The Ship Has Been in Space For 923 Years, Its Crew Mutated After Landing

[@peanutjam7601]

I read someone's comment a year ago that the mutated humans are supposedly ready to adapt to a new habitat or they were bio-engineered to adapt that way, but when the ship submerged under the depths of sea and the lack of sunlight, they become mutated into something resembling a creature that lives underwater. With nothing to learn or the ability to survive they resort to cannibalism due to isolation. Edit: thanks for the likes, but the one who gives me ideas about the movie should be the one credited, not me.

[@radiatefromhere]

correct. They had a drug put into their systems so they would start to spontaneously mutate to fit whatever environment they faced when initially released from their hypersleep. It was intended to help adaptation to the new planet's ecosystem.

[@chvishal]

The humans were bio engineers to quickly evolve/adapt to any environment they were in, and since the environment they were in was the ship itself (the human pods should of never opened while on ship) they adapted / evolved to the environment they were in, one of metal, cold and dark, dim light, and no flora and fauna.

This movie [Pandorum] was absolutely fantastic. The horror throughout, climbing through tight corridor of wired and tubing, discovering horrifying creatures, meeting humans turned Cannibal, finding out the one person you thought you could rely on is a psychopath suffering schizophrenic psychotic break, and then the big reveal of pitch black beyond the viewing glass on the bridge and a giant glowing monstrosity seemingly floating by in nothingness, absolutely terrifying not for these facts alone but the fact you have no idea, no clue, no knowledge, just the unknown, the feeling of dread horror anxiety helplessness fear, and then hope through all of it, a glimmer of hope. Really wish there was a sequel to this film. Another film I think is fantastic is Event Horizon.

Crazy part was, if this was made back in the 80s/90s during the Alien and Predator craze, we would have gotten a sequel and possibly more to flesh out this story.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Didn’t do Alien and Predator any good to be “fleshed out”. Nor the Matrix for that matter. People don’t seem to get that much of horror and scifi relies on mystery and the void of the unknown in fundamental way to produce their effects, treat their central themes - and the act of over-explaining them only lessens the impact and meaning of that. Sequels usually do not introduce strong mysteries of their own. They just feed off slowly klling off the original by “fleshing it out” and making the fantastic, the horrific and the transcendant more mundane and familiar and less significant at each turn. They’re like the explanation of a magic trick. Fun to know, but ruins the magic. The fact that originals made you want more is exactly their quality. You leaned in and started working rather than having it all served. You stared into the void, not into a book on the vagaries of world crafting.

[@phrozac]

Some stories don't need to be "fleshed out" and are better left with questions unanswered, as it's those questions that fire the imagination and allow the story to live on in our heads long after the credits roll.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

@@phrozac Thanks for saying that. In these days of fandom culture nobody seem to get that. Some genres are not only not in need of fleshing out but RELY on not being so. Notably various forms of horror or fantastic tales. But that aside movies are not structures you can just keep adding shit to. Good movies are insanely economical and deliberate with hidden structures and dynamics best described with the iceberg metaphor. You can’t just “flesh things out” it’s like suggesting hey how about adding some cake and ludo pieces to the board in a chess tournament. “I like the king, let’s flesh out the king bit, we could maybe have 5 each - no room you say? Lets just take out the knights it won’t matter they’re just pieces”. And people doing that will usually think they’re being super edgy and transformative really “challenging the paradigm” with what is essentially a “kids make a cake out of shit they like” approach. Never mind you end up with a tray of melted candy covered in charred flour which nobody wants, cos the process was fun.

[@superdave8248]

Sequel fan fiction. They discover that they weren't the only ship sent There is one ship in orbit. Another ship crashed on the ground with no obvious survivors but signs that they had begun to build a community. So now it is a mystery what happened to the settlers on the ground and why the ship in orbit is in orbit and not responding. Turns out some of the mutant freaks had already escaped and attacked the survivors on the ground crew all but wiping them out. After fighting for survival yet again with the mutated humans and finding just a single mute child survivor, a small barely functional shuttle is discovered and made operational. They discover an ID tag for a senior officer and a video log. They watch the log to learn that things are not going smoothly on the ground. Something is attacking the crew and people are showing signs of infection. They take the shuttle to the ship in orbit and dock. They come on board with no greeting party. They begin to explore the ship to discover no humans on board. All the cryo tubes are empty. They make it the bridge to discover it is locked but the security lock can be opened with the ID tag discovered on the shuttle. There is a skeleton of a man in the captain's chair. A recording from the planet playing on autoloop. Nothing but bad news. The initial landing parties didn't discover something about the planet. And everyone was sent down but a skeleton crew. Everybody on the ground is infected or dead. But by what? Well, the survivors know that it was the freaks from the Pandorum. The gift that just keeps on giving. The few survivors from both ships stare at each other. Unsure what to do. In the background is a panel flashing red. Unnoticed. Indicating that the ship's reactor is unstable. And failure is quickly approaching. Cut to credits. Final movie. The survivors discover that issue with the reactor and go to investigate. On the way they discover a wrecked medical unit. Turns out some of the infected were brought up to this ship. Things went south and only the captain left on the bridge was not infected. He locked the door and eventually died from dehydration or starvation. But are there infected on board? The survivors deal with a new threat on the last remaining ship. A ship named Dauntless. Which is completely unknown to any of the survivors. The ship crashed on the ground was The Icarus. But as they search the ship they discover more video journals. More clues what happened. The Pandorum arrived first. Got pulled into the planet's gravity. Crashed into the ocean. The Icarus suffered a similar fate but crashed on land. The Dauntless avoided the problem but had suffered some damage during the voyage and was under pressure to send the survivors to the surface to take pressure off the reactor. Survivors from the Icarus went to the Pandorum. breached its hull. This unleashed some of the freaks. None of the party who went to the Pandorum survived to report the freaks. The Freaks mutated again began to infect humans as the animals on the planet were immune. Infection began to spread among all Icarus and Dauntless survivors. Some of the infected were taken to the Dauntless where the remaining skeleton crew resided and were either killed or infected. The reactor is discovered to need a replacement part. One likely found on the Pandorum. So the decision is made to try to retrieve said part which would likely shut down the ship reactor completely and killing any remaining life still on board. Infected or human alike. They go back on board the Pandorum and discover the Queen of the infected who was a medical doctor assigned to group 3 on the Pandorum. The attempt to kill the queen and she ends up getting flushed out of the ship. With no sign of the body afterwards. But the Pandorum is officially dead. Return trip to the Dauntless. Part is restored. Most of the systems come back online with various reports of damage. As they watch the ship come back to life, navigation systems power up. And a universal navigational chart pops up with a course set in to another unknown solar system but one closer than the return trip to Earth. Another colony? Another Decision to make. Return to Earth, stay here, or take a chance on the trip to the other planet.

[@ghostwalker89]

@whynottalklikeapirat yes they did. You can develop a whole new world instead of just leaving it on a mystery. This isn't 'The Thing', and science fiction and science itself have always been about discovering everything about a subject.

The mutant origins was a breath of fresh air. It somehow also made sense. My only gripe was that the ship crashed early. It had all these systems but apparently not a navigation auto system.

Pretty sure it didn't crash early, just on time. Also I'm assuming it did have automatic navigation system and reentry system. Otherwise it probably wouldn't have survived hitting the ocean. A crack in the bridges glass was enough to trigger the pods deployment. So something had to have slowed it down on approach and reentry. Just the alarm clock probably got fucked up from Gallo's tinkering and insanity. It was going to take 123 years to get to the target system originally, so I'm assuming that didn't change. The nearest solar system to earth is roughly 4.25 light years away and assuming the furthest distance to the target system was is at most 15 light years. The ship was moving between 10373.4 km/s to 36560.1 km/s. So yeah the ship had to have slowed itself down somehow.

[@stevenscott2136]

@@isThreeman I like to imagine the whole thing was caused by a minor programming error in the autopilot. Some coder back home had been trying to type and drink Red Bull at the same time, so the "wait, that's water, don't land there" subroutine got overlooked.

This one still has the potential for conflict with the monsters in the epilogue, when they go for the rest of the genetic information for the flora and fauna, but the important thing is that hundreds if not thousands of humans survived and lived to see another day, and perhaps the survival of the race as a whole.

[@KeebaAfrica]

This is one of the most slept on scifi horror out there, like 10/10 would recommend 👌

[@familialgameaholics7618]

This is one of my favorite movies. I always hoped there would be a prequel that has a background of the beginning of the mission and finally, a sequel that showed if they were able to survive on the new planet.

[@blackmerkit142]

The ending was really nice, but I also think it would have been cool if there was a special ending showing how life has been good on the planet but the mutants someone survived the flooding of the ship.

[@Mae_Dastardly]

Story twist: The mutants chill the fuck out once they realize there's something to eat other than people and just sorta assimilate into human society

[@te9591]

I think having the survivors launch and reestablish themselves only to find more than one bay of pods has been launched before creating another type of mutant or two in the outer environment. One of them works as planned, being an advanced human and the other being a series of pods half submerged on a craggy cliff.

[@PatrixBest]

There actually IS a hidden ending that shows that Corporal Gallow survived the flooding and managed to stabilize the ship and he serves himself a cup of space coffee

[@netshaman9918]

One of the most underated movie out there !

[@d8ngdeld8ng]

Underrated. Both this movie Pandorum and the Doom are the top notch sci-fi/horror action movies without so called "big" Hollywood stars who usually made the movie about themselves & their annoying PR machine. This is just pure adrenaline movie from the start to finish, whilst having a solid & fantastic plot & script. Truly, this is one of those movie where you just wander to a theater area from a stressful day from work or school or whatever stressors, then just purchased a ticket out of nothing even curiosity merely to nap. But surprised! Ended as one of the rare movie that I never forgoten, keep thinking and hoping for a overdue sequel, this from 2009, afterwards & now 2024.

An entire society of eras, ideas and ages on one ship over nearly a millenium, consisting of new people with old ideas being thawed out for whatever purpose in a new terrarium age of insanity. The Spielberg ending of the unnecessary torment of over several hundred years is a nice kiss to the horror genre. That after trauma effect is a rare form of movie directing.

Weird. I saw this movie over a decade ago, and felt like i watched a totally different ending.

And then at the end it gets revealed that the ship has never left earth at all and crashed in the atlantic ocean and still been on earths bottem of the ocean for almost 1000 years. And i couldnt remember their pods all shooting from the ship

Well amnesia does not wipe all your memories and abilities. Depending on the type you might not remember only certain things or certain amount of time (like 2 years or just a week)

[@MollyHJohns]

I'm guessing the skills of controlling the ship is more similar to muscle memory than brain memory, and that's why they can still operate the ship despite not remembering their own identities.

[@sierra8186]

I remember watching this and it was horrifying! The scariness of the creatures was unreal, with this recap not being able to explain or show in detail, though it is not the recaps fault due to the nature of this forum. I recall finding out that they were underwater and had been for 800+ years, and the reactor had been doing its job for all of that time, so when you think about it the technology worked almost perfectly. It was just the pandorum virus which made the mission fail. I am sure they had plans for a 2nd movie based on the ending, with the mutated people still under the sea. I think it is still a strong possibility it gets a sequel; actually, once this horrific strike is over, I may just be the one to try and greenlight it (I can't myself but I can lobby Mike and Bruce for sure). I think I could sell our studio to make it, especially if we can get Quaid or a similar strong actor and name to sign on, but it would not be approved for more than $40M-$50M...which is plenty if we keep it grounded on the planet and not have the expenses of a bunch of CGI space scenes; however we will probably need a 2nd ship from earth to make the trip there and intro some young actors, and I know it said all others on earth had died, but that detail can be fixed rather easily...Pandorum 2...coming to a theatre near you - October 2025 or 2026!

Loved this movie. One thing that people seem to miss is the use of different colour lighting to represent different things. I forget since it's been a while since I watched this but there are scenes where the characters made a discovery, and there will be a certain colour tied to this. Eg whenever you see soft yellow lighting, there will be a discovery by a character. Or when there is tension, it will be another colour.

[@jedibasschoke8909]

I’m curious how the spacecraft can make gravity but never explained in all the space movies

[@KabbalahSherry]

They had gravity because they were already on the planet they found out. ☺️🌎💯

[@MollyHJohns]

Right. I can only imagine that for our current space technology, the most they can/should do is to engineer a mild magnetic suit or boots that can be 'sticky' to the magnetic ship body, or a specific magnetic path on the ship body so the astronauts can safely walk on the assigned surfaces without floating away. But I guess having a lot of magnetic walls/floors on big parts of the space ship or station isn't feasible anytime soon. But I know they use velcro etc for attaching stuff.

[@stevenscott2136]

In this particular case, having gravity should have been a huge clue for the crew. So apparently the ship had artificial gravity. But then either it would be DOUBLE gravity (artificial and planetary), or Ben Foster should have noticed the gravity had automatically shut off, and yet he was still on the floor. Not a very good engineer after all....

[@flAMe9610]

@@MollyHJohns It's actually pretty easy to create artificial gravity, you just have to spin the space craft. The centrifugal force presses you against the ground, faster spin = more artificial gravity.

Gravity must’ve been noticeably in all the wrong directions without the rotation, and didn’t they have more windows?
