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.

Danny Boyle hasn’t made a hundred films and he doesn’t need to. Every film he has made has been special and though some are better than others, it is obvious that the man has a lot of talent. With Slumdog Millionaire causing a stir, I take a look at both Slumdog and his previous works.

In an effort to design the spaceship “the Dog’s Head” for Nivellensem Dreams I’m putting together a list of attributes that I think make the perfect spacecraft. As the purpose of Nivellensem Dreams is to build a mythology as I go with a simple plot pinning it all together, I’ve decided that the central vehicle of the story can also be built this way, bit-by-bit. Here’s what I’ve got so far on what makes a cool and memorable spaceship:
