The best

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2000)

Ok forget all bad comments about this movie. It's the most intelligent horror movie ever! It's maybe even the best science fiction movie ever too. Forget Alien and all the copies of it, they are no match for Event Horizon. This film doesn't need monsters or aliens. The cast is small but amazing and from all over the english speaking world, and they are all perfect for their part. If you look close you will also see that the special effects are much better than in all other sci-fi movies. The ships actually feel real and it looks like real metal not some computer creations.
After seeing Event films like Alien seem ridiculous and not the other way around. It might be a mix of other movies but it is better than them. A lot of people didn't understand the storyline or what this film is about (like in "Fight Club" for example), if you do though you can watch the finest sci-fi film ever.
Let's call it a Generation-X movie. You are in another age? Forget it you mabye would not like it.
The cast has short dialogues which are played perfect, and it is shot very interestingly. The music is second to none.
The beginning of the film is one of the best ever (music, titles), and its also no typical hollywood movie since it is directed by a european. Some wrote that it becomes painful at the end, and heck yes it is that frightening :-) It is that good!
This film rocks!
