Relates to "Sphere" as "Braveheart" relates to "Rob Roy"

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 1998)

It seems to me that many movie concepts nowadays are "released twice". Two very similar movies are released within a short period of time. "Braveheart" and "Rob Roy", "Volcano" And "Dante's Peak", "Deep impact" and "Armageddon", "Wyatt Earp" and "Tombstone", for example. In my opinion, "Event Horizon" is similar in concept to "Sphere". It is a claustrophobic thriller with an unexpected twist in the plot at the end, but, IMHO, "Event Horizon" is a lot more scary. (Gave me a couple of good shocks in the beginning), and the twist (when the origin of the ship is revealed) was more effective than the one in "Sphere".
Good effects, Nice mood, unusual plot. If you are a fan of Horror and Sci-Fi movies, I recommend it, Otherwise it might be a bit hard to swallow. I give it 6 of 10.
