For critics, Pandorum has been like an alien in the ventilation shafts – it’s on the radar, heading towards them, but they just can’t see it, no matter how hard they try.

I loved ‘Alien’ and ‘Event Horzion’ (for it’s being stupid) and – of course – Stanley Kubricks ‘2001’. But I’m also not sure if ‘Pandorum’ can catch up with them or will become one of the ‘funny’ space-movies. What do you think of this films? What’s your favorite space-movie?
