"Pandorum" - premise does not mean plot

Pandorum is a sci-fi horror film. It takes place in the year 2174, when the Earth is overpopulated and people seek to colonize the planet Tanis. However, Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) and Lieutenant Payton (Dennis Quaid) have fallen asleep on their ship, now 500 billion miles from Earth, and awake to find themselves alone and unable to communicate with anyone. They find that some of the crew members on board have been mutated with a disease known as Pandorum.

That's a pretty interesting premise if you ask me, but the film didn't have much plot. I'm not much for horror or sci-fi, but I found the film somewhat enjoyable, and I got a good laugh from some of it. The ending was somewhat surprised, but it still leaves some unanswered questions.

The film got an R rating, which is what you'd expect from a horror film - this time, sci-fi violence. Quite a few swear words are uttered in this film, and some minor nudity (no privates). However, the film is drug-free. However, some may be offended by what sounds like stereotypical Chinese/Asian speech (not played for laughs).

I can't really assign a verdict - what I said should tell you whether you want to see it in theaters, rent it, or not see it at all.
