Drawing from Andrei Tarkovsky's heady science fiction meditation Solaris by way of Alien and Hellraiser, this visually splendid but pulpy piece of science fiction schlock concerns a mission in the year 2047 to investigate the experimental American spaceship Event Horizon, which disappeared seven years previously and suddenly, out of nowhere, reappeared in the orbit of Neptune. Laurence Fishburne stars as mission commander Captain Miller and Sam Neill is Dr. Weir, the scientist who designed the mystery ship. Miller's T-shirt- and army-green-clad crew of smart-talking pros finds a ship dead and deserted, but further investigations turn up blood, corpses, dismembered body parts, and a decidedly unearthly presence. It turns out that the ship is really a space-age haunted house where spooky (and obviously impossible) visions lure each of the crew members into situations they should know better than to enter. The ship is gorgeously designed, borrowing from the dark, organic look of Alien and adding the menacing touch of teeth sprouting from bulwark doors and clawlike spikes inexplicably shooting out of the engine room floor. Unfortunately the film is not nearly as inventive as the production design--it turns into a woefully inconsistent psychic monster movie that sacrifices mood for tepid shocks--but the special effects are topnotch, and ultimately the movie has a trashy B movie charm about it. --Sean Axmaker

Description

The year is 2047. Years earlier, the pioneering research vessel Event Horizon vanished without a trace. Now a signal from it has been detected, and the United States Aerospace Command responds. Hurtling toward the signal's source are a fearless captain (Laurence Fishburne), his elite crew and the lost ship's designer (Sam Neill). Their mission: find and salvage the state-of-the-art spacecraft. What they find is state-of-the-art interstellar terror.

3 out of 5 stars Could've been great. .......2007-05-27

This movie had so much going for it, but it never really found its groove. So many elements necessary for a good sci-fi thriller were there but not put to good use.
Having said that, I still recommend checking it out. It's kind of a mess, but I can't deny the creep factor of this movie. It's dark and brooding and has a few good shocks.
As with everything else I've seen by Paul Anderson, something's missing. It's the body of a good movie absent a soul. Maybe one of these days he'll get it all together on one. I'll look forward to it.

4 out of 5 stars some event!!.......2007-05-13

Not worthy of the fifth star, as I found the editing to be confusing, with a 'limited budget' feel about it, with the acting not as expected from the known actors.

4 out of 5 stars Very good film.......2007-05-07

Event Horizon is a very good film spawned from a unique idea. The blend of sci-fi and horror borders on genius. It was equally original and terrifying. I like the idea of having a futuristic film involving space travel that doesnt involve a ridiculous story about aliens. Lawrence Fishburne is outstanding in this movie. I think it's a must have for any intelligent person who appreciates a movie that is outside the realm of typical American cinema. This film can be appreciated even if you dont like sci-fi or horror. It's that good.

5 out of 5 stars Event Horizon.......2007-03-20

This is probably one of the scariest movies of all time. Sam Neil at his best. You've got a great script mixed with awsome special effects. This movie is just all around pleasing, and I recommend it for any library.

5 out of 5 stars The average person has no idea what quality is........2007-03-05

This review will be used interchangeably for a few titles. Event horizon, The darkness (Anna Paquin), And Jeepers Creepers. These are all excellent in one way or another, have good production values and acting. Jeepers has the best movie monster creation of the last 20 years. And the darkness has a great story and a solid non happy ending. Event horizon has excellent acting by Sam neill and Laurence fishburn and a truly creepy story. The bottom line is you see reviews for movies like these and Wes Cravens They for example where many people give them 2 star ratings while going on and on about The grudge or the ring 2 or house of wax, Blair witch 2 and Ring around the rosie (one of the worst and most pointless movies Ive ever watched.) This just goes to prove once again that the average person refuses to think and doesnt want a movie that might require any thought to follow. Originality is punished by the masses because clever things make them feel dumb.

Unfortunately the film is not nearly as inventive as the production design--it turns into a woefully inconsistent psychic monster movie that sacrifices mood for tepid shocks--but the special effects are topnotch, and ultimately the movie has a trashy B movie charm about it. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Could've been great. .......2007-05-27

This movie had so much going for it, but it never really found its groove. So many elements necessary for a good sci-fi thriller were there but not put to good use.
Having said that, I still recommend checking it out. It's kind of a mess, but I can't deny the creep factor of this movie. It's dark and brooding and has a few good shocks.
As with everything else I've seen by Paul Anderson, something's missing. It's the body of a good movie absent a soul. Maybe one of these days he'll get it all together on one. I'll look forward to it.

4 out of 5 stars some event!!.......2007-05-13

Not worthy of the fifth star, as I found the editing to be confusing, with a 'limited budget' feel about it, with the acting not as expected from the known actors.

4 out of 5 stars Very good film.......2007-05-07

Event Horizon is a very good film spawned from a unique idea. The blend of sci-fi and horror borders on genius. It was equally original and terrifying. I like the idea of having a futuristic film involving space travel that doesnt involve a ridiculous story about aliens. Lawrence Fishburne is outstanding in this movie. I think it's a must have for any intelligent person who appreciates a movie that is outside the realm of typical American cinema. This film can be appreciated even if you dont like sci-fi or horror. It's that good.

5 out of 5 stars Event Horizon.......2007-03-20

This is probably one of the scariest movies of all time. Sam Neil at his best. You've got a great script mixed with awsome special effects. This movie is just all around pleasing, and I recommend it for any library.

5 out of 5 stars The average person has no idea what quality is........2007-03-05

This review will be used interchangeably for a few titles. Event horizon, The darkness (Anna Paquin), And Jeepers Creepers. These are all excellent in one way or another, have good production values and acting. Jeepers has the best movie monster creation of the last 20 years. And the darkness has a great story and a solid non happy ending. Event horizon has excellent acting by Sam neill and Laurence fishburn and a truly creepy story. The bottom line is you see reviews for movies like these and Wes Cravens They for example where many people give them 2 star ratings while going on and on about The grudge or the ring 2 or house of wax, Blair witch 2 and Ring around the rosie (one of the worst and most pointless movies Ive ever watched.) This just goes to prove once again that the average person refuses to think and doesnt want a movie that might require any thought to follow. Originality is punished by the masses because clever things make them feel dumb.
