Battle for Pandora

Arvidmslusarczyk states that Pandora, which is a moon, cannot look like a planet, such as Earth. This is incorrect. A great example would be Saturn's moon Titan. Titan has a strong atmosphere and a surface with lakes and rivers. No plant life because of the freezing temperatures but could be possible in the future.

Also, mproffesa giving this film a 9/10 doesn't help this film. It is not a 9/10 in any shape or form, and that's fine. I've seen limited budget films that didn't attempt to be more than they were while simultaneously givng a moral viewpoint based on the limitation of its budget(s). The poor costuming and set designs could have been overlooked by many if the dialogue was actually accurate within the subject matter in which they are speaking about. Dialogue, in such regard, is more important than those two things. The film, as a whole: says nothing. It's overdramatic, poor acting, set design, costuming; and all that together creates a boring atmosphere. It's an insult to give it a 9/10, and just makes people think you worked on the film or friends with filmmaker(s).

It's a skip for most.

I watches this on SCI FI channel. These days they only show crap like this.

First let me say that actors did do ok. Camera work was also ok. And effects ware also good for B movie. I saw worse. That is why I gave it 3 star.

Now I know it is mockbuster of the Abyss and Avatar franchise but they could try a bit better.

I really hate neoprene bondage-lite suits, pipes from walmart, sportbike gloves....and that should be space suit? And they glow blue when healty, red when not healty...They look stupid.

Not to mention script. Dialog is crazy. Let me make an example. On the planet after shooting: "we have armor piercing holow points". WTF? When it comes to bullets hollow point bullet and armor piercing are exactly the oppsite. Who write this stuff and why??? It is just pointless.

And why not use some interesting looking modern real guns insted of stupid things that they used in the movie. In combination with Walmart made suits and cheap effect plus bad writing it was fiasco that even actors could not save.

Most actors did try the best. Respect to them. They did good. But you cant do magic with bad script and crapy music.

So I've entitled this review Mythology:

Simply because one of the American actors in this film can quite clearly be heard making the verbal mistake between two words and quite possibly descriptions of mythology the study of ancient history and the study of pathology he obviously doesn't know the difference between either.

Otherwise somebody would have picked him up on it this fela needs to go back to school particularly and read some Greek stories.

Because if he knows anything about reading and writing at all and he will most definitely have heard the story about Pandora's box given to a young woman called Pandora by the Greek gods and so on.

Thank goodness he got that part of the story right.

Automatically he should have known that Pathology is the study of deceased cadavers.

That's why hospitals and some police stations have Pathologists. And Universities have Mythologists.

Shortly after the dreadful acting became far to painful to be bothered to laugh at any longer. I decided to hammer that big ol' down vote 👎 and come do a short review.

Tom Sizemore is one of those actors who hit it big in one or two movies and burned out quick as can be. Sizemore really hit the skids for a while. Only now he needs a quirky role from a good director to get him back in the saddle.

For now he's relegated, like a number of other actors, to roles like this. Taking the part for a short work schedule and collecting the cash. He's been mking a ton of these every year and none of them are good.

It winds up being sad rather than uplifting.

This movie is cheaply made and just dreadful. Maybe it's a little better than someof his other recent roles where it's clear he's just walking through to collect some cash.

Can't recommend tho.

And then I see the space suits. But let me tell you the good part first. The actual introduction and the credits was very nice. And some of the buildings and things on the ground and the special effects were so so. However those spacesuits.

I felt like I was watching Lost in Space or something. Maybe Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea?

I'm sure there's some good looking space suits, in a movie supply house somewhere. Aside from that it wasn't so bad. I mean hey they're dealing with limited budget I understand that.

But simple things like camera angles and such could have been better. Once they got inside it went much better. But before then it looked like they were in the some Lagoon somewhere. Hey I'll give him an A+ for effort.
