The final act, which should have been shocking and macabre, is daft and way over the top, and although it's action packed, it's pretty boring in the end. Visually it's very impressive, and the build and maguffin are quite unsettling, but after a while, it turns into a film about people walking down a corridor and trying not to look into a spinning ball. Issacs and Pertwee are really good, and show that they are as reliable as always. Fishburne and Neill do the norm and are as watchable as ever, but it's the supporting cast that really surprise in this. But the script is very bad, and the inclusion of Jones as Cooper is an awful inclusion as he he is just there for comic relief, and feels really out of place in this sort of film. And for the most part, it works very well. The first thing you notice is that this is the Shining in apace, but with added effects and obviously more space and loud noises to make you jump. As the crew reach the ship, and spend longer on it, it appears that someone or something is toying with them, and more, the question is what has the Event Horizon become?. A rescue hastily speeds to the returned vessel after a transmission was picked up from the ship, garbled, but vaguely resembling a human voice. The year is 2047 and a ship named the Event Horizon has re-appeared after disappearing 7 years prior, in experiments for faster than light travel. This one is probably the best of the ones I know, but could have been even better had they left the deleted scenes in. The only other one I can think of is Lifeforce which does have some cool visuals, but mainly takes place on earth. Wanted Nightflyers, but that is not even on DVD. Of course, my biggest question is how the heck did a copy of the film with the extra scenes end up in a Transylvania salt mine? So, I liked this film as I have been trying to watch all the supernatural horror in space I can. I just think it would have been better with more extended peeks into hell, because who wasn't curious to see what the makers of the film came up with? Unfortunately, they got a squeamish test audience who thought it was too much and us horror fans are left to wonder. The.visuals are really good too and the film has a very good atmosphere essentially being a spaceship that is haunted. I knew Sam Neil would be good and so is Lawrence Fishborne. As they explore the ship, stranger and stranger things keep happening and hampering any chance of the rescue team making it out alive! I thought all the actors and actresses did good. Of course, it does this by opening a black hole and we will learn over time that where it leads, no man should go. Weir, who is the man who invented the special engine used to propel the ship forward. A crew is set with the task of going to this vessel and discovering if there is anyone left alive and to salvage the ship if possible. Though, this one is good as I so enjoy the supernatural and then to combine it with science fiction.awesome! The story, a ship, 'Event Horizon' has disappeared and seven years later as reappeared. What we get is good, but the potential is there for it to be way more disturbing, a horror film that is totally fabricated, but still resonates. They pick random people, probably a broad variety, but bland as all get out to help the studio execs gut a director's vision. Ah test audiences, if not for you, we would of had a way more disturbing and horrific movie.
