100% free of spoilers Pandorum (2009) Christian
Christian Alvart Alvart has been in dry dock since the success of his second film The meeting Antikörper: The Angel of Darkness (Antikörper, 2005), a German production strongly recommended that drinking even tape so trite as The Silence of the Lambs and Seven was able to offer a renewed vision of a well-worn genre.
German filmmaker has made the leap to Hollywood filming two movies this year, Case 39 (Case 39, 2009) which I can not say among other things because I have not seen, and Pandorum (Pandorum, 2009) that is the always underrated producer Paul W. Anderson, the geek with face fucks pantortilla that Milla Jovovich and has signed in the field of science fiction at least two films that I think are excellent, Event Horizon (Event Horizon, 1997) and Soldier (Soldier, 1998) yes , Soldier, any day tell him because of my admiration for this film that it denies to Kurt Russell.
Alvart According account was Anderson who contacted him to offer a script that happens to fit nicely with the draft which had been working the past two years, a science fiction trilogy of metaphysical backdrop Pandorum which would be the centerpiece and I doubt very much that actually materialize given the abject failure that is reaping the film where it opens, a day on a budget of 40 million dollars (which I must say they look as twice) the collection is about sad only 13 million.
The question is are there for so long?
Well not really, as happened with Surrogates (Surrogates, 2009) , we've all seen far worse things to which the critics and audiences have been treated with less cruelty. Thanked
its producer, Alvart building pays homage to the style of the ship which gave its name to the aforementioned Event Horizon, only where that flying was a Gothic cathedral, here the ship, the Elysee, almost unique scenario Pandorum looks like a living organism full of tubes and fluids but without losing the air of industrial decline that was fashionable 30 years ago Alien (Alien, 1979). For lighting
also a powerful reminder that the classic Anderson Alvart green strip filters and whiteners getting this exactly is the strongest point of the film, its visual power, which is based in photography, in the breathtaking scenery that Germany has the hand and in his enthusiastic way of filming.
The plot, without wishing to reveal anything at first seem to be on the roads over a movie Aliens to use, but the director of Frankfurt elements taken soon introduce direct and blatant of Descent (Descent , 2005), Neil Marshall's masterpiece that looks like your model when articulating his speech but without ever reaching the level of suggestion and ambiguity of this, some nods to the game EA Dead Space (see the visions of women's Bower), echoes of the production of animated Titan AE (Titan AE, 2000) and even references to Mad Max (the story on the wall as in the third installment of the warrior the road).
All this mixed in a film that wants to talk about the madness (represented by Pandorum, a fictional disease), Darwinism, God, sin or the duality of man, themes and obsessions that already appeared in Antikörper, but here is all so caked and matted that does not stop functioning, it does not help that the script also is full of loose ends and gaps ("900 years of evolution?) complicated with confusing confusing what a drag that binds to the ridiculous way that we show some characters and conflicts with the intent of the film trascendecia, and I do not mean just the mutants that doctor karateka but that seems taken from Tomb Raider, or the character embodied by Cung Le, world champion kick boxer who is only in history to meet the quota of flying kicks and little else.
Finally, his obsession with playing all the clubs will takes its toll on the tape that if true, it is entertaining for its 108 minutes, but that falls far short of the claims on the other side of the author commendable.
