As humanity overpopulated on Earth because it was fun, resources the planet could offer became more and more scarce over time which resulted in outbreaks of conflicts all over the surface of the world. The larger countries eventually got involved to take these materials which sparked larger and larger issues for everyone as time passed. Eventually it became quite evident that humanity was not going to get this population issue under control and as such, they turned towards the stars hoping to find a new world. When they looked out, they saw potentially an earth like planet called Tanis. Seeing this as their only hope rather than just taking resources from the solar system which seems a little dumb, they built an arc of sorts to head towards Tanis and with it, put 60,000 people on board. However, when the next rotation comes out of hypersleep, they find there are monsters on board hunting them. Who are these monsters and why are they here? Lets discuss that in todays episode!

No Seriously, If Earth is running low on resources, why did we not just start mining Mars or the Moon?: 00:00
Guess the producers of this movie didn't FACTOR in some nerd on the internet asking this!: 1:41
Like you're gonna sit there and tell me, They could build a ship to get to Tanis but not colonize our own solar system first? Bruh what: 02:49
Like did we even try to land on Mars first? There are so many useable resources in our backyard why would we go to another continent?!: 17:37
No, Now I am upset because I only just connected this now rather than in the video. Crap in a hat-Thanks for watching!: 35:47

[@TheZanzibarMan]

Fun fact: this is one of the only sci-fi movies that actually has a real reason why the ship is seemingly always wet inside. It's in an ocean.

[@Vometbomb]

There is a widely utilized concept in science fiction that ships need to create oxygen and to do so would likely require a lot of life support machinery, entire parts of the ship are dedicated to these machines. Theres a likelihood that the oxygen produced and resulting condensation would create high levels of moisture. So, lots of hot machines radiating heat are converting c02 into lots of wet, hot, air and that gets us the sweating crew mates and dripping environments we often see. Plus, liquid hydrogen is the “fuel of the future” do to its ability to exist as a liquid within a vacuum.

[@haplessoperator]

@@Vometbomb That doesn't make any sense. We have to generate oxygen and scrub the waste even now, in existing spacecraft, as well as keep the environment moisture free, cuz moisture corrodes, rusts, and can cause electrical shorts. There's no logical reason at all to have wet, drippy, humid spaceships, cuz it'd be hazardous as fuck and actively dangerous to anyone's survival.

[@thegrimcritic5494]

This movie deserves so much more praise than it gets. The characters in the movie almost never make any dumb decisions, a lot of the issues that impede their survival make sense and feel genuinely daunting, and their solutions to said problems are usually extremely clever or take clear and obvious tolls on them. The fact that the movie’s creators went through the trouble of conceptualizing emergency hand-cranking power generators included with every piece of technology on the ship shows me that a TON of thought was put into the overall production and conception of this film’s premise. One of my favorite horror movies of all time, and an absolutely brilliant spin on the Cosmic Horror subgenre.

[@bluewhitespartan5258]

It is what it is. A mediocre Scifi Horror B-Film.

[@rewmangeorge5957]

Still it has a artist licence all over it, considering how easy was for single guy to screw the whole ship to begin with. No dead man switch controls. No multi-user locks. No passwords. No redundancy modules. And what baffle's me most, no automated, fully mechanical (no electronics, in case of failure) release depending on long term outside readings. But then again, there would be no movie if the quajillion dollar ship had all the neccesary and logical common parts.

[@FalsePips]

It is one of my favorite horror movies of all time and I’ve seen hundreds. I love everything about this movie especially the atmosphere of being in a huge ship navigating through the human-monsters. I watch this movie every couple years it never gets old

Bro, you definitely should read the script for Pandorum. It went into detail about the ship having moss growing on it's walls, the Hunters (which is what they're called in the script) having a pretty complex society and engaging in "Satanic dances" while they killed and ate their prey, and more that really shows just how little was able to be brought to the film. Even so, it's got a place in my heart as one of the best sci-fi movies of the 2000s.

Fun fact: The guy who gets attacked as soon as his pod opens is played by Ben Foster (Bower)'s brother. Also, the captain who receives the message about Earth being lost and the leader of the mutated passengers (the one in the video thumbnail) are both played by the same actor.

[@rogershaftly6976]

I genuinely didn't know that and I know a lot of random movie trivia lol. That's really cool thanks for pointing that out, I like the idea that the original captain was exiled to the reactor either by choice or the other officer and generations later his descendant is the pack alpha leading the hunters presumably due to valuable leadership skills being taught to his children

[@TimedRevolver]

When they merged into one, that was symbolic of his rational mind being overtaken by Pandorum. That's why he was fully insane afterward.

[@thegrimcritic5494]

Another interesting thing I noticed upon repeated viewings. Bowers shows Payton his tattoos but Bowers never actually looks at Peyton’s. The only times we ever see tattoos on Peyton’s arm is after Bower leaves early in the movie.

[@Chris-we7hh]

To clarify that segment, the "Gallo" roaming around isn't actually real, its his real consciousness/personality in "Payton's" mind. Notice how Payton can still hear him after muting him? Basically after Gallo went insane he played God with the creatures and newly released colonists. Over time he got bored and decided to hypersleep until the next batch of crew. He, now as the older Gallo who now looks like Dennis Quaid, then slept inside Payton's pod (he presumably killed him before, or woke him up during his God phase). He then woke up with Bower and with amnesia due to hypersleep, and because he was in Payton's pod he assumed he was the real Payton. The Gallo he talks to is his younger inner self trying to take back his mind from his amnesiac self. After merging he is no longer amnesiac but the complete Gallo from before, its why he was so composed, not hesitating to kill the chef.

This vid was so good! The more I saw those things, to me anyway, look a lot like The Falmer from Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. They were former Snow Elves. To make things really short and simple, they lost a big war against the Nords, and most were driven underground. The last of them were basically forced to take a deal with The Dwemer, just to survive, BUT, there was a HUGE catch, they had to eat this fungus, that turned them blind! After THAT, they were enslaved by the Dwemer! Over time, they slowly de-evolved in to the Falmer we know today. I know I skipped over a lot, but, the basics are there. These creatures just reminded me of the Falmer.

So, a few things: I think the enzyme was meant to make humans more quickly adapt. This could be adapting via quicker reproduction and via introducing more mutations or both. The 800 extra years isn't that the time frame of the trip was wrong, but that the captain "freed" a few of them on the ship while going back to sleep multiple times due to his mental state. This is also why the food supplies are seriously depleted, and also, I believe they mention at some point that one of the ones they found was actually still very young.

I was wondering when you would cover this movie since it was right up your alley. I learned something from it man.

[@Dragon_of_Rampage]

Going through your channel I'm like, boy I hope he's covered that one space movie that I can't remember the title to but I loved, and here it is. You really do it all my dude, thank you~

[@lincolnpascual]

Bro, you have the best metaphors ever . "Like a single mom after two bottles of wine" nearly killed me. I got learn not to eat while watching your videos, one of these days I'm gonna choke and die laughing.

[@FandangoJon]

I adore this movie and would really love a sequel. We need more low to mid budget fun sci-fi.

[@morganfreeaimthebountyhunt7682]

Been waiting for this one!💪😁

Roanoke is easily my favorite channel, some cable exec needs to give this man his own show asap, my guys got talent.

[@oliviaito6307]

Hello there ^w^ Sorry for bothering but i love hearing your voice and your explaining of this kind of things, so was wondering - would you perhaps want to explain a "Monsters" from a movie called "Spectral" (2016) and if perhaps they could exist irl Just curious ^w^

[@Garf_malarf]

I remember seeing this movie on mushrooms…in a theatre. Me and my friends were the only people in there but you would of thought the whole place was packed by the amount of noise we were making. Still haven’t recovered.

LOVE UR STUFF BRO

[@aceundead4750]

Thank you so much for making some things much clearer about this movie

[@cinders5305]

Great video as always Roanoke. I have a question, do you think you may one day cover the Beast Plague from Bloodborne?

[@RoanokeGaming]

Yes! Getting back into video games as well lately on this channel so will have to do some bloodborne!

[@cinders5305]

@@RoanokeGaming awesome! Love to see how you try and make sense of one of From Softwares insane games

I always thought the peel from stasis was like a geel or layer like suit to protect the skin against the cold. Idk first time i saw it I thought it was kind of a brilliant detail.

[@alansoler2653]

I love your videos and I. Glad you did one on Pandoram!

[@reecedrury4145]

So happy to see you doing tales again

[@itzybitzyspyder]

I love Pandorum. It's right up there with Event Horizon!

[@For_the-Emperor]

I love this movie, reminded me of dead space and was just a joy to watch. Would love to see more space horror.

[@zombiebonegaming]

Been waiting for this one.

[@MrHappyStoner]

Ive been waiting for this one!!!

[@sinner2133]

I was JUST about to open Netflix to watch some animal documentaries to be inspired to reach my physical potential as a lot of those massive predators do, but this is more important

[@RoanokeGaming]

;)

[@sinner2133]

@@RoanokeGaming also, and I know I’m repetitive: the more I see you, the more inspired I get. Not only because you’re massive, but because it’s clear how passionate you are about your field of science. Funnily enough, I used to not care about this stuff until I started going to the gym. Researching training and nutrition subsequently brought me to discover my fascination for biology, anatomy, zoology and even virology to an extent. It’s weird how a simple sport made me fall in love with so much stuff that doesn’t really have anything to do with powerlifting, but still. Sorry for the rant, I’m just hyped. Keep up the great work brother

If I recall correctly the local people on Mt. Everest have some pretty amazing adaptations that allow them to breathe at points high enough 'low landers' need respirators

[@stormjin2242]

yes actually, they have larger lungs and a denser network of blood vessels within said lungs, allowing them to more easily pull oxygen out of thinner air

[@McKildafor]

Fun movie with a ton of live and interesting info from Mr Narrator. Thanks for the vid Just subbed!

[@TrebbleMelodyScratch]

The term for the hum of the earth, if I recall correctly is The Hum Of Gaia, and it's a phenomenon that can also occur if you say, go to another country. From what I've read it's related not just to the "hum" of earth, but the plates in which you live on.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Interesting! Makes sense though, different materials, different frequencies!

[@TrebbleMelodyScratch]

@@RoanokeGaming right! That's my own hypothesis aside from the other attributes of different tectonic plates. It could be numerous things actually, from speed to depth and size, and even as stated before, the material itself. Its super fascinating!

[@lunchmeat5000]

Love this movie. Also, what you have to do to avoid copyright strikes and KZbin bullshit policy is mind-boggling.
