Following in the footsteps of space horrors Event Horizon and Sunshine, Pandorum follows the story of a man called Bower having woken from a long statis aboard the massive space hulk “Elysium”. The character Bower is played by Ben Foster of X-Men: The Last Stand fame, but has shown off his acting skills much more notably as the horribly efficient Charlie Prince in the 3:10 to Yuma remake with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. In this he plays an adequate lead in a role where only fragments of Bower’s past are evident to him at the outset. That, too, is an effect of “Pandorum” – a psychological condition caused by extended stasis in space travel, the symptoms of which include paranoia, madness, violence and extreme hallucinations.

It’s a dreary day today – the kind that given the choice, you wouldn’t spend out in the cold and the rain. Unfortunately this morning I had an appointment in the city centre, so I dragged myself onto the bus and had to kill some time beforehand, trudging like a zombie through crowds and shops. I was feeling pretty ill, like I might pass out and five different people tried to stop me for the old “it’ll only take a moment” chat.

Sometimes I think we never do anything as well as we used to. Not that I was alive to see what we used to do! I’m talking here about music and other forms of entertainment. It’s like Raul Duke’s comment from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in reference to the sixties…
