1.5/4
"A gorgeous production design can't save the picture from trying too hard to dazzle with very little inspiration, and while Pandorum is easy to stare at, it can be a seriously punishing sit."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  Brian Orndorf

0/4
"An unusually unpleasant and unwatchable sci-fi endeavor..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

"It couldn't keep my attention for even a nano second."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"By the time one of the creatures tosses a character a pipe and they proceed to martial arts fight, it's safe to presume that a shark has been jumped and there is no turning things around."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

F
"So bad it ought to be based on a video game."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2.5/4
"too much of the film devolves into hectic action sequences that makes you feel like someone suddenly dropped you into a blender and turned out all the lights"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

"The sci-fi bits compensate for the unoriginal horror stuff (sorta). And when nothing else is of interest one can always stare at German actress Antje Traue's cleavage . . ."  fantastiqueZINE  James O'Ehley

"Parental Content Review"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

1/5
"As the credit “Produced by Paul W.S. Anderson” attests, this is hackwork of the highest order, lacking in all poetry and barely comprehensible aurally or visually."  Time Out New York  Keith Uhlich

"Cobbled together from chunks of Battlestar Galactica, The Descent, Serenity, Cube, Resident Evil, Event Horizon and Alien ... Pandorum is an efficient scare machine if you ignore the plot contrivances."  Horror Hacker  Maitland McDonagh

1/3
"Se anuncia como la nueva obra de los creadores de Resident Evil; a pesar de que no es algo de lo que estar orgulloso, ayuda bastante a resumir la impresión que produce"  Off-Off-Critica  MalaBesta

1.5/4
"The further Bower journeys into the spacecraft's bowels, with Payton providing navigation tips from back in their original sleep chamber, the less Pandorum unnerves."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1.5/5
"An appalling script is only one problem with this loud, chaotic sci-fi thriller. It's also directed in such a deliberately confusing way that it's not only impossible to follow the action, but it's impossible to care about the characters."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

1/5
"Clenches its teeth grimly as it blunders through its overstuffed plot."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

D
"Remember the scene in Star Trek where Dr. McCoy talks about all the horrible ways you can die in space? Pandorum is basically a visual aid for that speech."  Mania.com  Rob Vaux

3/5
"There are numerous problems with Pandorum, including some really bad dialogue, corny sequences, poorly-written characters and a clunky twist. What works, though, and works well enough to eke out a recommendation as a B-thriller, is the sense of isolation."  DVDTalk.com  Tyler Foster
