Help me think of this movie title - Blu-ray Forum

broganreynik · 08-31-2009, 04:43 PM

I can't think of this movie for anything. I've even went back 2 years on movies I've reviewed and nothing rang a bell. Anyway, it's a sci-fi movie, in the vein of Event Horizon or Alien. It takes place on a spacecraft and towards the end, one of the characters ends up being a machine/robot, and its only objective is to make sure the mission succeeds, even at the cost of the crew. I know that's pretty basic, but that's all I can remember.

How long ago are you talking about?

I was going to say Imposter, but it doesn't take place on a spacecraft...

what was the general gist of the mission?

Weirded Wonder · 08-31-2009, 05:23 PM

Need more information.

Steve · 08-31-2009, 05:35 PM

It definitely sounds like Alien, but you seem pretty confident it isn't. Can you remember anything else about the movie at all? Male/female characters, nature of the mission, etc?

Rob71 · 08-31-2009, 05:35 PM

Did it have a similar plot to Sunshine, trying to save the Earth from destruction? It sounds very familiar, I saw it a few months ago on the Sci-Fi Channel.

rghuxley · 08-31-2009, 05:37 PM

I thought the same, except Sunshine doesn't have a crew member who is a robot.

That's what makes it sound like Alien to me.

Yeah, I think it was. It had that hard sci-fi vibe. Sorry I can't think of anything else about it, it's been driving me bonkers. The preview for Pandorum reminded me a little of it, and that's all I got. I swore I've watched it in the past year, but that doesn't say when it came out.

iori · 08-31-2009, 07:54 PM

Sounds familiar but I have no idea.
