[Chinatownbiznes]

It truly is, dont go off nostalgia folks.

Pandorum?

[Sick Of It All]

I think Event Horizon is better than Pandorum.

Far from crappy, no matter your feelings it is still a better movie than alien.

[Sick Of It All]

LOL

Maybe those are your feelings, reality is far from how you feel though.

No it's not.

Is there some actual reason you think it's better than a Sci-Fi classic like Alien?

More suspense, more mystery, better pay off, better acting.

I was going to flame the hell out of this thread considering Alien is one of the greatest horror films of all time... but unfortunately I have never seen Pandorum so it wouldn't be fair.


So I am downloading Pandorum as we speak, then tonight I am going to watch it and the second it is over... this thread is mine.

[DamnGoat]

I've never seen it either so I can't say whether it's better or not, but I'm willing to bet it's NOT better than Alien.

[Chinatownbiznes]

I said not to go off nostalgia and that is exactly what you guy are doing. You're only sayin alien is better because it is considered a classic.

Let's see...

On Rotten Tomatoes:

Pandorum: 30%

Alien: 97%

On MetaCritic:

Pandorum: 28

Alien (technically The Director's Cut, since MetaCritic doesn't seem to do old movies): 83


I think it's safe to say you're alone, though perhaps Dennis Quaid agrees with you.

And you've only given broad generalities. You can't just shout down every argument against what you knew would be an unpopular position by claiming they're all based in nostalgia, or offer up such ridiculously useless evidence as "this is better and that is better and this is better and that is better." Okay, you think it's better. So what? Worse than going off of nostalgia, you're taking the enlightened, guy-who-is-smarter-than-to-fall-for-nostalgia stance, and doing so without using a single detailed argument.

Pandorum was okay... the aliens were stupid, the story was annoying, and the acting was pretty bad.
