However, maybe "imitation is the sincerest flattery," since "Alien" did it so well. Besides, "Alien" wasn't all that original, either. It was just a variation on "The Old Dark House." Substitute a big, spooky spaceship for a big, spooky house, a space alien for a ghost or a monster, and a space crew for house guests who get picked off one at a time, and they're the same stories.

So Pandorum is hardly the only movie which borrows from something else.

And Star Wars stole from a thousand other movies. Magnificent Seven was a remake of Seven Samurai. Alien is Jaws in space. And Jaws is Creature from the Black Lagoon, among others.
I will happily be the guinea pig. It's a space movie and a thriller/horror movie with Ben Foster. What's not to like? (It can not possibly be any worse then Gamer or some of the other horse crap I've seen this year...)
