I call Ben Foster "Crazy Ass" because for awhile he had a tendency to show up in movies I really enjoyed in parts where he was just fucking nuts...see 30 Days of Night,3:10 to Yuma,Hostage,Alpha Dog (this one he was balls to the wall bat shit fuckin crazy in)...I like his acting he just has a way to be pretty damn intense in certain roles and thats a good thing.
Well in Pandorum,his craziness is lowered a bunch of notches and he is basically a normal dude in this,which is fine,I'm sure he doesnt want to get typecast anyway (from what I hear his movie The Messenger is another role that he plays very somber and reserved role in that one too,its supposed to be a very good flick)...thats cool and all,but Ben come on now,ya gotta bring the craziness back some!!
Pandorum isnt a bad movie.Its about a bunch of space colonist on a voyage to a new planet that are "sleeping" because their voyage takes fuckin years to get there,so they are in suspended animation till they get there....well unfortunately they dont ever get there...Crazy Ass Ben Foster wakes up by accident and cant remember anything (that evidently is supposed to be normal) well as he is getting his senses about him,out of no where pops up Dennis "I USED TO HAVE SEX WITH MEG RYAN WHEN SHE WAS HOT" Quaid (he's a bit off kilter in this one) anyways they try to get the ship going again towards where it needs to go...all well in good,but there is something else on the ship...aborigines!!! Well not really but there are some cannibal like creatures running around chasing Crazy Ass Ben Foster all over the ship like a sailor on shore leave chasing a Philippino prostitute.
Theres more to the movie but I'm not writing a catharsis on the fucker.I'll just say that if you like movies like Alien and Event Horizon,you'll probably like this one. Its not as good as either of those,but its still a very fun little flick. It looks really nice and will probably look exceptional on Blu Ray....so if you can get a good deal on it to buy it, if its your kind of thing,if your a tight ass and dont buy dvd's/Blu Rays and just rent or do the ...ahem illegal stuff that we wont talk about,still check it out.
