A mysterious sci-fi thriller

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 1998)

The action takes place in space, where a group of scientists are on a mission to find out where the mysterious "Event Horizon" ship has been for the past several years. The ship is capable of folding space and travelling through a portal of such that it can take it to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. The ship has returned after many years, and the mission is to find out where it has been, what happened to the crew, and what has it brought back.
I know what you're thinking; "A ship that can fold space??" That's about the most basic way of putting it. But it is very cleverly explained by one of the characters in the movie, a physicist who is fascinated the most with the strange Event Horizon. Also keep in mind, the whole thing is set a few years into the future which would surpass conventional science as we know it presently. Combined with above average special effects and great scenery, the whole idea of the movie works quite well.
The plot is very interesting. If you like a little mystery and suspense, you'll get hooked right from the beginning because it forces you to watch to know what is in that ship, and what will be the ultimate fate of the crew. I believe at several critical moments it can even leave you at the edge of your seat. But be warned, more towards the end there's a good chance you'll fall off.
