Review of Event Horizon (1997) by Joshua P — 30 Oct 2010
This movie is good in that all the actors take the movie seriously, nobody phones it in, nobody mugs for the camera, and when you have a sci-fi icons like Fishburne and Neill at the core of the cast it can't be bad on that front.
It is bad in that... How to put this? The entirety of the sets are aimed at being scary, so nothing looks realistic, and it comes off as silly in that way. See "Alien" had a ship that was very functional looking, it was an oil tanker in space basically, this ship looks like it was designed by a brain trust commissioned by Skeletor, Lex Luthor, Dormammu, Pinhead, and Sam Neill.
