Pandorum opened

This isn't coming from me because as you may have figured out, horror is not my thing. I've outsourced this post to my horror/sci fi go to power couple, Charlie and Theresa. What they tell me is "Pandorum" is worth hiring the babysitter and plunking down the 12 bucks. This is a deep space horror story, perhaps in the "Alien"/"Aliens" and "Outland" vein. Two astronauts wake from a suspended state but don't know where they are or what there mission is. Much deep space pandemonium ensues, or so I'm told. I can tell you that the director, a young German filmmaker named Christian Alvart is considered to be one of the five most promising faces of the new German Cinema. I guess the old faces of German Cinema are all dry and wrinkly now. Anyway, my horror guys on the street give it a thumbs way up.
