help Pandorum FAQ
What does pandorum mean in the movie?
In the film, pandorum is a stress-related psychosis associated with long-duration space travel, causing paranoia, disorientation, and violent behavior. The idea turns the crew's mental state into as much of a threat as the ship itself.
Where is Pandorum set?
Most of the story takes place aboard the colony ship Elysium, whose crew wakes after a long period in space. Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster play officers trying to understand what happened while the ship travels toward the planet Tanis.
Is Pandorum more of an alien movie or a psychological horror film?
It uses science-fiction monsters and survival action, but its central mystery is psychological: the characters cannot trust their memories or each other. Christian Alvart directed the 2009 film, which makes the ship's claustrophobic corridors part of the horror.
Who are the main actors in Pandorum?
Ben Foster plays Corporal Bower and Dennis Quaid plays Lieutenant Payton, the two crew members who anchor the investigation. Antje Traue is also prominent as Nadia, and the film was released in 2009.
