Both movies are about a tragedy striking and the main lead trying to save everyone. Leaves you on the edge of your seat and leaves you grabbing some tissues. Got very similar vibes whilst watching this.
Both are disaster-themed movies where they need to save people who lives near the vicinity. One is a nuclear power plant while the other one is oil depot.
Same Impending Collapse and Desperation. "Pandora" deals with a nuclear disaster where people are trapped and must fight to survive as a power plant threatens to explode, causing widespread devastation.
