Sci-fi that goes nowhere.......

Rating: 1/10 (22 January 2008)

I have a friend who religiously attends a 24 hour sci-fi festival each February. I was quite surprised that he had not heard of "Event Horizon", considering the number of sci-fi's he has seen. With great anticipation we watched it and his reaction was that it was nothing more than a sound and light show, with a non-existent plot, and minimal character development. So the question is, what is the attraction of this movie? Perhaps the funhouse type jump scares appeal to the horror crowd, but if it's the gore that attracts, why put up with a whole bunch of sci-fi mambo jumbo? I give up and so will you. Not recommended. - MERK
