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 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.

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.

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.

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.
