Pick up the Blu-ray of Pandorum now at BestBuy.com this week only for $10 – it’s a steal. I bought it at full price – $27.99 – and love it. There are some interesting special features on the blu-ray, including a short featuring some alternative crew members searching for life on the ship, etc – great stuff.

On a side note, I don’t listen to any critics or friends anymore – if a movie looks like something I’d like, I pick it up or see it. Example: Outlander. I heard so many bad things about it and considering it was delayed and delayed and then didn’t make it to theaters anywhere near me (St Louis), I was a bit skeptical, but the vikings/outer space thing had me hooked and as soon as it was out on DVD I bought it…and loved it! Follow your instincts and see what you like – screw the critics!

I caught Pandorum in the theater and was not disappointed! Lots of atmosphere. I thought The Thirteenth Warrior was excellent as well. Just watched it the other day on one of the movie channels.

Thank you so much for commenting on my blog, David! I am looking forward to reading The Machinery of Light when it is released in May. The cover art is amazing as well and I’d included it a few weeks ago in a post about incredible science fiction book covers.

I’m with you guys. . .and I should probably do a separate post on 13th Warrior–in fact, it’s high time I watched it again. One of my favorite movies EVAH.

Thank you for reminding me about Pandorum. I had wanted to see this in theaters hoping it would be at least on par with Event Horizon.. and then missed it completely. As to 13th Warrior, I think that’s quite possibly the best movie of it’s genre since the original Conan.

Glad you liked it as much as I did. What’s funny is Ann and I *love* The 13th Warrior and still can’t believe that more people don’t, or that it got trashed by reviewers on release.

Stephen Baxter’s latest “Ark” is mostly set on a generational starship too. Its a sequel to “Flood” where the planet became a water world. And no, global warming wasn’t the cause!
