Good, but just that...

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2014)

"Event Horizon" is just one of the many different sci-fi movies there are. The idea of the film is unoriginal but entertaining. This movie helped me burn some time I had left to spare, but nothing more. The characters throughout the film didn't make me love nor hate them. It didn't create any kind of feelings for me at all.
Overall, the acting was good. The special effects were good (considering this film was made in 1997). The plot was good. But therein lay the problem: everything was just good and nothing more. However, what did impress me was the amount of gore towards the end of the movie. I didn't expect to see someone gouge his eyes off. Neither did I imagine seeing a corpse hanging from the walls from hooks with his guts spilled over the floor. (It wasn't actually that bad, I was just not expecting this kind of violence.)
Sometimes Paul Anderson went a little over the top with some scenes, but nothing worth mentioning. Don't get me wrong, "Event Horizon" is a good movie and it is worth watching, but it will never stand out, at least for me.
With that said, I give this movie a 7/10 (even with all those cheesy lines).
