When it came up Asylum and Tom Sizemore I looked at the score and yep it was 2.4/10 but this movie is so funny to watch. They take themselves very seriously which is the mark of a good trashy movie. Some of the dialog is funny along with some of the overacting. The little space ships looked good to me. I mean if you think back to 1977 Star Wars where Lucas had all these handmade models and he filmed them with camera's on little railroad tracks that was truly special effects as it hadn't been done before. The effects in this film would be just done on a PC nowadays so you can put these things into lower budget films or TV shows. This Sci-Fi film managed to hold my attention well enough for the duration. I did laugh at it at first but as it went on I embraced the reality being shown. I think it's not a bad film considering the Asylum tag and budget. So judging it this way I think it's a 7/10.

This is a cheap movie! Acting os so bad and the effects very poor! Costumes are not good and looks like chaep materials. I stopped watching. I wonder how much money they put in this movie but i guess it wil be not much. Story wlould be much better if the movie looked way better. This is just really sad! Like comments before it is just a new level of bad and dreadful! Maybe other caracters playing this would work out better and a better scenario. It looks cheap..sounds cheap and feels cheap to watch. Just one of the rhings.. Look at the masks on their heads.. It looks likes it is glued together or melted in a way you see that the effort they did was also like nothing.

Wow, who on earth...or planet Pandora... financed this movie? If I were told this was produced by, written by, directed by, costume and set design by in-coming middle school students I'd give it a pass. Easily the biggest shock is seeing Tom Sizemore. My God, talk about a fall from grace. To think he was in Saving Private Ryan is impossible to consider given this load of jibberish. That said, back to the movie. This movie misses all of the key elements for a solid viewer experience. Those would be a compelling story, great dialog, characters that you grow to care about, set design, costumes, and the MOST important...great acting. If these actors made it into a movie, then there's hope for me to become Hollywood actor too.

A low-budget scifi movie from the Asylum, even if you look through blue glasses, this is still a poor movie. Although you can expect that shortcuts have to be made with a low budget, wearing a dive suit instead of a space suit is completely understandable. However, at the start of the first scene twice open skin is flashed (1:12, 1:45) in outer space. That is even before the three actors are introduced and the story is started. Luckily, the cinematography (blue haze of Pandar), clothing (colonel is overdressed, whereas the head of disease control is dressed like a 90ish * star going to the office) and special effects aren't the most laughable part of the movie. The dialogues are even worse. The sentences are illogical and the acting differs. Some of the actors are playing it a more normal way, others are completely overacting their emotions to an absurd level (drs Jennifer). Second to the dialogue are the scene settings, there is apparently an emergency and yet the actors are coolly entering the scene holding a cup of coffee while they were summoned to the Space agency (without any indications except the urgency of the request). It just makes no sense. I could only watch for the first thirty odd minutes. The drawbacks of the movie as i described were too much. The only thing i could find mildly amusing was Tom Sizemore. He wasn't acting great (i wonder who could with the story and the dialogues) but he was entertaining. Especially when discussing the AI. As described by others, it does look like a high-school play/movie. It was to be expected, but for me, it was just a bit too much.

I can only imagine that anyone having anything to do with this abomination and actually releasing it upon the American public is currently seeking out a deep dark remote part of this world to hide in shame, remorse and the deep guilt one would undoubtely feel after creating something such as this and calling it a "Movie". If you paid for this garbage, you have been legally mugged. Most of the actors are young and have a chance for redemption providing their families, friends and the movie industry acknowledge their existence again. The older actors no longer care or have any pride in their trade knowing the fact that the American people are being dumbed down enogh to accept this rubbish and just shut up. Hopefully I didn't hurt anyone's feeeeliiingsss.

Asylum it's a whole genre by itself. If you like this genre of movies...well this is a classic Asylum. If not, stay away. Plot: After a help signal from a research vessel makes it back to Earth, the U. S. Space Force sends a rescue ship to Pandora, a moon of Saturn. But when they try to land, they discover Pandora is inhabited by a highly evolved humanoid species. To be fair, as an exception, Z Nation (2014-2018) was a quite decent and pretty good tv series (although was also a copy of a well-known tv series), but unfortunately only at first season. After that, it slowly became a parody of even of itself.

Tom Sizemore is a great actor who did not get his fair share of fame or wealth (speaking of Hollywood heavey weight and their producers) I am happy to see Tom back on the saddle on a relativly decent movie. The battle for Pandora (unreasonable title for this movie) puts Tom in a leading position among other relativly unknown actors (regadless they did a solid job) the movie itself as scifi was entertaining despite the core idea was far fetched, the use of blue haze maybe meant to hide the poor cinmatography but the story was told regardless. I am only commenting here to tell Sizemore that there is no washed up actors but bad choices and this one was good choice.

If i could give this 11 i would! From its intelligent advertisement and its brillient cohesion between plot and action, this movie clearly transends genre. It is not constrained by the ideals of traditional "Hollywood" tropes but rather breethes a refreshing life force in sci-fi movies. However, calling it a mere "sci-fi" movie is an injustice and diservice to its artistic merit. It truly exceeds any and all expectations. There is no single person who can watch this cinematic masterpiece and jump out of theyre seats and promptly fall to their knees, sobbing in "relijious" euphoria as they prey to whatever universal entity they believe in, asking for merely for the opportunity 2 forgot their viewing of the movie just so they can watch it for the first time once again. NO ONE COMES OUT OF THIS EXPERIENCE THE SAME!"'1;1;.p To stand on the precipice of greatness you will have to be in the shadow of all this movie has achieced, as nothing you do will ever come close to this wonder, joy and full body, mind and spiritiual experience. My favourite part of "Battle For Pandora" is when they battle the black eyed and blue skinned "Naa'vi" (as seen on the cover) for Pandora You're not in Kansas anymore... You're on PAAAAAN-DORA.
