Battle for Pandora

I opted to watch the 2022 sci-fi movie "Battle for Pandora" solely because I had the chance to sit down and watch a movie that I hadn't already seen.

I have to say that it wasn't a movie that I was harboring any expectations to, as it was a movie from The Asylum and it had Tom Sizemore as the billed actor on the cover.

Yet I opted to give director Noah Luke's 2022 movie a fair chance.

I found "Battle for Pandora" to be a movie that fell entirely short of entertaining me. The storyline, as written by writers Rolfe Kanefsky and Joe Roche, was a rather trivial, mundane and boring one, and the effects in the movie were dubious.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate enough, I suppose. I wasn't really impressed with what I saw. But then again, the actors and actresses didn't really have all that much to work with.

My lack of general interest in the sci-fi genre didn't exactly help to win me over here either.

My rating of "Battle for Pandora" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

I can only imagine that anyone having anything to do with this abomination and actually releasing it upon the American public is currently seeking out a deep dark remote part of this world to hide in shame, remorse and the deep guilt one would undoubtely feel after creating something such as this and calling it a "Movie".

If you paid for this garbage, you have been legally mugged.

Most of the actors are young and have a chance for redemption providing their families, friends and the movie industry acknowledge their existence again.

The older actors no longer care or have any pride in their trade knowing the fact that the American people are being dumbed down enogh to accept this rubbish and just shut up.

Hopefully I didn't hurt anyone's feeeeliiingsss.

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.

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.

Wow, who on earth...or planet Pandora... financed this movie? If I were told this was produced by, written by, directed by, costume and set design by in-coming middle school students I'd give it a pass. Easily the biggest shock is seeing Tom Sizemore. My God, talk about a fall from grace. To think he was in Saving Private Ryan is impossible to consider given this load of jibberish. That said, back to the movie. This movie misses all of the key elements for a solid viewer experience. Those would be a compelling story, great dialog, characters that you grow to care about, set design, costumes, and the MOST important...great acting. If these actors made it into a movie, then there's hope for me to become Hollywood actor too.
