PAUL WS Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt haul the sets of their 1997 collaboration Event Horizon out of storage and give them a new lick of paint for this deep space thriller directed by Christian Alvart (Antibodies).
The nightmare is as much for the two-dimensional characters as for us because Pandorum is a headache-inducing game of cat and mouse in a labyrinth of dimly lit tunnels that pales next to Alien and its sequel.

Alvart’s film might be tolerable if the action sequences were well orchestrated.
However, editor Philip Stahl seems to have a nervous twitch and cuts everything so furiously, even the most simple chase is reduced to an incomprehensible blur.
Essentially an hour and a half of running and screaming interspersed with graphic scenes of dismemberment as hunters swarm over the survivors.
