How it feels

Two astronauts awaken on a huge spaceship with no memory of who they are or their mission. They explore the dark, decaying vessel and discover that they are not alone. They must survive against hostile creatures and their own unraveling sanity.

What happens

Pandorum is a 2009 science fiction horror film directed by Christian Alvart, produced by Robert Kulzer, Jeremy Bolt and Paul W. S. Anderson (the latter two through their Impact Pictures banner), and starring Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster. Travis Milloy wrote the screenplay from a story by Milloy and Alvart. The film's title is a fictional slang term for a form of psychosis caused by deep space and triggered by emotional stress, leading to severe paranoia, delirium, and nosebleeds. Pandorum was released on 25 September 2009 in the United States, and on 2 October 2009 in the UK. The film was poorly received and a box office flop. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
