer your own religion?
Incredible Film so underrated
I fucking love this movie
@@ja--getti6593
Word 👍
The "Crawl Through the Vent" scene is brutal on claustrophobics.
When Nadia said "Holy fuck" at the reactor's core, this line kinda blew my mind.
These were such a good words to describe what Bower was doing at the bottom of the reactor.
Just wow.
I watched this movie on DVD too and I liked it a lot... I don't usually go after critics review because of the set criteria they have to work with... This movie definitely deserves a cult status....
Honestly the actual usefulness of critics has decreased significantly since the use of the internet as a method so anyone can give a review. It's devolved into a psuedo profession and they rarely seem to be able to make decent reviews nowadays
"This movie definitely deserves a cult status....
"
And it has one!
@@nossasenhoradoo871 to an extent. Not as much as it deserves, which is his point.
Man this film has been close to my heart since i was but a teenager. Thanks for covering this incredibly underrated film!
I always thought the twist ending was amazing
OMG! me too
This is the very first movie I ever streamed. It was one of the first movies to stream on Netflix. Me and a few friends watched it on the original Xbox 360 Netflix app which actually allowed you to invite your friends to the movie through your friends list. You and your buddies Xbox live avatars would sit in front of the movie screen as if they were at a theatre and you could do emotes and goof around. Now that's a relic of streaming history.
Bro that sounds epic
damn, pandorum you scary
family guy narrator
Haha nice!
Need more survival sci-fi movies like this. Greatly underrated genre.
Basically suffered the same fate as Event Horizon, two amazing sci-fi movies that were badly reviewed when released but were appreciated much later.
I so wish I could have seen the original cut of Event Horizon.
Never cared about reviews and critics. I loved this movie and still do. One of my all time favorites.
Thanks for reuploading this. I stayed away from the movie because of reviews but my buddy convinced me to watch it. One of my favorite scifi movies now.
Critics: Bad Movie
Me: I don't give a fuuuck
Yup that is usually me too
If critics say its bad its usually the opposite same goes with them praising something
@@donpepe8440 Yup the praised the movie Sunshine i hated it for me it was just the fact that non of the characters even noticed a few details and even then they had a chance to win survive and get back home and well the last two decided oh well we just gonna stand inside of the "****" wrote it this way as to not set off red flags or warnings because even if we are talking about a movie people could be going crazy on purpose for just not liking what i said you know now a days so they decide to just stay there knowing what will happen for me they should have tricked character locked him in then released that **** into the sun and went back home not sure though
yep, but this one is bad. I like it too, but just 'cos there isn't anything better.
the premise of the movie was really interesting. just badly executed. if the script was put in the hands of a talented director, it would have easily been a huge hit
"bunch of prisoners sent to another planet"
Me: So... Australia ????
...in space
@@SamuelBlack84 under water mate
This movie is a hidden jem. In an era where we feel like we have seen it all this one put enough variety into it to make a solid sci-fi flick.
Easily my favorite movie. The atmosphere it creates is incredible
Pandorum felt like an 80s scifi similar to aliens. Then it dropped that concept for mental gymnastics for multiple plot twists. I was upset it stopped being thriller turned more into drama.
This is one hell of a movie,not a dull moment in it,I watch it alot, watching Nadia never gets old.
Bru the twist at the end is unbelievable. This film is heavily underrated
Thanks for the re-upload! I thought I remembered seeing a video by you already for this one. Either way, I loved this film when I first saw it. Very underrated, indeed.
I kid you not, only yesterday I was thumbing through your channel looking for the old video. I was talking it up to a friend, so your timing couldn't be better!
hey niyat hope youre doling better! just wanted to say thanks for doing some content on pandorum, it is easily one of my favorite films. i was but a young lad when this movie came out and i just bat dead space 1, so the locked on a ship horror vibe of this film was perfect!
I agree with the idea that it's underrated.. I loved the idea of space paranoia and monsters combined in the film..
i cant stop rewatching this movie, i feel like watching it everyday, if i was a billionaire i would fund the prequel and sequels just for my personal view, i dont even care how well they do in box office
Me too
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! I have seen the movie many times and yet there ' were' lot of gaps and unanswered questions that you have answered.
Pandorum and event horizon are my two favourite spaceship movies
Can you recommend some other movies?
Just watched both of them this weak
@@Akhtar93 alien
Agreed, great movie... I met Dennis Quaid once at a movie shoot he was on in San Pedro Ca. about 9 years ago. A down to Earth guy with that annoying "Actor Ego". I asked if we could talk about his roles in Pandorum and Wyatt Earp as Doc. Holliday. He enjoyed both roles but found that playing "Doc" was a little hard due to the weight had lost in order to appear gaunt. He had to self sequester when meal time came to help avoid craft services. We talked for about 10 or 15 minutes, it was good.
I watchee this movie with my stepdad a long time ago. I remember two scenes in particular. The first being being where that guy gets his throat cut by a child cannibal with a spear or other bladed weapon. I remember it so vividly because at the time i was afraid to watch Horror movies. And although i think this falls more under the umbrella of sci fi and survival in space, the dark atmosphere and psychological elements were almost too much for me to take at the time. Lucky for me we watched it during the day. But i remember that scene because of something he said to me. "Behind every sheep there is a lion" and that stuck with me. Even though i was a kid, i knew exactly what he meant by those words and that partially shaped me into the person I am today. Because i know not to trust or underestimate people based on their appearance. Because that same little boy you're hugging today could stab you in the back in the future.
The other scene i remember quite more fondly is the cooking scene. And it's all due to one line....
"Taste kinda like uhh.... hmmm. Herb and buttered dog shit."
When we first heard that line, my stepdad and i laughed for like a straight 2mins. I said to him laughing, "wait how does know what that tastes like?" And he said "well we don't know how long he's been on that ship!"
Sometime later i asked him if he wanted to watch the movie again and he started grinning and said "wait you just wanna hear 'buttered dog shit' again!" And then we both started laughing.
The only other time i can recall him laughing so hard was when we watched the medicinal fried chicken episode of south park. The part where Randy accidentally knocked his balls out of the wheelbarrow and started bouncing all the way home.
Love these videos. Whenever I watch a movie, I find myself more interested in how the circumstances of the movie came to be.
Love your vids ❤ Keep up the awesome works!
@FilmComicsExplained Thank you so much for detailing this extremely *underrated* movie!
I mean its pretty much Dead Space/Doom-esque scifi galore but on a movie theatre, captures the humans desperate momments on a stranded(?!) ship
This movie surprised the hell outta me when I first saw it. I'll have to watch it again sometime because of how good this video was. Keep it up my dude 👍
Another reason I never listen to the so called "Critics" reviews! This movie was great!
Yeeeeeeessssss! This was one of ny favorite movies growing up. My online name is based off it! Thank you soo much for exploring this one!
That was a brilliant overview. I found a movie i somehow missed, that I'm clearly going to love, so thanks. ✌
It’s true, it’s a bloody good movie
I just looked up Pandorum Explained and was expecting a video that was 10 years old... but I got a recent video! Thanks!
Love this Film. Thank you FilmComicsExplained
Hey bro love the videos...this was a bad ass movie..and this reupload is dope
I rate this magnificent film alongside Alien and The Thing as one of the top ten scariest Scifi Horrors of all time!
Very few films get your heart pumpimg like this film did on first viewing!
Totally agree on how this was reviewed man, one of my all time favorite horror sci fi flicks. Love the video!
I use you videos as a review for movies to actually watch. More times than not, I'm pausing the video mid way and checking hulu/ netflix. Great stuff 👍
This needs a sequel, bring Ben back
Oh snap I’m early ! I thought this was a old upload with UA-cam’s odd recommendation recommending it to me again.
brilliant movie.
watched it 5 times.
can't understand why it isn't more popular 👍
Thanks for responding to this request!!
Bruh I remember accidentally watching this a kid and my dead ass is so scared but kept watching till the end because its so good lol
I love ur vids man!
Off today and Bingewatching all of your videos. Thank you
I love you man always glad to see these goodies!!!
That's one of many reasons I don't listen to the film critics or any other negative comments. This happens to be one of my favorite films of all time. Movies rarely scare me anymore, but there are occasions such as this film. Guess I'm part of a cult now!!! Great review and really like your channel, thanks!
A good one to rewatch every once and a while
Seen like five of your videos, just thought I’d let you know this is the one where I subbed. 🤷🏽♂️
Thx for pumpkin these vids
♥
I found this gem of a movie a week ago, its definitely something i will watch again with some friends.
This is one of my favorite scifi films, to the point of watching it rather often since first seeing it.
I’m so glad you did this one, I loved this movie and it is an underrated gem in my opinion.
Watched and love this movie now thanks to you Niyat ❤️
This was really an amazing movie. I have watched it many times. A series would be good to watch.
I always liked this movie and I had hoped there would be a follow up about the world they went to.
Man this film sounds awesome! Thanks bro
One of my favorite sci-fi movies of all time, with an insane twist.
People here saying it's underrated. Man, I wish I watched this movie sooner. I don't know anything about this movie!
I love me some of these underrated sci-fi movies.
Glad to see this return to your channel! Can you also cover the horde of carnivorous spiders from 'The Guardians of the Tomb' (2018)?
I agree completely and am so grateful that you have brought attention to this forgotten jem 😄
I was like Pandorum again!? Then I thought ,"who cares". And proceeded to watch the video lol
Me too lol
Pandorum is one of the missed hits I love. This movie deserves so much more love then it got.
Yo man love your videos keep up the great work! Have a question are going to do a video about the virus in the days gone game? I hope so!
This film really was fantastic- I loved the visuals and setting
Such an underrated gem.
My god a horror sci fi with a great ending how have I not seen this
It’s an amazing ending and just movie altogether! Check it out ! Use look movies or flixtor
Love this flick. Watch it occasionally enjoying it afresh each time!
I stumbled across this movie by accident and I’m glad. Has become a favorite of mine over the last 8-9 years.
I really liked the movie as well. It's atmosphere and plot twists had me re-
watch it a couple of times since.
One of my favorite movies
I love it!
To this day Pandorum is still one of my favorite sci-fi survival horror films! I would love to see a Prequel!
Great film great sets with great performances and a story that unravels so well. Highly underrated
I just noticed that this movie is basically dead space. The ship. The insanity and the atmosphere. Right?
Not an all time great movie, but a really underrated sci-fi film. At times it was fantastic.
My simple little brain is too weak to bear and process all of the information packed in this movie. I watched it years before watching this explain. And I remember I was so scared, overwhelmed, and confused back then as well.
*Please* do Europa Report. It’s criminally underrated and deserves so much more attention than it’s gotten.
When I played Dead Space, it reminded me of this film and it was one of my favorites. I know Dead Space took inspiration more from Event Horizon but still one of the best space horror films out there.
it is very underrated movie. never get old and i always rewatch it a few time after i got no movie left to watch and it still amaze me how good it really is.
Same I love it so much. The creep just don't wear out even though you already know what's gonna happen. I love it !
Same here lol and event horizon
Thank you very much for your work! I really enjoy your thoughts! J
I watched it many years ago and it’s still stuck in my mind. Loved the twist ending, I thought the plot was well thought out and the thrill was definitely there. A good movie. Really underrated.
