Reviews:
Like most films from The Asylum, Battle for Pandora has a dialogue-heavy second act to keep the budget down. Thankfully the plot’s mix of themes from the Alien films as well as The Thing lends itself to drama as characters argue over letting potentially infected crew members back on board and how to detect who has actually been infected. It actually keeps things moving along and reasonably tense as our leads try to figure out who can be trusted.” 3.5 out of 5, Battle for Pandora
