Pandorum (2009)
9/10
Much better than Alien Covenant.
18 May 2021
I first saw this in 2010 on a dvd which I own.

Revisited it recently.

This one is a solid genre mashup n combines the elements of horror, action, science fiction n survival thriller in an amazing way.

The creatures in this movie is a cross between the cave mutants from The Descent and the violent tribe from Doomsday n Mad Max.

I feel Alien Covenant borrowed elements from this movie.

In Pandorum, Gallo created a "new world" in a wild and primitive state where "life eats life". He created the mutants on purpose.

In Covenant, A. I. played by Fassbender created aggressive life forms.

In Pandorum, 60,000 passengers plus crew members board an interstellar ark, the Elysium, headed for an another planet to colonize it. Because of the length of the trip, the passengers were all placed in extended hypersleep.

In Covenant, the ship Covenant is headed for a planet Origae-6, with 2,000 colonists in stasis and 1,140 human embryos in cold storage.
