Film Review #15: Event Horizon

PRELUDE:  For the record, it seems there is no trace of anything anywhere pertaining to a "film review #14"-- hence, one has not been written.  The blog is void of any such notes, and I've had a damn-long week, so if you want a #14, post the assignment and THEN I will write it.  Until such a time, 15 will be the extent of my trial.

Ok.  Anyway.

Event Horizon is a crazy late '90s Sci-Fi horror flick about a spaceship that travels to another dimension whilst attempting to test a new method of travel.  Then, a crew goes to rescue/salvage it after it shows up after a couple years...  This crew is who the movie follows.

All in all it was very... '90s.  The standard tense camera work, overdone foreshadowing, cacophonous plot/character development...  Yeah.  Nothing special.  A somewhat interesting but broken (and hence, dis-interesting) concept as to how everything went to *excuse my French* shit, and why it does so for the rescue crew as well.  Basically, everyone just goes bat-shit crazy and starts seeing things; then, they go and murder one another.

Don't see it.  A lot of built-up suspense for disengaging anomalies and whatnot.  You want something good in this category, go watch 2001: A Space Odyssey.  Or, better yet (maybe.  I need to watch 2001 again) go play Dead Space.  That shit is   FUCKED   UP.

K, I'm done.  Enough swearing.  Sleep.
