Great Movie? Well, I wouldn't go that Far

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2001)

Event Horizon wasn't that bad; I kind of liked it. My problem is that the backstory about the ship had a better story than the plot of this movie. I feel like the filmmakers and the studios think that the audience is dumber than a bag of hammers. They figure that since our feeble brains can hardly add fractions, we don't understand anything complex. So, they trade in an interesting story for a stupid action movie. True, I'm not an experienced physicist, but I'd like science better than exploitation. Seen it! Who knows, by making more complicated films, we might be bemused by this plucky motion picture industry. I could sense the irony in the physicist explaining the "dimensional gateway" to a bunch of palookas who look more confused by this movie's premise than we do. Rating: 6/10 (Great song at the end; Hip stuff, huh?)
