Prometheus

Rating: 2/10 (31 August 2001)

I don't think I've ever seen a worse movie than Event Horizon. While the early graphics were good, the script was bloody awful. It's essentially the story of Prometheus, retold yet again. Prometheus, you recall, stole the secret of fire from the gods and was punished by being chained to a rock and having his liver eternally pecked out by eagles.
"Bloody" is the best one-word description. There's lots and lots of blood, in fact - gallons of it. Disembowelments that make Prometheus's torment look like a Sunday picnic. And why? Because the scientist broke the laws of physics.
I'm not surprised to find Sam Neill in this turkey, but I'm disappointed that Lawrence Fishburn's considerable skills were wasted on it.
Most everyone dies horribly, of course, but you can save yourself. Don't come within ten parsecs of this gobbler.
