Incomprehensible Mess

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2000)

"Event Horizon" is one of the worst films that I have ever seen. Very rarely has so much talent and money been squandered on such an ugly mess of a movie. The film deals with an outer space crew who is trying to retrieve a mysterious ship which is trapped deep in the outer limits. The original crew have all been killed and now this crew must find out why. Why? Why? Why? That seems to be the key question of this film. The screenplay is all over the universe. It adds elements from films like "The Exorcist", "Aliens", "The Abyss", "Apollo 13", "Jaws", and just about every other film ever produced. If one idea had been used throughout, then the film would have been admirable and watchable if nothing else. However the references to the aforementioned films make "Event Horizon" a movie that wants desperately to be good, but just does not have the goods to make that dream a reality. Turkey (0 out of 5 stars).
