Review of Event Horizon (1997) by Grant S — 29 Jun 2015
Decent sci fi-horror movie.
In 2040 a space exploration vehicle, the Event Horizon, disappears near Neptune. In 2047 a search vehicle finds the Event Horizon and sets about figuring what happened. The crew might not like what they find...
Fairly interesting and intriguing plot. Though you sort of know where this is going (from the synopsis and first signs in the movie), it is not that predictable. It is just original enough to keep you interested..
On the downside, plot is not entirely watertight. eg Ship's hull is fractured, yet the crew in the affected area are still able to breathe...
CGI is fine.
Good dramatic cast - Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Joely Richardson, Kathleen Quinlan (among others) - who all put in solid performances.
Not a must-see, but reasonably entertaining.
