Michl Britsch always does great music. This piece is such a brilliant accompaniment to the film though. It sums up the desperation and gloom of the story so nicely.
IronRooRoo Did...did you even bother to read what I wrote!? Because from your responses it appears as if: A. you completely missed the fact that DevilMayhem666 and I were looking at the similarities/differences between the allegory, archetypes and tropes in the films. (On a completely literal level the differences between the films are painfully easy to spot. But give yourself a pat on the back for figuring them out.)
Or B. you're a trolling, miserable moron with the IQ of an ant, which judging by your responses to other posters, is probably the most likely answer.
You obviously haven't learnt what 'Gothic imagery/styling' is then have you? Go wiki it. Both movies have gothic styling and undertones. This is also smack in your face obvious and pretty basic stuff, and you still manage to miss the mark completely.
@bratHOHOL It's not like Dead Space at all. Dead Space has mindless, mutated reanimates made by an alien artefact. It takes place on a corporate mining vessel, meaning Earth has branched out to occupy the solar system and beyond.
Pandorum, has monsters created by an evolutionary accelerant, adapted to the ship rather than a planet as intended. Also, the Elysium is the only known location where humans remain (Earth is blown up and no other generational ships are mentioned).
@OneDeviousBastard the idea was great but it wasnt told in a correct way and critics want a story which is good and has a good visual and narrative quality.
@DevilMayhem666 well thats your opinion. To me the movies were similar in more ways than one. They both revolved around man confronting physical manifestations of his worst excesses. Both relied heavily on the interplay between threats both internal and external. The vessels of man kind's salvation (Event Horizon, Elysium) instead become the instrument of his doom. The Weir/Payton protagonist turned antagonist becomes the architect of man's destruction after submitting to the shadow archetype.
@DragStrip04 The the 'essence' or catalyst of the corruption that grips the ship is revealed through a vessel of the evil (Event Horrizon's former crew/Gallo). The Bower/Miller character is forced to confront the shadow archetype the Weir/Payton character fell victim too, but unlike the antagonist is triumphant. Weir/Payton tries to corrupt Bower/Miller but fails and is destroyed along with the source of his control/power.
Two decent horror scifi movies... though both could have been better.
@DragStrip04 1.Gallo is not the evil. The evil thing was alluding the story of Pandora's Box. 2.Gallo is not a victim of anything. 3. Gallo represents the devil who is known to corrupt people. 4. Elysium didn't become the instrument of their doom. The whole "adapting to the ship" theory was proven false shortly after it was mentioned. 5.Gallo doesn't went to destory man but to bring back to a natural time were life eats life.
@DevilMayhem666I am deconstructing both movies in terms of the tropes and archetypes they use and their similarities. Gallo is 'the evil' in Pandorum, he is the the shadow/evil archetype/trope, a representation and instigator of the degradation of the 'civilised' man. In Event Horizon the hell dimension/Weir is 'the evil' the shadow/evil archetype/trope, and fills the same role in the story that Gallo represents in Pandorum. Gallo was a victim of Pandorum just like Weir was a victim of hell.
@DevilMayhem666 both movies are re-inventions of the pandora's box myth. Gallo represents the devil, just as Weir comes to represent the devil. The Elysium is a representation of man corrupted by the 'unnatural environment' (the hyper sleep which causes Pandorum.) It is even described in the movie as " a whole new world of evil". Likewise the Event Horizon's unnatural nature = corruption, "You break all the laws of physics, and you seriously think there wouldn't be a price?".
@DragStrip04 Pandorum was stated to be an allegory for mankind by the director. Gallo represents both Satan and the god Zeus who both affected human nature itself and made it into an evil world that was destoryed by a flood in the end (the story of Noah's Ark and the end of the bronze age in greek mythology).
@DragStrip04 Physical manifestations? Bower imagines the creature crawling through the vent in the bridge, yes. But the rest are real.
I suppose you think 'manifestations' can cut the Thai guy in half, when Bower isn't even there to imagine it.
I suppose you also overlooked the scene where the creature pushes against the hypersleep pod, and Bower asks 'do you see that?', to which Generic Hot Slut replies 'yes'.
eh, the movie was alright. It was basically just a rehash of Event Horizon right down to the themes and even the visual styling, and for some reason I found Event Horizon to be a more unsettling movie.
The music for Pandorum however... now that was brilliant.
@DragStrip04 A rehash of Event Horizon? LMFAO! That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. This movie's theme is about survival of the fittest and the degradation of the human condition, basically paralleling evolutionism with creationism. Event Horizon was just a crudely excuted reharsh of Solaris and Disney's The Black Hole.
In Event Horizon, technology we see is very 'Aliens'-esque.
In Pandorum, we have much more futuristic looking computer consoles. On the flipside, they also have auxiliary systems which use hand pump power and so on, stuff that is never even hinted at in Event Horizon (or any other Earth-based sci fi tech in movies, for that matter).
In Event Horizon, hypersleep involves submerging in water.
@IronRooRoo It's unfair to take it to that extreme but you can call it a 'spritual sequel' I guess as it's produced by Anderson....just wish that guy would make shit films less often and focus on making good ones like this and event horizon...both are creepy sci fi horrors set in spaceship with twist endings, but that's about all they have in common...
@OneDeviousBastard actually it doesn't. Especially since in the special features of the DVD, Christian Alvert said that this story is original, which it is, and it is centered around one man's journey to find his wife while exploring the mysteries of space and its vastness. not a man's journey home like the Odyssey describes. Plus the creatures in Pandorum are an accident while the cannibals in the Odyssey they were there on purpose. It bears brief resemblance but it's no recreation; it's new.
@Plummlets not by much,theyre both mutated humans who want flesh and are extremely hard to kill.and the protagonist has no idea whats going on and just wants to find theyre wife.ringing a bell?
@zombieswanted, the creatures in Dead Space are corpses reanimated by alien life forms, whereas in Pandorum the creatures are an evolutionary leap of humankind which have adapted to live within the ship they are on....and Nicole was Isaac's girlfriend, not wife.
On a base level they're the same (they're both sci-fi thrillers) but story wise they're quite different. Noted, there are a few similarities, but not a whole bunch.
@Plummlets Actually, that theory of Nadia's was false. Accroding to the backstory, the passengers went mad and turned to cannibalism because Gallo convinced them to do so. They adapted to their animalistic life style.
@Vivisess fuck off, what I saw of dead space is so obviously influenced by Anderson's other classic sci fi horror film Event Horizon...I know Anderson did not direct this time, but it follows on from Event Horizon rather well, like a spiritual sequel of sorts...certainly not inspired by dead space
@Vivisess And you're wrong to begin with, because your grammar is poor. See what I did there? That's called correct usage of 'you're' and 'your'. I'll agree with your opinion when you bother to master the most basic foundations of grammar.
Also, everything can be attributed as a rip off if you look hard enough. Go spear a dick, cunt.
@AgulaMala Actually, it does...consciously or subconsciously this film is obviously influenced by saga/quest-type myths...seems especially so at the end when they end up in a new, green land to form a new race and country...rather like Virgil's Aeneid...
@SROCeallaigh Elysium, which was the resting place for heroes in classical mythology that bordered the River Lethe, the part of the underworld where the memories of "earthly lives" were erased so that souls could be reincarnated--similar to how the characters onboard the Elysium mostly have no memory of their lives on Earth and are even referred to as "heroes". Also, the ending is alot like the beginning of Purgatorio in The Divine Comedy.
@OneDeviousBastard it's not a retelling of any stories, it's about one man's journey to find what he loves most while also discovering the ugly truth of space travel; Pandorum, it's what happens when you fly deep-space for so long.
good movie :P

@DragStrip04 You're a fucking dumb cunt. Very little to do with Event Horizon.
In Event Horizon, we see that humans have branched out to occupy the solar system.
In Pandorum, Earth is gone and the Elysium is the only place (that we know of) that still have humans.
In Event Horizon, the ship became possessed by travelling to a Hellish dimension when experimenting with FTL possibilities.
In Pandorum, enemies are PHYSICAL AND ACTUALLY THERE, made by evolutionary accelerant. No FTL.

@DragStrip04 Again, more:
In Event Horizon, it's a horror story playing on a 'scientific' version of Hell.
In Pandorum, it's a recreation of several mythical stories.
In Event Horizon, the theme is for the crew members to survive (destination: off the Event Horizon).
In Pandorum, the theme is for humanity to survive (destination: Tanis, an earth-like planet).
I'm sorry faggot, but calling it a 'rehash' of Event Horizon, with 'similar themes / visual styling' is stupid.
