The Novelty and cliché breaking concepts will be realized when the movie credits zoom out but it doesn't mean that this movie is out of clichés - because the concept as it is driven by a clichéd story formula. There has been numerous movies which had tried to replicate ALIEN but not even the sequels to ALIEN could justify the masterpiece. Pandorum is a clone of a zombie/aliens movie set in a space ship and hence even though it offers surprises, the audience have seen it all in many movies/series and hence eventually turn out to be the slower parts of this movie. The places where Pandorum shines are the editing, screenplay and casting. There are moments where CGI shows up B-grade quality but is amp-ed with the editing and screen presence of the actors and this definitely sets the bar high for this movie. I watched it on Netflix, years after its release and this movie definitely holds up well after 8 years! Therefore i give it an 8 out of a 10!
