Hey man, i just want to say sorry for not watching your videos as a continuos stream these days, but I've done illustrating for a while and I have to focus on writing. And while I really like Spoon, it is difficult to focus on the words while the dude is fighting against a lycan. it is okay while I'm drawing, different parts, u know better. anyway, peace, out!
Is that why Deadspace is now 60$ on steam? >.< That's the remaster they overpriced because they new raving fanboys and a certain microbiologist would go crazy?
There is a widely utilized concept in science fiction that ships need to create oxygen and to do so would likely require a lot of life support machinery, entire parts of the ship are dedicated to these machines. Theres a likelihood that the oxygen produced and resulting condensation would create high levels of moisture. So, lots of hot machines radiating heat are converting c02 into lots of wet, hot, air and that gets us the sweating crew mates and dripping environments we often see. Plus, liquid hydrogen is the “fuel of the future” do to its ability to exist as a liquid within a vacuum.
@@FunlandRobot this is the best and most accurate description I’ve ever heard for why the ship in aliens looks like a sweaty truck stop bathroom. Lol. Not a troll, your explanation actually makes a lot of sense.
@@FunlandRobot That doesn't make any sense. We have to generate oxygen and scrub the waste even now, in existing spacecraft, as well as keep the environment moisture free, cuz moisture corrodes, rusts, and can cause electrical shorts. There's no logical reason at all to have wet, drippy, humid spaceships, cuz it'd be hazardous as fuck and actively dangerous to anyone's survival.
This movie deserves so much more praise than it gets. The characters in the movie almost never make any dumb decisions, a lot of the issues that impede their survival make sense and feel genuinely daunting, and their solutions to said problems are usually extremely clever or take clear and obvious tolls on them. The fact that the movie’s creators went through the trouble of conceptualizing emergency hand-cranking power generators included with every piece of technology on the ship shows me that a TON of thought was put into the overall production and conception of this film’s premise. One of my favorite horror movies of all time, and an absolutely brilliant spin on the Cosmic Horror subgenre.
Still it has a artist licence all over it, considering how easy was for single guy to screw the whole ship to begin with. No dead man switch controls. No multi-user locks. No passwords. No redundancy modules. And what baffle's me most, no automated, fully mechanical (no electronics, in case of failure) release depending on long term outside readings. But then again, there would be no movie if the quajillion dollar ship had all the neccesary and logical common parts.
It is one of my favorite horror movies of all time and I’ve seen hundreds. I love everything about this movie especially the atmosphere of being in a huge ship navigating through the human-monsters. I watch this movie every couple years it never gets old
@@bluewhitespartan5258 It was better than Prometheus and a slew of other things, so I'm not so sure it's what you claim it is. It had some good twists and situations that felt real. It had some issues, but I think you're glossing over too much.
@@rewmangeorge5957crazy to imagine a LACK OF GOVERNMENT and things like FBI and CIA with entire arsenal to run huge operations an investigations on a ship alone in “space” where one clever guy who’s familiar with the system goes rogue and exploits the rules/operations.. im pretty confident serial killers who often go for a long time before caught would have even less obstacles in an environment like this.. 😂 Crazy to think humans CAN get very clever and go out of their way to achieve acts of horror and etc… Crazy how irl ppl sometimes hack to gov or leak shit… it’s almost as if humans irl are far more capable then fictional humans.. im 100% confident im not the only person in this comment section that’s cheated the system and not got caught… 😂 also LYING and DECEPTION works pretty well… it’s not crazy to think he woke up and did some tweaking to wake up after ppl think he went back to cryo after his shirt/turn… espionage shit.. eventually he weasels his way to the control he had during the movie.. 😂
I haven't even watched this video but I gotta say, Pandorum is an underated gem. It's one of the best haunted ship type of movies out there. I appreciate everyone on RUclips that's made videos covering it recently.
@@executor31 :) Event Horizon Horizon is my second favorite haunted ship movie :) Fun fact: Paul W S Anderson who directed Event Horizon was the executive producer of Pandorum.
@@under-chonker yeah. The whole movie is a prequel to alien, it was supposed to be a trilogy of movies, i think is what ridley said in like 2012 or 2017, but i don’t know if they’re gonna do it.
As a human biology major I fricking love you covering the biological mechanisms behind pathogens in games and shows! It's usually so hard to discuss both the science and lore behind all these shows/games with people 😅
Bro, you definitely should read the script for Pandorum. It went into detail about the ship having moss growing on it's walls, the Hunters (which is what they're called in the script) having a pretty complex society and engaging in "Satanic dances" while they killed and ate their prey, and more that really shows just how little was able to be brought to the film. Even so, it's got a place in my heart as one of the best sci-fi movies of the 2000s.
the script? What kind of die hard fan are you? Who reads the scripts of movies ? Thats crazy actually. I mean a book i can understand but a script thats crazy.
I mean from the scene where the guy shoots all the pods out in space they come from every surface of the ship so realistically that’s probably exactly what happened
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the fact that the creatures actively slept under the reactor as part of your analysis! I had always had it in my head been that they had not only adapted to survive off of other colonists and the shipboard environment, but also to the background radiation over who-knows-how-long. Great video!
Fun fact: The guy who gets attacked as soon as his pod opens is played by Ben Foster (Bower)'s brother. Also, the captain who receives the message about Earth being lost and the leader of the mutated passengers (the one in the video thumbnail) are both played by the same actor.
I genuinely didn't know that and I know a lot of random movie trivia lol. That's really cool thanks for pointing that out, I like the idea that the original captain was exiled to the reactor either by choice or the other officer and generations later his descendant is the pack alpha leading the hunters presumably due to valuable leadership skills being taught to his children
logistically they would either die out or resort to inbred cannibalism. there is so much limited capacity for food and skin clothing, that the universe would get a moment of lucidity and punt that ship into a B-class star.
Another interesting thing I noticed upon repeated viewings. Bowers shows Payton his tattoos but Bowers never actually looks at Peyton’s. The only times we ever see tattoos on Peyton’s arm is after Bower leaves early in the movie.
To clarify that segment, the "Gallo" roaming around isn't actually real, its his real consciousness/personality in "Payton's" mind. Notice how Payton can still hear him after muting him? Basically after Gallo went insane he played God with the creatures and newly released colonists. Over time he got bored and decided to hypersleep until the next batch of crew. He, now as the older Gallo who now looks like Dennis Quaid, then slept inside Payton's pod (he presumably killed him before, or woke him up during his God phase). He then woke up with Bower and with amnesia due to hypersleep, and because he was in Payton's pod he assumed he was the real Payton. The Gallo he talks to is his younger inner self trying to take back his mind from his amnesiac self. After merging he is no longer amnesiac but the complete Gallo from before, its why he was so composed, not hesitating to kill the chef.
This vid was so good! The more I saw those things, to me anyway, look a lot like The Falmer from Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. They were former Snow Elves. To make things really short and simple, they lost a big war against the Nords, and most were driven underground. The last of them were basically forced to take a deal with The Dwemer, just to survive, BUT, there was a HUGE catch, they had to eat this fungus, that turned them blind! After THAT, they were enslaved by the Dwemer! Over time, they slowly de-evolved in to the Falmer we know today. I know I skipped over a lot, but, the basics are there. These creatures just reminded me of the Falmer.
Did you try keeping your eyes open while watching? Lol just blows my mind how people need to be spoonfed the most simple mass-appeal entertainment media. Like, try using your brain, taking in the information, and going on along with the ride. I just don't get how others 'don't get it'.
Not everyone can focus 100% on a movie, sometimes it’s nice to chuck one on and half pay attention so I got confused cause wasn’t like, entirely clear what the hell was going on
Been hoping you'd cover this one. Pandorum is easily one of the best lesser know sci-fi horrors ever made. Nothing was a wasted, not the set design, actors, creatures and the twist at the end was perfect. It's a crime this film didn't get the respect it deserved on its release.
So, a few things: I think the enzyme was meant to make humans more quickly adapt. This could be adapting via quicker reproduction and via introducing more mutations or both. The 800 extra years isn't that the time frame of the trip was wrong, but that the captain "freed" a few of them on the ship while going back to sleep multiple times due to his mental state. This is also why the food supplies are seriously depleted, and also, I believe they mention at some point that one of the ones they found was actually still very young.
13:25 If i remember right, his wife was left behind because she was barren and unable to produce offspring so the higher ups saw her as dead weight and denied her entry on the ship as she had no applicable skills to the mission.
Loving the video so far, but I wanted to give you a quick shout out for keeping your sponsored segments / ads at the beginning of your vids. It makes all the difference for keeping the video immersive and on track. Thanks for the new video! They're always a fun time to watch :)
I honestly like this movie, felt like it deserved more attention, especially in how the creatures came to be in the first place, love the science breakdown you gave here!
I agree completely. It’s between this movie and Pitch Black that I put on my hidden gem Sci-Fi findings. Both were late night can’t sleep let me just find something to watch films and I was hooked. I just would love more from this universe and know what happened during those missing years.
For the past few years my girlfriend and I have regularly uttered the phrase "we need more movies like Pandorum," a good hundred or so times. The mix of action, scary monster suspense, science, psychological strain, and adventure was all cooked together so beautifully.
Have you seen The Titan? It's another movie about tinkering with human genetic adaptations and fleeing a dying Earth, but instead of flat-out leaving the solar system, they're trying to adapt humans to living on Titan. I think it'd be a fun one for you to make into a new episode.
Using xenomorphing instead of terraforming. Sadly it has the same damn question as this movie - why not use this technology on Earth too? If you can adapt people to somehow survive on Titan of all places, no matter what cataclysm happens on Earth, they'd still find it more livable then Titan, lol:D
@@TheArklyte not to mention it'd be helluva lot easier coming up with food on Earth, even during an environmental catastrophe. Unless they modified some crops or food animals to survive on Titan, that poor dude is probably gonna starve to death.
I remember watching this as a kid and thinking it was really good. I watched it last night as an adult and realized this movie is phenomenal. One of my favorites
Are you interested in covering the avatar movies now that 2 came out Cause I know they are kinda boring but the alien world and alien biology is pretty interesting imo Especially the whole tail nerve system thing
Pandorum has been one of my favourite Sci-Fi films of the two-thousands and I always wanted there to be a sequel which unfortunately never came. Having your scientific view of the film was awesome and only increases my love of the film. I haven't seen you do this often but I would love to see a video with your analysis of what you would imagine would happen to the colonist after they're freed from the ship.🙏
The theory is this is a seqaul to event horizon. The reason they sent people out in stasis was because the zero point drive didn't work and this was their back up.
I was brought up by a swimming teacher mother, I never really had swimming lessons as I just sort of knew what to do without thinking about it. The problem came when i went through my courses to become a swimming teacher myself because I didnt really know HOW to do something, I just did it. My point is that when you look at a group of people and think "how can they behave like that?", well if you are brought up with something unusual that is treated as normal then you never know that IT IS unusual.
One of my favorite things about your channel is that it gives me more movies to watch that have slipped under my radar. I straight up make it a point when a video comes out to go watch the movie first and then come back. Great stuff!
Ive been hoping for a video on Pandorum for a long time. One of the first sci-fi movies I saw, and it gave me an interest in sci-fi horror, in combination with the flood from H:CE.
I always thought a sequel would be cool. Maybe not a movie, maybe a TV series or even a video game. Have the 1000 colonists and a bunch of the monsters create their own dualing mirror cultures where they have to contend with the perils of the new planet.
I wish this movie got a sequel would love to see how they try to build a functioning society, maybe go back in to the ship to get supplies and stuff. Tons of potential.
Bro, you have the best metaphors ever . "Like a single mom after two bottles of wine" nearly killed me. I got learn not to eat while watching your videos, one of these days I'm gonna choke and die laughing.
It's one of the reasons why I also like Knights of Sidonia. People had to adapt to their generation ship, and that included genetic engineering humans who could photosynthesize to cut down on food production
I remember seeing this movie on mushrooms…in a theatre. Me and my friends were the only people in there but you would of thought the whole place was packed by the amount of noise we were making. Still haven’t recovered.
Such a good video. Really glad to see this doing so well and always look forward to the more in-depth look into these movie and video game diseases. Keep it up!
The scariest part of this movie was when the innocent crew in pods were ejected/vented into the void. Imagine waking up or being awake, seeing yourself floating out into the darkness, knowing you'll run out of oxygen and no one will come for you, dying afraid.
Love seeing videos about this, such an underrated film, everyone who knows it are absolute chads, and those who haven’t im sure could get there one day
The term for the hum of the earth, if I recall correctly is The Hum Of Gaia, and it's a phenomenon that can also occur if you say, go to another country. From what I've read it's related not just to the "hum" of earth, but the plates in which you live on.
@@RoanokeGaming right! That's my own hypothesis aside from the other attributes of different tectonic plates. It could be numerous things actually, from speed to depth and size, and even as stated before, the material itself. Its super fascinating!
I love these videos, seeing a glimpse into the biology behind the movie is great. I'd love to see your take on the creature from "the autopsy" in Cabinet of Curiosities
Always wanted to watch this movie but never got myself to actually do it, but since I didn't want to get spoiled by watching your video I finally watched it! It was a great movie, so thank you!
I have made it a point to watch all your videos, as I drive a lot for work. I think I've finally accomplished this, and it's crazy to hear you thanking people for having 100 subscribers and now you have almost 850k! You are killing it bro, very knowledgeable and entertaining, plus always interesting theories. Keep up that sigma male grindset bro, always looking forward to your videos!
Love this movie, in a special feature commentary on the DVD the director says that they wrote some bio’s for some of the creature characters, and the reason why the leader has no nose was because it was torn off in a fight for leadership with one of his own. And he had won the fight.
I liked this movie far more than I thought I was going to. I think I streamed it on Netflix back when streaming was relatively new and they didn't have a very complete library. I remember binging a series only to discover after watching season 3, that season 4 could only be watched through their original DVD mailing system. There were a few different shows that I thought I had watched the entire series run, only to discover upon a second viewing and watching episodes I had never seen before that the seasons were missing one or two episode that went listed them as missing. Instead of it being 12 episodes with episode 2 and 7 on DVD only, they showed it as having 10 episodes🤬. Anyway it was pretty good, but I remember upon discovering there was a sequel that there was no way a second movie could possibly be anywhere near as good, and didn't bother to check. The end of the original just didn't leave the door open for anything that would remotely resemble the first one.
I was JUST about to open Netflix to watch some animal documentaries to be inspired to reach my physical potential as a lot of those massive predators do, but this is more important
@@RoanokeGaming also, and I know I’m repetitive: the more I see you, the more inspired I get. Not only because you’re massive, but because it’s clear how passionate you are about your field of science. Funnily enough, I used to not care about this stuff until I started going to the gym. Researching training and nutrition subsequently brought me to discover my fascination for biology, anatomy, zoology and even virology to an extent. It’s weird how a simple sport made me fall in love with so much stuff that doesn’t really have anything to do with powerlifting, but still. Sorry for the rant, I’m just hyped. Keep up the great work brother
If I recall correctly the local people on Mt. Everest have some pretty amazing adaptations that allow them to breathe at points high enough 'low landers' need respirators
yes actually, they have larger lungs and a denser network of blood vessels within said lungs, allowing them to more easily pull oxygen out of thinner air
I swear weeks prior under one of your other videos I was asking for a Pandorum video since the movie is so close to a dead space movie. I’m so glad you’ve covered this movie
I always thought the peel from stasis was like a geel or layer like suit to protect the skin against the cold. Idk first time i saw it I thought it was kind of a brilliant detail.
One of my most favorite movies. Also why jersey is terrible among other reasons, the weather, it gets 90f with 100% humidity in the summer but it can get to 1f in the winter. You finally start to get used to it and the weather changes.
Hello there ^w^ Sorry for bothering but i love hearing your voice and your explaining of this kind of things, so was wondering - would you perhaps want to explain a "Monsters" from a movie called "Spectral" (2016) and if perhaps they could exist irl Just curious ^w^
Can anyone pinpoint me to the timeframe where Roanoke explains how these mutants are able to outperform those impressive vertical jumper tutorials here on YT?
Hey Roanoke. I just recently learned that if they keep striking down your videos. You can put a video of yourself in the corner as if you're doing a reaction video, and then usually your video won't be hit. Learned this from Wendigoo .
Man, I truly do love this channel. I do wonder if he remembers me from one of his first few videos that he replied to my comment. Either way, I'm happy he has achieved a strong youtube platform!
Honestly the one thing about this movie I liked the most is the various hand crank generators especially the one for the computer. Besides that great video
Wish they expanded more on this series, with a population that high just on earth and space travel already possible there most of been colonies in our own solar system.

Not everyone can focus 100% on a movie, sometimes it’s nice to chuck one on and half pay attention so I got confused cause wasn’t like, entirely clear what the hell was going on
Been hoping you'd cover this one. Pandorum is easily one of the best lesser know sci-fi horrors ever made. Nothing was a wasted, not the set design, actors, creatures and the twist at the end was perfect. It's a crime this film didn't get the respect it deserved on its release.
One thing that I didn’t attention to that was sort of a giveaway, Lt. Payton didn’t have the build up of dead skin when he was released from his pod.
I'm glad you are examining this film. Such an underrated movie, its a shame it wasn't continued.
I would have liked to maybe seen it continue on with concept of some of these things getting off the ship too and survival on Tanis
@@RoanokeGaming I like to imagine it as part of the same universe as Event Horizon.
@@lmccampbell +1 because Event Horizon is my favorite horror movie. 😁
@@lmccampbell OMG I never even thought of that but it fits!
@@RoanokeGaming I just asked for this!😄
Why not discuss it? I mean, the movie is never getting made so...
So, a few things: I think the enzyme was meant to make humans more quickly adapt. This could be adapting via quicker reproduction and via introducing more mutations or both.
The 800 extra years isn't that the time frame of the trip was wrong, but that the captain "freed" a few of them on the ship while going back to sleep multiple times due to his mental state.
This is also why the food supplies are seriously depleted, and also, I believe they mention at some point that one of the ones they found was actually still very young.
13:25 If i remember right, his wife was left behind because she was barren and unable to produce offspring so the higher ups saw her as dead weight and denied her entry on the ship as she had no applicable skills to the mission.
Was that from the book or some kind of novelization?
Loving the video so far, but I wanted to give you a quick shout out for keeping your sponsored segments / ads at the beginning of your vids. It makes all the difference for keeping the video immersive and on track.
Thanks for the new video! They're always a fun time to watch :)
I honestly like this movie, felt like it deserved more attention, especially in how the creatures came to be in the first place, love the science breakdown you gave here!
Absolutely love Pandorum, it does my heart good to see this underrated film get more attention whenever possible.
This movie is one of my favorites! Just wish there was expanded lore with the story. There's so much that can be done
Its like solid 3 movies from this Universe. The War on Earth, The Crash Landing/Travel into Space, and the New Begginning/Colonisation.
@propaganda118 definitely could expand upon any or all of those 3 and I'd be like shut up and take my money 🤣
The ending leaves so much room for an interesting sequel.
@FandangoJon at the end I was like damn, i don't have enough information for my nerdy brain to tie up loose ends
I agree completely. It’s between this movie and Pitch Black that I put on my hidden gem Sci-Fi findings. Both were late night can’t sleep let me just find something to watch films and I was hooked. I just would love more from this universe and know what happened during those missing years.
For the past few years my girlfriend and I have regularly uttered the phrase "we need more movies like Pandorum," a good hundred or so times. The mix of action, scary monster suspense, science, psychological strain, and adventure was all cooked together so beautifully.
Have you seen The Titan? It's another movie about tinkering with human genetic adaptations and fleeing a dying Earth, but instead of flat-out leaving the solar system, they're trying to adapt humans to living on Titan. I think it'd be a fun one for you to make into a new episode.
Sounds like a knock-off of "Man Plus".
@@jeffumbach I've never heard of that, so I don't know. The Titan was a movie I saw on Netflix when I still had it.
Using xenomorphing instead of terraforming. Sadly it has the same damn question as this movie - why not use this technology on Earth too? If you can adapt people to somehow survive on Titan of all places, no matter what cataclysm happens on Earth, they'd still find it more livable then Titan, lol:D
@@TheArklyte not to mention it'd be helluva lot easier coming up with food on Earth, even during an environmental catastrophe. Unless they modified some crops or food animals to survive on Titan, that poor dude is probably gonna starve to death.
@@anasazidarkmoon "...gonna starve to death"
Well, they said they've sent other -meals- humans with him, didn't they?;)
I remember watching this as a kid and thinking it was really good. I watched it last night as an adult and realized this movie is phenomenal. One of my favorites
3:26 I love the fact "I am STILL dead" , insinuating that he gets revived later.
2553 - damn am I STILL dead? What is taking so long?
Are you interested in covering the avatar movies now that 2 came out
Cause I know they are kinda boring but the alien world and alien biology is pretty interesting imo
Especially the whole tail nerve system thing
That would actually be a cool idea, id go for that
Scene that freaked me out the most was when the shutters opened up she asked "where are the stars?"
Thanks for covering this movie! I've always been really interested in how the story worked and what the creatures were supposed to be.
Pandorum has been one of my favourite Sci-Fi films of the two-thousands and I always wanted there to be a sequel which unfortunately never came. Having your scientific view of the film was awesome and only increases my love of the film.
I haven't seen you do this often but I would love to see a video with your analysis of what you would imagine would happen to the colonist after they're freed from the ship.🙏
"73 with tornadoes" love that tornadoes have become just a daily thing like yeah it's just a bit tornado-y out today
That moment when they thought they travelled so far the stars were gone really disturbed me as a kid
Underrated movie in my opinion. Like Event Horizon. I hope more people give it a chance.
+1 because Event Horizon is my favorite horror movie! 😁
The theory is this is a seqaul to event horizon. The reason they sent people out in stasis was because the zero point drive didn't work and this was their back up.
I was brought up by a swimming teacher mother, I never really had swimming lessons as I just sort of knew what to do without thinking about it. The problem came when i went through my courses to become a swimming teacher myself because I didnt really know HOW to do something, I just did it. My point is that when you look at a group of people and think "how can they behave like that?", well if you are brought up with something unusual that is treated as normal then you never know that IT IS unusual.
i love this channel, Roanoke is the only channels that go into such detail of biological mechanics on so many varied subjects from games and movies
One of my favorite things about your channel is that it gives me more movies to watch that have slipped under my radar.
I straight up make it a point when a video comes out to go watch the movie first and then come back. Great stuff!
Question: Are you a doctor or medical student? You seem to know your way around medical dialogue, conditions, and other related matter really well.
I appreciate that man, I worked in a microbiology lab testing certain organisms but can't talk about what I actually did haha

The problem is not the capability of Earth to sustain our growth, it's our inability to combat our greed and make long-term plans.
Such an underrated film.
Thanks for covering it!
absolutely, hope you enjoyed bro
Ive been hoping for a video on Pandorum for a long time. One of the first sci-fi movies I saw, and it gave me an interest in sci-fi horror, in combination with the flood from H:CE.
Pandorum is a very under appreciated movie. I'm so glad you're covering this one!
“Jumping around after them like a single mom after two bottles of wine “ 😂😂😂😂
I always thought a sequel would be cool. Maybe not a movie, maybe a TV series or even a video game. Have the 1000 colonists and a bunch of the monsters create their own dualing mirror cultures where they have to contend with the perils of the new planet.
All the monsters where drowned at the end
@@jimmyconway2800 You don't think some could have escaped? Much of the ship was exposed above water?
I wish this movie got a sequel would love to see how they try to build a functioning society, maybe go back in to the ship to get supplies and stuff. Tons of potential.
Unironically my favorite horror movie, I know the scores aren't too high but I've always loved it and rewatched it a few times.
Bro, you have the best metaphors ever . "Like a single mom after two bottles of wine" nearly killed me. I got learn not to eat while watching your videos, one of these days I'm gonna choke and die laughing.
It's one of the reasons why I also like Knights of Sidonia. People had to adapt to their generation ship, and that included genetic engineering humans who could photosynthesize to cut down on food production
I remember seeing this movie on mushrooms…in a theatre. Me and my friends were the only people in there but you would of thought the whole place was packed by the amount of noise we were making. Still haven’t recovered.
I still love this movie so much. It was the first piece of speculative evolution media I ever saw and damn was it a great start to a great genre!
Caillou in the air vents is a good premise for a VR horror game
Have you considered doing a video on the creatures from Pitch Black? It's an underappreciated action/horror movie.
I saw this movie completely by chance on tv, it has since become something I re-watch rather often. Thanks for covering it!
Such a good video. Really glad to see this doing so well and always look forward to the more in-depth look into these movie and video game diseases. Keep it up!
For the longest time I remembered seeing this movie, but couldn't remember it's name. Thank you for this.
I always wanted a sequel or some type of extended cut of this fun movie
The scariest part of this movie was when the innocent crew in pods were ejected/vented into the void. Imagine waking up or being awake, seeing yourself floating out into the darkness, knowing you'll run out of oxygen and no one will come for you, dying afraid.
Love seeing videos about this, such an underrated film, everyone who knows it are absolute chads, and those who haven’t im sure could get there one day
Dude! I just showed this movie to my wife for the first time yesterday!!! And I had no idea this video came out! WTF
The term for the hum of the earth, if I recall correctly is The Hum Of Gaia, and it's a phenomenon that can also occur if you say, go to another country.
From what I've read it's related not just to the "hum" of earth, but the plates in which you live on.
Interesting! Makes sense though, different materials, different frequencies!
@@RoanokeGaming right! That's my own hypothesis aside from the other attributes of different tectonic plates. It could be numerous things actually, from speed to depth and size, and even as stated before, the material itself.
Its super fascinating!
I love these videos, seeing a glimpse into the biology behind the movie is great. I'd love to see your take on the creature from "the autopsy" in Cabinet of Curiosities
Honestly a REALLY under appreciated movie. I'm not a huge horror fan but I loved this one
I LOVE it when the crew takes out an alien with teamwork its like 'YAHHHHHHHHHHH HUMANS!!!!!!!!!!'
Always wanted to watch this movie but never got myself to actually do it, but since I didn't want to get spoiled by watching your video I finally watched it! It was a great movie, so thank you!
I've seen this suggested a few times, glad you covered it brother!
Good one Ro. I wondered about that. It was explained in the movie but vaguely. I'm here because you brother are scientifically thorough...
So you know the theory of the universe just dying and Big Bang-ing over and over? The last part of that intro was just that
I have made it a point to watch all your videos, as I drive a lot for work. I think I've finally accomplished this, and it's crazy to hear you thanking people for having 100 subscribers and now you have almost 850k! You are killing it bro, very knowledgeable and entertaining, plus always interesting theories. Keep up that sigma male grindset bro, always looking forward to your videos!
Roanoke is breaking down my favorite movies one by one, year by year!
I was wondering when you would cover this movie since it was right up your alley. I learned something from it man.
I absolutely love this movie, one of my favourite plot twists of all time
Love this movie, in a special feature commentary on the DVD the director says that they wrote some bio’s for some of the creature characters, and the reason why the leader has no nose was because it was torn off in a fight for leadership with one of his own. And he had won the fight.
35:37 “…issue of inbreeding has already been addressed “ *fade out* ^chef’s kiss moment^
I liked this movie far more than I thought I was going to. I think I streamed it on Netflix back when streaming was relatively new and they didn't have a very complete library. I remember binging a series only to discover after watching season 3, that season 4 could only be watched through their original DVD mailing system. There were a few different shows that I thought I had watched the entire series run, only to discover upon a second viewing and watching episodes I had never seen before that the seasons were missing one or two episode that went listed them as missing. Instead of it being 12 episodes with episode 2 and 7 on DVD only, they showed it as having 10 episodes🤬. Anyway it was pretty good, but I remember upon discovering there was a sequel that there was no way a second movie could possibly be anywhere near as good, and didn't bother to check. The end of the original just didn't leave the door open for anything that would remotely resemble the first one.
I was JUST about to open Netflix to watch some animal documentaries to be inspired to reach my physical potential as a lot of those massive predators do, but this is more important
;)
@@RoanokeGaming also, and I know I’m repetitive: the more I see you, the more inspired I get. Not only because you’re massive, but because it’s clear how passionate you are about your field of science. Funnily enough, I used to not care about this stuff until I started going to the gym. Researching training and nutrition subsequently brought me to discover my fascination for biology, anatomy, zoology and even virology to an extent. It’s weird how a simple sport made me fall in love with so much stuff that doesn’t really have anything to do with powerlifting, but still. Sorry for the rant, I’m just hyped. Keep up the great work brother
Man this explained is great. Cause usually videos are explaining what happened during the movie or explaining the science behind it. You did both!
If I recall correctly the local people on Mt. Everest have some pretty amazing adaptations that allow them to breathe at points high enough 'low landers' need respirators
yes actually, they have larger lungs and a denser network of blood vessels within said lungs, allowing them to more easily pull oxygen out of thinner air
I absolutely love this film. Totally underrated.
I adore this movie and would really love a sequel. We need more low to mid budget fun sci-fi.
Roanoke is easily my favorite channel, some cable exec needs to give this man his own show asap, my guys got talent.
Great video as always Roanoke. I have a question, do you think you may one day cover the Beast Plague from Bloodborne?
Yes! Getting back into video games as well lately on this channel so will have to do some bloodborne!
@@RoanokeGaming awesome! Love to see how you try and make sense of one of From Softwares insane games
@@RoanokeGaming I asked the same thing. Great to hear man. Love your vids
I swear weeks prior under one of your other videos I was asking for a Pandorum video since the movie is so close to a dead space movie. I’m so glad you’ve covered this movie
I always thought the peel from stasis was like a geel or layer like suit to protect the skin against the cold. Idk first time i saw it I thought it was kind of a brilliant detail.
I love Pandorum. It's right up there with Event Horizon!
One of my most favorite movies. Also why jersey is terrible among other reasons, the weather, it gets 90f with 100% humidity in the summer but it can get to 1f in the winter. You finally start to get used to it and the weather changes.
I hate it here.
I love this movie, reminded me of dead space and was just a joy to watch. Would love to see more space horror.
God this movie was such a trip and seemingly nobody saw it! Bravo for covering it!
Love this movie. Also, what you have to do to avoid copyright strikes and RUclips bullshit policy is mind-boggling.
The twist that they arrived idk how long ago and are just underwater was a wild one firat time watching this
Hello there ^w^
Sorry for bothering but i love hearing your voice and your explaining of this kind of things, so was wondering - would you perhaps want to explain a "Monsters" from a movie called "Spectral" (2016) and if perhaps they could exist irl
Just curious ^w^
Can anyone pinpoint me to the timeframe where Roanoke explains how these mutants are able to outperform those impressive vertical jumper tutorials here on YT?
Hey Roanoke. I just recently learned that if they keep striking down your videos. You can put a video of yourself in the corner as if you're doing a reaction video, and then usually your video won't be hit. Learned this from Wendigoo .
Keep it up. You are one of my fave channels! I love the in-depth discussions about the creatures. Love it!
Man, I truly do love this channel. I do wonder if he remembers me from one of his first few videos that he replied to my comment.
Either way, I'm happy he has achieved a strong youtube platform!
Honestly the one thing about this movie I liked the most is the various hand crank generators especially the one for the computer. Besides that great video
Wish they expanded more on this series, with a population that high just on earth and space travel already possible there most of been colonies in our own solar system.
