Battle for Pandora

This is a cheap movie! Acting os so bad and the effects very poor! Costumes are not good and looks like chaep materials. I stopped watching. I wonder how much money they put in this movie but i guess it wil be not much. Story wlould be much better if the movie looked way better. This is just really sad!

Like comments before it is just a new level of bad and dreadful!

Maybe other caracters playing this would work out better and a better scenario. It looks cheap..sounds cheap and feels cheap to watch. Just one of the rhings.. Look at the masks on their heads.. It looks likes it is glued together or melted in a way you see that the effort they did was also like nothing.

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.

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.

A low-budget scifi movie from the Asylum, even if you look through blue glasses, this is still a poor movie. Although you can expect that shortcuts have to be made with a low budget, wearing a dive suit instead of a space suit is completely understandable. However, at the start of the first scene twice open skin is flashed (1:12, 1:45) in outer space. That is even before the three actors are introduced and the story is started.

Luckily, the cinematography (blue haze of Pandar), clothing (colonel is overdressed, whereas the head of disease control is dressed like a 90ish porn star going to the office) and special effects aren't the most laughable part of the movie. The dialogues are even worse. The sentences are illogical and the acting differs. Some of the actors are playing it a more normal way, others are completely overacting their emotions to an absurd level (drs Jennifer). Second to the dialogue are the scene settings, there is apparently an emergency and yet the actors are coolly entering the scene holding a cup of coffee while they were summoned to the Space agency (without any indications except the urgency of the request). It just makes no sense.

I could only watch for the first thirty odd minutes. The drawbacks of the movie as i described were too much. The only thing i could find mildly amusing was Tom Sizemore. He wasn't acting great (i wonder who could with the story and the dialogues) but he was entertaining. Especially when discussing the AI.

As described by others, it does look like a high-school play/movie. It was to be expected, but for me, it was just a bit too much.

I guess this is a mockbuster of Avatar 2 but the only thing the two movie have in common is that the place is called Pandora. It had the feel of an unrelated sci-fi script that had the Pandora clumsily pasted on. It's pretty clear that the moon of Pandora was originally an asteroid for example. The spaceships look decent but all of the other effects are really cheap and bad. The water effects somehow look much worse than they did in The Abyss in 1989. The alien moon of Pandora is clearly just California with a blue filter. They don't even try to make it look alien. The director seems to believe that shouting=intensity. The characters are CONSTANTLY SHOUTING. Almost every line of dialogue is SHOUTED AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS. The only actor who seems to know that his character is supposed to be in the military or something is Tom Sizemore. None of the other characters are at all believable as either military or scientists. They come across as more like a bunch of teenagers BLURTING out whatever comes into their minds AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS. The plot is stupid. The reveal is stupid and you will see it coming a mile ahead of time anyway. That is if you decide to waste your time watching this thing. I would recommend not doing that.
