Terribly disappointing Sci/Fi horror film

Rating: 1/10 (13 July 2018)

This may be the worst sci-fi horror movie i've ever seen. Which is terribly unfortunate as the subject matter about what lies beyond the Event Horizon of a Black Hole lends itself well to so many interesting (and fantastical ) possibilities that in the right hands has the potential to be a great film. The film moves very slowly but does not deliver any kind of reward for those who are patient enough to wait for it to unravel. One of my biggest criticisms of the film is that is doesn't explore what happened to the crew of The Event Horizon sufficiently to make it engaging and interesting enough. All those "flash back" scenes of the crew only serve to frustrate the viewer as it is not sufficiently fleshed out tat the end. We can only surmise some terrible "thing" happened to them. It both frustrating and yes becomes boring. Also almost as a homage to Alien(s) it borrows scenes directly from the movie. For instance the scene where Sam Neil is sucked out of the airlock. The scene where the rescue vessel discovers and boards the pod from the Event Horizon ( so similar to start Aliens go check it out) and the scene where one of the survivors "dreams" the evil Sam Neil is one of the rescuers........well it seemed pretty obvious to me. Over all terrible film.
I wonder when Sam Neil walks into one of those lovely old Pubs in Dunedin New Zealand after a day working on the farm, whether the locals ask him "hey Sam weren't you in that movie , Event Horizon?" Just as he's about to throw a dart just to put him off..........i would! Ha!
