No Event On Any Horizon.

Rating: 1/10 (3 September 2015)

Event Horizon (1997): Dir: Paul Anderson / Cast: Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones: Mindless Alien rip-off with the only event seen over the horizon being leaving the theatre at a quick pace. Laurence Fishburne captains a spacecraft where Sam Neill boards claiming to have built another craft called Event Horizon. Apparently it can bring reality to the worst nightmares of any given person before execution. For viewers it could mean viewing the film again. Predictable storytelling that executes morons in gory techniques. Directing by Paul Anderson is uninspiring. He previously made the equally stupid Mortal Kombat. Fishburne shouldn't add this as a career highlight. Neill plays the villain with the brain the size of a pea. He claims that the craft created a big hole to hell. Kathleen Quinlan plunges to her death after one stupid move. Perhaps she realized that this wasn't a good career choice after Apollo 13 and couldn't live with the decision to star in it. Joely Richardson is also featured among others. Nobody here is likely to place this film high on their list of great career achievements. It does contain fine visual effects but one may have to look beyond the horizon to find a story. Although one can create a hole but not to hell. No, the hole I am referring to is the toilet once this film is flushed out of sight. Score: 1 / 10
