That's what I was wondering when I watched Event Horizon on the big screen. It seemed promising, but the ending was flat. Laurence Fishburne really carried out this movie.Funny thing is that I keep thinking there was once an old movie with the same... plot, but in sea and not in space. Read more Less

Great movie..but

It is essentially a great movie with a great plot. But it could have used more development. Ending was too abrupt . Should have been expanded.Nonetheless, I recommend watching it: good adrenalin rush.

A great movie that needs a little help.

This is an excelent movie to watch while in the movie theaters or in a movie theater setting, but if you are watching at home with your friends and family in front of a regular television set and don't have surround sound blasting in your ears you d...on't get the full effect of the movie. Everything in this movie is mind blowing, Lawrence Fishburne and Sam Niell give powerful preformances, the plot and setting is fresh and original, and the music really sets the mood of the scenes. If in the proper setting this movie will give you nightmares and make you think of things that you have never thought of before. Just watch it if you have the right set up for your house.

Ah well, it was actually a good movie...

Alright, here is the thing.Event Horizon is a great movie. Technically, he is perfect. Very, very well made. It is a movie to the ones who loves to listen histories about earth misteries, like that history about two french guys who tried to reach th...e earth center, and there was a moment when they heard screams and whispers of pain and horror, right where they couldn't dig.It is a very scary movie also. That naked woman without eyes send shivers through my spine everytime I see her. The main problem with the movie is that the conclusion sucks. Oh common....that movie was sooooo good. Why do we have to watch a hand entering in someone's mouth and taking its stomach and heart? Or watch someone without eyes shout "Liberarte-me!"? The latin idea was preety smart, but oh man....why? Why do we have to watch so much gore after an extravagant movie? People coming back.....I expected much more.The movie IS good. Don't listen to the ones who didn't like it. But also don't listen to the ones who thinks it's perfect. It is a good movie - an extravagant movie - with a ridiculous ending. Read more Less

Intriguing.

Takes science fiction in to the most secret and most hidden human fears. What will science lead to? Aren't we playing with something bigger than expected? Are we able to calculate all the effects of our actions?

Second scarriest movie next to The Exorcist. You'll either love or hate this one, and I'm definitely one of the former.

Was great

A great science fiction movie. Managed to have an interesting plot and it really is quite frightening. I definitely recommend it.

Lots of possibilities but went nowhere

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 25, 1999

Started off great: interesting premise,
decent stars (Neill and Fishburne),
interesting visuals that managed
to haunt my dreams. But it never
managed to go anywhere. Ends up
just being another jump-out-and-scare-
you flick. No brain required.

Pros: it's a space movie

Cons: it's a hopeless indulgence in lurid evil

It's also predictable --especially for a nihilist. An example of "gratuitous ________________" (fill in the blank).
