The premise of "Pandorica" is stupid as are the actions of the characters at almost every point. The Varosha Tribe are a small, post-apocalyptic community, a few hundred years from now, who choose their leader once each generation by taking the three most promising twenty-somethings and subjecting them to a trial that kills two of them. The winner then replaces the current leader (who is still mentally and physically vigorous) who is also not allowed to return. If any of this makes any sense to you, you must be one of the people who left positive reviews for this vid.

The main character, the female warrior 'Eiren' is a classic Mary Sue while her two male competitors are a big, dumb klutz named 'Thade' and a swishy backstabber named 'Are' (which is virtually identical to the name of the Ancient Greek god of war, Ares. That's about how subtle this flick is.) It's obvious within the first two minutes of the movie that Eiren is the one who's going to win this goofy competition. Her plot armor is at an Abrams tank level of imperviousness.

The only one of the actors who's at all competent is Luke D'Silva as 'Nus', the current Varosha leader. The rest of the cast are incompetent performers who show no sign of having enough talent to be acting at all. The star of the movie, Jade Hobday, is supposed to be playing an elite warrior (Eiren) but her voice is sqeaky, her physique is slight, her posture is bad, and her movements are stiff. Frankly, she gives the impression of someone who's never done an hour of dojo training in her life. She's ridiculous, just like her character, just like this movie.

I rate this turkey a '1' on the imdb scale which means in reality... ZERO

I found Pandorica to be quite entertaining even tough it has some rather obvious problems. the plot while consistent is quite predictable but has some problems. they are making a great deal of trouble over this whole orphan thing but their lines make it seem more of a gender issue calling everything a mans task, was she the first girl to be chosen?!? besides that the founding leader was obviously an orphan having watched his family being killed by the others making the whole orphan thing seem irrelevant. the imagery was great but the acting seemed a bit lackluster along with the characters. none of them made any personal progress and really out of all the potential leaders you pick a rather violent one, a girl who is barely suited for leadership (she had some good moments with the other girl convincing her and everything) and a guy without a backbone that just isn't too bright.And what was up with their survival techniques?!? at some point they talked about the first leader and how he taught everyone to hide in the forest this does not involve walking through the forest with giant torches. the so called 'Gods' were a lot better at sneaking through the forest than the tribe that revolved around hiding so no one could kill you.

but besides all that the movie was entertaining enough and the cinematography was great they just needed a better script.

I gave this three stars because of some excellent cinematic direction and camera work. Don't get me wrong though, there is also plenty of mediocre cinematography to balance it out. Oh, and there was some effort spent on costuming.

Apart from that, a grand total of zero (or maybe 1, if I was in an extraordinarily generous mood) for acting, script, plot, pacing and direction. Psychological horror? I don't think so. I found nothing of merit in this movie other than the prettiness factor. If I was to sum up my opinion in one word, it would be 'Avoid!'
