Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a spacecraft. It’s pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the spacecraft. They can’t remember anything - who are they, what is their mission? The only way out of the chamber is a dark and narrow airshaft.

Corporal Bower, the younger of the two, crawls inside, while the other, Lt. Payton, stays behind for guidance on a radio transmitter. As Bower ventures deeper and deeper into the ship, he discovers that he and Payton are not alone. Slowly the spacecraft’s shocking and deadly secrets come unravelled, and the astronauts realize that the survival of mankind hinges on their actions.

Antibodies director Christian Alvart takes suspense into space with this tale of two astronauts who realize that they aren’t alone as they drift into the darkest corners of our galaxy. Awakening in their hyper-sleep chamber with no memory of who they are or what their mission is, disoriented astronauts Lt. Payton (Dennis Quaid) and Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) gradually surmise that they are the only ones aboard the darkened spacecraft.

But how did they get here, and what are those strange sounds coming from the belly of the ship? The only way out of their hyper-sleep chamber is a narrow airshaft, and the only one small enough to climb through it is Corporal Bower. As the younger of the two space travelers shimmies inside, the older remains behind to offer guidance on the radio transmitter. But the deeper Corporal Bower ventures into the ship, the more apparent it becomes that something horrible has happened.
Could it be that the survival of the entire human race rests in the hands of these two astronauts stuck on a lonely ship in deep space? ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I’ve seen a few effective motion posters in my day, but none of them come close to delivering the sort of visceral excitement generated by the one currently making rounds for “Pandorum.” It’s loud, it’s graphic, and it perfectly sets the tone for Christian Alvart’s upcoming sci-fi scarefest. If you’re at work, you may want to turn down the volume at bit, lest your co-workers think you’re having a little too much fun in your office. The film is scheduled to bow Stateside on September 25th.
