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.

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.

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.

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 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.
