Are you suffering from Pandorum?

Pandorum: 8.1/10 bananas At first it looks just like any other spaceship/survival sci-fi flick thats bound to have many loop holes in the story, but it a well made movie. simple yet very entertaining. Why do so many retards did not understand this film?

Sorry I am not having a dig at anyone in particular but some of the retarded posts on this board just amaze me. How can people not get this film? To clarify a bunch of points and facts about the film (in no particular order): The very first thing you see is the flight crew with Gallow hearing the msg "You're all thats left of us" and "Gods Speed" etc.... This clearly explains that the Elysion was Humanities last hope Second, Bower explains that when you wake from extended hyper sleep you experience amnesia. This explains why he has no memory of Payton or the other members of his flight crew or his wife Third: it is explained that the flight crews were supposed to rotate, 3 members monitoring the ship while the 60,000 other passengers from various walks of like (obviously the best and brightest picked to colonize Tanis) stayed in hyper sleep. The flight crews are awake for two years and then they wake up the next team who take over. So Bower and Payton (really Gallow, we find out later) rightly assume that they have been asleep for 8 years when they wake up as bowers tattoo says team 5 (bear in mind WE NEVER SEE PAYTONS TATTOO Until he regains his memory of being Gallow) When Gallow hears the msg at the start of the mission he suffers from Pandorum, kills his flight team and looses his mind believing himself to be a god because humanity is gone and he is in charge of the ship. So he awakens SOME of the passengers, kills many, sends the rest into the hold when he becomes bored and then goes BACK TO SLEEP. Meanwhile the people he woke up proceed to evolve thanks to the serum they all took that is explained to greatly increase evolution to allow the humans to adapt to Tanis quicker, and they become the monsters we see when Bower awakens. It turns out the ship had been on its way to Tanis and then stuck under the ocean on Tanis when it crashed, obviously it had no one to land or dock it and so it lay stuck for a total mission time of 900+ years. The woman explained that "This ship was designed to outlive our childrens children" in other words the Ship was incredibly well built. But after the crash the reactor began to fail, so over the course of those 800 years (the journey to Tanis was said in the film to be 120+ years) on the ocean floor, the ship began to randomly awaken or release members of the various different passenger sections because the ship was steadily loosing power and loosing the ability to maintain the 60,000 stasis pods. And because the hunter humans had become cannibals, they would hunt and kill anyone who awoke. So it would stand to reason that only the strong would survive for long on the ship; the female, the dude with the spear and the cook. Eventually Bower gets his memory back and remembers that his wife had in fact left him and that Payton was not the guy he remembered. We also realize that Payton is really Gallow, and that his Pandorum combined with the loss of memory from the 800 year hyper-sleep meant that he had forgotten who he was and his personality split until he fully regained his memory. He must have killed the real Payton, we can assume a member of Gallows flight crew attempted to wake the next crew but failed, was killed, and Gallow took his tube. So after all of this, if someone can come up with an actual plot hole that is so massive they can't work it out with reasonable assumptions based on known facts from the film or with a little thought then I'm a dutchman. I went into this film expecting another *beep* film like Event Horizon but I was pleasantly surprised, this film is one of the best scifi films from Hollywood in years and I would love to hear anyones plot holes (totally none confrontational, I was just amazed to hear people got confused watching this film)
