I completely agree with one of the reviewers on the point that this is one of the creepiest found footage movies. But, as usual, I don't know why it was so underrated i.e with only 5.1 rating, whereas craps like Blair witch Project, are highly praised. Usually I am not a fan of found footage movie, especially the movies based on religious beliefs. But this movie is an exception. The 1932 segment was filmed excellently, to give an authentic historical touch. Since it is the core of the movie, everything fits well in it's place, in the movie, making it more and more creepy. Fans of good horror, must not miss this movie.

I always wonder what's wrong with people when they reject a genuine movie like Pandorum. It's quite disheartening when we realize that those people who made trash movies like Jaws, a box office success, also made excellent movies like Pandorum, a flop. Because, the plot is original, to the best of my knowledge; the acting is okay and the special effects are good. This movie is not like Aliens; not like Event Horizon; but different in all aspects. This is not a disaster movie. So the climax is satisfactory. Yet, it's a huge flop which made the production company, bankrupt in the next year. I really felt sad for the producers, who faced the outcome of box office collection. My verdict is that those who love space sci-fi horror, should not miss this movie.

Kudos to the director, for making such a great sci-fi. His intelligence reflects from the fact that even though it's supposed to be a remake, he has developed the plot independently, only with the core idea of the original film. Since sci-fi movies are very rare in Tamil, it is very enjoyable to watch such a clever sci-fi movie. I watched this only reluctantly, as I had already watched Coherence, the original movie. To my surprise, this remake movie is far more superior than the original movie, which is a rare phenomenon. The original movie offered no solid explanation, whereas this movie offered certain explanation for what was happening in the movie, which is definitely acceptable. The only drawback I felt was, the minimal cast in the remake movie. If there were more characters in the movie, as in the original, it would have been more fun. Otherwise, the movie is completely enjoyable.
