Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

iankirkcrunch Full of inconsisies not good acting and crap dialogue

Crabby McGrouchpants This movie, which I just saw for $4 at the Academy theater and hadn't checked out since I saw it on video a few years after it played in theaters, is a terrific 3-out-of-4 stars sci-fi as I remembered, all right. What's great about this picture -- even though, at times, it may cause dialogue to be a bit clunky and the pacing to not be the best -- is there isn't a wasted shot in the movie; everything's bringing you new information, and you need to know what is going on, and orient yourself. I've always liked the Alien/Outland-esque "we're working class dudes-and-gals in a tin bucket who could die no less in space than if we were in the middle of the *ocean*" trip, and Laurence Fishburne is one of the most quietly compelling actors of the nineties (let's not *just* count The Matrix, okay?). Sam Neill's range slips a little, here; he seems to be "I'm Sam Neill GOING CRAZY!" a bit too quickly and willingly here, but that's alright. The premise of Solaris is all over the place, the movie reeks of it; what with the ship that thinks, the suicidal wife, and different rules when you're "way out there," if you know the Tarkovsky original, the Soderberg re-make (which I haven't seen) or the Stanislaw Lem novel it's going to be on your mind. Still, this movie's not predictable; it earns its dangers and recoveries -- you're finding out with the crew, including Dr. Sam Neill (who does a not-bad job about explaining how the Event Horizon could skirt spacetime, years before Interstellar came out).If you don't live in Portland, you might not remember ...

kilgoreboys What could be better than The Matrix? What could do what Alien did but better? Not Event Horizon. I have no idea why people follow this movie so much. It is one of the few times when I thought the things that were terribly bad, wasn't funny. This movie is a horror movie, but it is boring as hell, and not scary in the slightest. I actually see it leaning more towards an action movie than a horror, even though it is clearly filmed for horror. The director did not understand atmosphere for horror. The acting was atrocious, and the dialogue was simply cliche and boring.

Paul Evans The crew of a small ship set off into deep space to recapture the Event Horizon, a ship that's been to some dark places in Space. On that ship is Event Horizon creator Doctor Weir, and when the crew get trapped on board the Event Horizon they face some horrific events.The movie is incredibly atmospheric, even after all these years it holds up very well, the ship looks great, well designed with strong production values. The music is particularly good, again adding to the sense of fear. Soon good special effects, sure it rattles a little around the edges, but it was made back in 1997. There isn't a reliance on gore, as there are with so many current films, although it does contain some rather grim scenes.I'm a big fan of Joseph Richardson, but she somehow looks and feels a little out of place in a sci-fi movie, I don't buy into her. Definite star of the show is Sam Neill who is definitely a cut above, he's cool and menacing.I'm surprised at just how much I enjoyed watching it once again. 8/10
