'Pandorum' knows how to scare you

I watched "Pandorum" last night and I have to say it was quite good. That's if you like your sci-fi with a hefty side-order of thrills.

In "Pandorum," astronauts awaken from artificial slumber to discover their memories and crew are missing. Yeah, It falls into some plot conventions, of course, but what movie doesn't have a few of those? 

Across the board, the filmmakers and actors do the job.  Ben Foster, Dennis Quaid, Cam Gigandet, Antje Traue (I can't pronounce her name but she rocked it), Eddie Rouse and Cung Le.  The film evokes imagery that may remind you of "Alien" but it also has a touch of "Pitch Black" ... with more teeth.

It will likely not be the number one movie at the box-office this week and all that stuff.  Many more will probably check out "Surrogates" or "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs."  I may be wrong about that -- we'll see.
